Some good carbon buildup in the intake manifold so will clean it out when the mani gaskets arrive. Walk into local Nissan dealer. Give them part #. 1-2 weeks. Boom. Ready to pick up from Japan. Love global Nissan parts.
chrome is disappearing slowly and being replaced by Mr. Satin Black
Purrs like a kitten. Soft idle until you hammer the throttle. Turbo pickup is smooth. I can't believe the difference in noise/ride compared to the older GQ/Y60's. This one feels almost identical to the Y61 I drove in the UK. All in all, an enjoyable JDM project rig to work on.

Icom 2300H VHF radio w/ 2m antenna install
Slid right into the stock ashtray location without fitment issues.
Chose the Icom because they are local 20mins away, on sale at a ham swap meet booth and small form factor.

Front procomp shocks fitted.
A lot more downtravel than I had anticipated (good thing). Need to grab 1/2" springs spacers to compensate for the springs dropping down.
Manual hubs fitted (my auto's self destructed)
Went offroading for the first time since I got it near Chilliwack with a bunch of other Safari's. If you look closely, you'll see the marker for advanced ATV trail.

Thanks & yep. I love this one. Hopefully I'll end up keeping it. I'm known to go through trucks like candy !
