Went for a drive to Healesville today for a day out, we had massages and had lunch. While my Missus was having her massage, I went for a drive into the Yarra Ranges National Park and went on the first track I could find, which was the Dom Dom Creek Track.
It was very easy track with soft red mud with some wet spots. It was fun and a bit slippery going back up the hill.

Feel any difference mate... did you get round to fitting the winch??Originally Posted by Drewboyaus
Be marginal if anything at the moment, I haven't fitted the winch yet though.
I've got the winch apart and it's barely been used going by the look of it (or rebuilt previously). Going to give it a clean, grease it, seal 'er up and put a couple of breathers in before I fit it back up.
Might even replace the solenoids too.

Changed the fuel filter , and thought might as well clean the thimbal filter in the pump as well , turns out it has been removed time to order a new one tomorrow ,
If ya not using it buy a prius .....
Didn't do anything to it today, but noticed today after I fished oiled the roof the other day, the oil had seeped down the front windscreen channels and rubber section and down the rear window rubber sections. If anywhere needs corrosion protection it's these areas that don't really get anything. Oil is nice and tacky. Happy days!
Loosely wound the cable onto the winch so its not hanging around the garage, will do a proper spool on when time permits
Put a new turbo on it with the help of George. Well, he did it and I watched and learned really. Great guy, really!

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.
WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
Sounds just as it did before maybe the whistle is a bit higher. Goes heaps better. Just more driveable
