If I have one more issue with this car I am fair dinkum going to park it on the side of the road, soak it in fuel, flick a match at it and walk away
Todays issue-
After trying Lovell shocks and found them to be unsuitable I cast them aside and fitted Old Man Emu Nitro Charger shocks. More $$.
One of the front shocks failed Anzac weekend (1500km old) and has been driving me nuts since then. I got the go ahead from ARB to remove the dodgy shock and bring it to them as they were unable to fit me in to do it themselves. So pulled it out just now and found that the diameter of the shock body is too large and contacts the upper control arm at full compression. This has dented the body and obviously caused the valving inside to fail. So more ~!@#$%^ about on warranty work ----Its just absolutely doing my head in that nothing will go right!!!!
Goes for another service next week and I still have to follow up the issue with my passenger door, whining diff, dodgy front end, sloppy steering box and now intermittent power steering failure.
Gets new torsion bars tomorrow too $$$
I ~!@#$%^ hate this car!

to Brett at 4x4 Obsession in Melton. $355 fitted and done in 2 hours. Upon removal of the originals they found 2 of the 4 nuts that hold one of the bars to the control arm were stripped from the factory, fortunately the studs were ok but still poor form from Nissan as they were essentially doing nothing. THE TORSION BARS HAVE MADE THE BIGGEST IMPROVEMENT TO THIS VEHICLE TO DATE. I am somewhat happier today. It has also made the steering a bit more positive however there is still the play in the steering box that will be attended to next week.
