Bruce got muzzled today... in went a high flow muffler from the states to make those long trip easier on the brain.
Also mudski supplied some goodies including the larger vacuum canister and a new cap for my power steering.. happy days.
So many will be disappointed that5 bruce no longer makes fully sick noises and does not sound as tough but these long trips were killing me.
Thank you very much to mudski and George for all your help...
Anytime baby cakes!

It would make defogging easier to deal with though.
Heading out to orienteering this morning so get to test drive the car properly and see how quiet it really is.
It has lost a bit of punch and if I had the cash I would almost want to see what difference it has made on the dyno?
Random question, tried searching, which clutch slave cylinder/pushrod did you use? I have in my head that they are different lenths.
Thanks!
GO HARD OR GO HOME!!!

Well after this latest trip to Licola I have had a few things happen to Bruce including ..... Broken engine mount (left side but have not checked right yet)leaking clutch master, Panhard bush (bloody hard to get home with violent shakes) and now there is a lot of vibration and the car is not smooth to drive.. the clutch I think got some shit in it from the first deep crossing.
Also the radius arm bushes on the left side were starting to knock and after this trip are moving a lot.
Funny as this trip was not tough but seems to have taken its toll.
stupid question but i ahve done this and the vibration was quite specific. Have you unlocked your hubs? even in 2wd with the hubs locked your front end will be dragging around. Quite a bit of vibration is created, like a hummmm or buzz. drove me nuts until i figured it out.
Did you fit New engine mounts when you installed the engine? they are less than 5000kms old?
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.
