Now you can put the TB48 front calipers on. Then you will know what brakes are about. You will also require a racing harness fitted so you dont get whiplash. Lol.Quote:

We all know what it really is though.
Probably should do a better pic, the extra 20mm does make a difference.http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2017/10/30.jpg

I see you can buy Neg 44 rims also - I think @matfew has these on his rig? If I decide to go the 35" route these are probably going to be my choise as the rims sit way inside the panel, and since mine is not a 'twisty sister machine', these will work well.
I know that, how wide??Quote:

Wouldn't it be different if one is 7" and the other is 8". What's why I asked for the width of the rim.Quote:

Yeah but I know that his and mine are both 8" wide. I'll go measure the lip before I go to bed.Quote:

Around 90-100mm
Not the most accurate way of measuring but should be close enough to work it out. http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2017/10/33.jpg

Turning circle might be a bit less too, need to confirm that with more driving, would they have to put stops in with this mod?

The stops should be all there mate just like on the gq items. It will feel different due to geometry being different between gq and gu diffs. The heaviness you feel is a slower turn in but once turned will fee better. Apart from the width there is quite a bit of difference in king pin inclinationQuote:

What about steering box is that a GU one now? Might change steering feel too. I know after getting my new steering box felt different first time i drive it for some reason. It's still a GQ one but felt like more turns lock to lock? . .

Yep GU box as well.
