The christening is coming, just been away for work too much lately and still trying to run it in
Well, just filled up after 220 km and put 25 litres of diesel into it. This works out to be around 11.3l/100km which is great news(all town driving) :) . As CRD's can be very thirsty, I think I might have got a good one.
This should hopefully get better as she runs in. Driving to Sydney today so should have a better idea on highway k's usage
Another diesel show off!!! lmaoQuote:

Nice pics. It looks like the polar white? I am interested to know the manuf date, mine is 11/11 and described as a ZD30-5F MAN 08 MY. Do you know what differentiates between a GU7 and GU8?
What Stereo did you fit? looks pretty good.

That is about it I think
Sounds good. Which rear bar are you going. I've been liking the kaymar but the ARB looks real good colour coded. The kaymar seems more friendly to change arms on. Trying to decide myself.
Thanks for the detail stability control sounds good
Not really sure, the wallet is a bit light on ATM. I refuse to put any ARB crap on my bus...bunch of f'ing wankers!!! OK ARB rant over...LOLOLOLQuote:

Thanks Sneaky, As they say not here for a long time but a good time...HAHAHHA. I can't wait to get out and about but just no time at the moment and I need a boat and not a 4x4 around here at the moment. lololQuote:

Hahahahaha OK if 45ft is too long then how about a 9ft one?? You can still fish off a Jetski!!Quote:

I want to jump in with one of those beasts...I've got a few diving tickets but to dive with one of those is my dream...drool, drool. Even a cage dive would probably do me to calm me down for a whileQuote:

Well done mate, a great build up.
How do you find the BullyDog?
The Bully Dog is excellent except the boost is displayed in KPA(when its on metric setting) which is a bit annoying. I've emailed them to seeQuote:

Congratulations Mate... She'll Kick Ass once you put all those extras in... I'm sure if you get the tow pack from the dealer they would throw in a transmission cooler for free...
Now you tell me! lololo. I didn't think of that at all, oh well you win some, you loose some..hahahaQuote:

Did you fit it yourself? If so did the ISO cable supplied fit OK, or did you need to get another "Nissan" adapted cable, if so where from and part no. would be helpful.

The iGo8 navigation software is one of the better ones I have used. It's absolutely brilliant .
The sound is very crisp even with the sh1ty Patrol speakers. The best part is the screen and videos...bloody nice!! User-friendliness is much better as my old one so very easy to use. USB is easy as, you just plug in a stick and it automaticly switched over, same with songs on SD card. I would recommend it to anyone.
Took about 10 minutes to install but you will need an ISO adaptor and I found the Holden Rodeo or Mitsubishi Triton fit mine. These will depend on which model Patrol you have as they changed depending which stereo unit was installed. $14.95 from Repco, they have heaps of different ones. I think autoban sell them as well.
The only issue I had with install I found the constant 12v and switched 12V where wrong way around, so it wasn't holding its channel memory and would do a long start-up every time. 5 min fix.
If you do get one and need a hand, just yell out mate and we'll have it sorted no time.
Thanks for that Kris.
I'm in the "just looking" mode at the moment. For the past couple of years I have been using a windscreen mounted "no name" GPS from Chinavasion running IGO8 and OziCE, (with a 4gb SD micro card) the screen at 5" is getting a bit small for my poor old eyes now! Also keen to be able to run the music through a USB connection, changing CDs are just too much trouble in the bush.
Couple more additions fitted today...
The Pro Locket is now in
Compressor
Attachment 13333
They fitted the compressor and locker switches arse about. I wanted the locker swich away and next to the sub tank switch just in case,
