Installed clear side indicators from a Nissan X-Trail.
Just snipper off the factory Patrol plug and soldered the wires.http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum.../2022/03/4.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum.../2022/03/5.jpg
Finally took the door cards off to replace the split insert on the drivers side , did both sides so they match, whilst the cards were off noticed a bit of rust on the top fold where the trim goes on, it must be leaking a bit so treated that whilst I had the cards off. Also put a new pod filter in to replace the old filthy one.
Early D21 Navara use the exact same indicators as the Patrol except they are clear. No mod required. FYI. :)Quote:

The X-Trail ones cost me $10 for the pair from the wreckers ;)
Edit: actually looking at the receipt they cost $5 for the pair!
Haha, yeah the cheaper one for the win!!!Quote:

What is a club reg?Quote:

You get a certain amount of kilometers allocated to you per month you are allowed to travel. So you must carry and filled in a log book each and every time you use the Patrol. I think, there is different fees for different amount of kilometers allocated too. So if you were to do a big trip you simply pay more to get more k's allocated. Still way cheaper than standard reg. Also to get club reg you must be a member of a registered club to be eligible to club reg and the vehicle must be 25years or older.Quote:

You can pay double the fee and get 90 days.

Yep. Winnie is correct.
Your kms need to match your Speedo if you get pulled over.
What alot of people don't understand that you are obtaining a permit to drive an unregistered vehicle.
Mate of mine has vh commodore on club and pays around $250 in insurance a year on a car that's valued at $30k+. Their theory is that the car isn't on the road as much, so therefore less of a risk.
And yes, if traveling interstate make sure what your have is legally allowed to be there.
Pretty sure that Qld is 30 years to be eligible.

IMHO, in Victoriastan HC (and or enroute) = Cop Bait 🥲
Yes GQ’s and soon some early GU’s will be eligible but is it worth saving/attracting a potential scrutiny of minor modifications at best? [emoji848]

Just on the Vic club permit, also be aware that if you have your vehicle modified it may require a engineering certificate and then a M plate (modified) with be required. Most seem to get away with the H (historic) plate...

It’s pretty impressive but I’ll need time to get used to the fact that you no longer have that typical doughy vacuum booster feel in the pedal. It’s like when you lose vacuum and the pedal goes hard except that it brakes really well without having to stand on the pedal.Quote:

I don’t see the price of the ECB pads justified for the rear but there are other good quality pads around.
Hello Guys, I own a y62 nissan 2021. Can anybody help me find a place in Sydney that does good work on performance all around like alot off places in WA and VIC and Qld. Nothing in Sydney from what i can find....Cheers all
Just got the patrol (2016 CRD) back after a 4 week wait due to a hold up with parts. Had the full Fabwitz FMIC/Snorkel/Intake Pipework/Airbox fitted along with a destalled Torque converter/Heavy duty flex plate/stage 2 valve body, all fitted by West Coast 4x4 creations in Perth.
Then on Monday she’s off down to modified diesel performance for a UFI ZL30 and Alphatec module. I took it for a good 250km drive today to make sure all was well, and man! It’s like driving a different vehicle, nice firm shifts with no flaring and no need to constantly back off due to high EGT’s on the hills.
Can’t wait till next week after the new tune and ZL30 are done, should have plenty of grunt. She’ll be pushing somewhere around the 180-200rwhp as a daily.
Pic of the Fabwitz kit below, after taking to Shaun at westcoast, I’m glad he fitted it all and not myself. Reckons it was an absolute pain to do.

Pushing some good numbers now the ZL30 Turbo and tune with an Alphatec module have been fitted.
Different beast to drive now, very happy with it! I think the best mod I’ve done is the transmission stuff, what a difference in driveability it’s all made :)
Keep in mind the figures below are from a hub dyno.
Base Tune: 145hp : 383Nm
Tune 1: 209.9hp : 538Nm
Tune 2: 241.6hp : 634Nm

Attachment 85188New led driving lights, awesome, slowly getting it like my old one, better 2 as I know what to get after the old troll.
Overhauling the rear brakes. Rebuilding calipers and fitting RDA rotors with DBA Extreme pads.
Decided to paint the calipers but need to bake them in the oven tomorrow before fitting the new rubbers, etc.

All baked, rebuilt & refitted. Just need to bleed it all and try it out..
Attachment 85257
Why did you bake them? When I rebuilt my calipers I just sprayed them, let it dry, assembled them and off I went. Still nice and red 50thou later.Quote:

Just following the instructions on the VHT Caliper Paint can. They say for max chemical resistance to bake for an hour at 200F.Quote:
