It's not bad for a Girl Unit.
Nisshead, love the rig! Where did you get your Watchdog for the CRD from? Was thinking of getting a Scangauge for my 2011 but this Watchdog looks the business!

it is a good unit except when you have it set to metric units the boost is displayed in KPA which is a pain but you learn the reading pretty quick so no biggie.
Also the wiring needs 12v not like the scangauge.
Jump into the introduction section mate and tell us a bit about yourself.
Cheers
The rear bar is getting put on right now :) wooohooo
.........on the move
What sort of bar did you go for?
photos mate....Actually Ill be seeing it in 3 hours...LMAO
It's the raslarr engineering one... Pics soon
.........on the move

Thanks for the tips on the exhaust too. I went the chip and exhaust costs LOTS route and SWMBO was quite pleased with the comparative low cost of just the exhaust :)
Mind you, "quite pleased", is a relative term. It's not like she said "go buy it now" but there's room for hope :)
Hahaha, good work! better give beaudesert a call and order first thing in the morning before she changes her mind...lolQuote:

Very nice indeed! Happy to park next to her again but what of the windows??? I notice the pics cut them out??? Or are you not telling us something...
Awesome rig nisshead. Great build up.
Has given myself some ideas for when I search and find one of my own.
Might even be sooner now that I've seen what you've accomplished. Haha
Really looks fantastic

Oh thanks. I thought nads were for all zd30's.
Nice to know crd doesn't need them.
Ok, another quick mod. Just hooked up the 4" led reverse lights through a switch so I can use them as camp lights.
Legal as well so the lights come on in reverse even tho the switch is turned off.
