Agreed. If you want accurate information, then you need to talk to the right people. This applies to asking on the forums... go direct to the source/appropriately qualified people or you will eventually end up getting burnt.

Have you considered producing equipment for the D22 at all??? Hope so, looks like some quality gear and it is nice when the money we outlay on our trucks stays in the country.

As Leprechaun said, I had a small extension made up that screwed onto the low range shifter and tapped the top to screw the knob back on. All that is stopping it from popping into low is the actual gear knob, lift it up 50mm as well and u'll be all sweet.

Looks good mate, glad ur happy with it.

I bought 90% of my new gear from FNB 4WD Supplies - We've Got Ya FNB 4WD Gear Right Here! I got some excellent service and the prices were more than reasonable compared to quotes I was getting in-store at various places.

I went the EFS 2" lift... if I could do it over I would def go the 3" kit!!!

Nice truck. Nissan should have made them that height from factory imo. I'd like to try and get another inch or two on mine but for the cost it ain't worth it. Look forward to seeing the next mod.

No anywhere special, but it was a beautiful drive from Port Augusta back to Adelaide. Can ya'll see it??? Linked from my Google+...

So I used the snorkel from the 3.0 Di. Here is a pic of the plumbing... passenger side looking to the forward. Bottom right of the pic shows the coal fuel canister. If your not worried about legalities, just take this out. Due to the plumbing, they had to move this towards the firewall around...

Cheers, it turned out to be an expensive exercise as I didn't have the tools, etc to fabricate the new mountings so I handed it off to a fabricator. I'll sum up what is involved best I can: -I bought the box with the round outlet on top, not sure which it is. -Cut off the catch tray and close...

Yep, I love my V6 but after all my recent mods I estimate I'm running at around 18l/100km compared to 15l/100km before (nearly stock). Look at the chips, for less than half the price of an average engine swap you might be pleasantly surprised.

If ur worried about fuel economy, do not go petrol!!! Have a look at some of the chips for ur diesel. Most people are getting upwards of 30% gains with better fuel economy.

Couldn't agree more!!! I figured I'd rather get my truck the way I wanted it asap so I could get better use from it now, instead of spending years slowly building it up. As it is, I'll still prob spend years doing things before I'll be completely happy.

Yeah, if you do opt to attempt this yourself be very careful around the hitch connection. Just remember, the more weld, the stronger the connection will be. You'll want at least 100mm of weld top and bottom (plus vertical welds) at the hitch connection. Thinking about it, you would prob need to...

Wouldn't be too hard to weld something up yourself if you had the equipment. But at a guess (based on various quotes I've had done), I'd say around the $800 mark from a fabricators. Prob be looking at half that DIY. If I understand your idea correctly, you might want to be careful with...

Since I'm planning on getting my body lift certified (at some point) I was advised that I need to leave the coal canister in the engine bay. So I'm having to move the 2nd battery into the tub. Then I'll prob look at adding a third battery after it's certified and I remove the canister. Just...

So I finally got it back last night. Still a few things to sort out, but it's essentially done. Will post some more pics and info after the weekend.

Been there before and probably be there again soon. Overheard some conversations that most of my team is going to be let go in the next week or two. Construction industry is going down the bog hole. Especially here in Adelaide, there is fuck all work here at the moment. Eastern states look much...

I already said they won't rub. Any bigger and you'll run into trouble. But even then it's a pretty easy job to sort out.
