Your rig is looking good, Cuppa. I just have just shown the pictures to my Missus, and asked if we could get one the like it. She said yes, but after the kids have moved out.

My advice is: not to follow my advice.
Don't worry about giving it tickle up, it will handle it well.Originally Posted by Cuppa
3" exhaust is a possibility when the current one needs replacing but increasing the boost concerns me a bit in terms of reliability & longevity. This may well be a result of my ignorance about such things, but it is reassuring that in stock form I can take the car to any Nissan workshop & be reasonably confident that they know what they are doing. Start changing the basic parameters & this may no longer be the case. Not saying you're wrong, rather I'm inviting you to convince me as better fuel consumption/greater range is attractive.

Think of it this way Cuppa, my 89 GQ had a 3 inch exhaust, Safari Turbo Kit and android mod.....that was a long time ago. A long time to know if there are any problems.
I went all over Australia with that truck, and used to push it along up over 160 kph when i lived in the NT . ( Not for extended periods though, only for five or ten minutes at a time. There is no point going that fast in a Patrol )
GU PATROL 2011 Ti, with goodies...
well i have to say cuppa if your not happy with the rig now you can pack up and move back to england(from memory in another thread) because that looks the business now and am freaking jealous
Well an exhaust & a small tickle are looking more & more like a possibility & I certainly have no intention of moving back to England. Thanks everyone, this forum has provided me with much of the knowledge & motivation I've needed to get this far. And yes I am pleased with what I've done.
It really doesn't seem that long ago that I was asking whether I should buy this Patrol after I'd realised that buying the Troopy had been a mistake, but a lot of water has passed under the bridge since then.
I have even become comfortable with the fact that I'm not a 'hardcore' 4wd'er, but a 'tourer' & whilst having 4wd is important I don't feel any need to seek out 'gnarly stuff' for fun but am comfortable that we have a strong vehicle to get off the beaten track without falling to bits & which has the capability to get us through gnarly stuff if necessary.

Ps. What is an android mod?
