    Talking what to do about my suspension

    the problem springs and shocks seem like there setup for touring rear heavy load and I'm a light packer so a little bump isn't so little in my car not liking it at all its like an oversized go-kart an epic oversized go-kart of awesome-ness and pain!!! and now for the problem I don't have a lot of money to spend and only need a fix for a year

    I bort my awesome Nissan 2-3 weeks ago and I went for a little trip to baw baw to sheack the snow as you do and it became apparent its epic'tly awesome around corner and even managed to Understear it so awesomely, but I got air off pot holes

    current shocks enforcer big bore shocks? and springs looks to be I OK condition dont know whos the manufacturer

    The last kit by Dobinson is the winner mate otherwise the Suspension stuff kit is a good price. I'd steer clear of the Blupac as just another Chinese junk brand like Ironman, probably made in the same factory.
    Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!! ....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    I'm running blupac kit the shocks are blupac and the springs are lovells I really don't mind them in my opinion people have gotta try new brands to see what they are like other than just saying stick to the popular brands because everybody has them I'll let ya know how they go in a few months

    thanks healy need a some one its nice to have some one being a little more positive about the brands but I sure for a extreme 4x4 point of view MudRunnerTD is talking from a lot of experience but the a super cheap sock set up is what I'm looking for cos I only need it to work for a year and I wont be doing much or any proper 4x4ing till I get my 2nd p's and a better job then I'll go all out and get a big 4"-7" until then i'll props just do some miner mods can't wait though

    I think that's the brake proportioning valve. Changes the amount of rear braking depending on the weight in the rear of the vehicle.....more weight = more breaking
