    STX 550 17inch rims what tyres

    Just thinking about it - it wasn't "easy" to hit 160+ in the 2.5 - but it is very easy in the 550....

    STX 550 17inch rims what tyres

    Gents, I think on the 550 - speed rating is possibly a BIG issue. I over took a few cars the other day, there was nothing ahead so, for a bit of extra fun, I left hammer down , as one does occasionally, and hit 160-170 km/h in no time. At that speed I would have been over the speed rating...

    Bash plates again...STX 550

    G'day Jayse V9X, I got the ARB Bullbar & OME on Friday - they goofed and put the wrong springs on - but they're being good about it they are sorting it out out. You have the same bull bar and a winch - so I was curious - which springs did you use and what lift did you get? Cheers.

    Bash plates again...STX 550

    Bully and OME are booked - but I have a 6 week wait ... :-( BTW - I have found the vibration that Nissan was using those dampers to to get rid of - but I won't, because you might then notice too and hate me for it .... I think it will be pretty easy retrofit the dampers if the vibration is...

    Bash plates again...STX 550

    Jase V9x, My plates are actually TJM, they were on my '06 D40 with an ARB bully and then the bully, plates, OME, HID modded Hella 4000s, winch & tyres were all transferred to my early '09 D40. But on those D40s, ARB supplied a plate from the chin of the bully to a light weight beam near the...

    Bash plates again...STX 550

    A2 The MFKA, How did you go with the old d40 plates on the 550. I kept my old plates too and was hoping to put them on my 550. I've just ordered the ARB bully was hoping to get them to fit the plates while they were doing the bully...

    Redback Exhaust fitted STX550 V9X motor

    Sterlo - I wonder whether there is no chanage to the lag - but it's just become more pronounced because there is more grunt when the boost comes on.. We've got a race data logger thingo we use for mining trucks - it does acceleration - so when I do my zaust I could do a before/after comparison...

    Redback Exhaust fitted STX550 V9X motor

    I'm pretty certain the cat is the enlarged section after the turbo and before the three bolt flange where the after-market exhaust starts. I'm pretty sure because the cat needs to be as near as possible to the engine, so it gets exhaust gases at their highest temp. The thing about the section...

    Redback Exhaust fitted STX550 V9X motor

    What do you guys think of this. It's true the DPF has been deleted for Australia. Well sort of. At least the DPF housing is still there, but they have deleted the 7th injector and the sensors. So the question then was does the DPF housing still contain the filter or is it just an empty DPF...

    STX 550 Chip upgrade

    Hey Big Trev. I'm picking up my 550 in the morning. Does the chip reduce the off-the-line "lag" much? How do you recon the trans is taking the extra grunt any worries? What are the other mods have made? Which chip did you use BTW? Sorry, lots of questions, eh.
