Is there any concensus on which pillar pods are better than others?Quote:

I think they are illegal on cars not 4x4, cant see why as by law now you need the GPS on the right hand side .
anyway sending a PM regarding pillar Pod
heres mine others have Autron $$$ good gauges and multi function as well
Thanks mate, this looks the goods!!!
Got your PM too re legalities etc. Appreciate the help
I have the same ones as threedogs, very happy with mine too.
Hi guys, been looking on alot about the 3.0 as they seem to suit my budget and only the GU series body style appeals to my, so im pretty set on a 3.0 engine, and i guess doin mods is always gonna b part of the plan anyways, regardless of what car/engine lol
So anyways, can someone break down what exactly is needed, or mods to prevent engine failure, i gather that once these preventative mods are done, the engine should last the life time, as it address the major concerns with engine failure, or catch it before it goes bang
From what ive read, so far it is:
-EGR block off
-Oil catch can setup
-Boost/exhaust temp gauges (Where is the temp sensor best location to mount it? Right on the dump pipe or before the cat?)
-Dawes and Needle Valve (This simply a boost control method to stop over boosting?)
-Larger Intercooler
Am i missing anything else?
cheers
Go to the manuals and software section and have a look at the Nissan Patrol reference document, it will tell you everything you will need to now.
Nah that's about it temp, sensor is about 100-150 after the turbo.
Intercooler should be ok but saying that if its oily its leaking, you could remove the IC and clean it with petrol or similar
make sure its dry before you install it. Pressure test it when it out, don't use compressed air , bike pump ok to see if leaking
For me the jury is out on a larger intercooler, do you get $800 worth of extra cooling[lower EGTs] over a tigged OE one, you decide
I think its $800 I could spend elsewhere, but that's just me
cheers guys, cant access the pdf as not enough post, but if that seems to be all the parts, than GU is the car im gonna end up with along with these mods.
I cant believe how much a off the shelf IC kit is!!! LOL... can prbs make my own kit for 1/3 the price and thermo fan setup, jesus, the guys selling these kits must b laughing with how much they sell em for haha, but agreed, id rather spend the extra money on better tyres or even a save up for a front locker
