i have 11 leaf super stiff mine spec rear spring packs, i have no issues with round abouts... however, when i take corners fast (sometimes on purpose), my back inside tyre will usually lift off the ground haha. it once nearly lifted a foot off the ground, but i was trying to.

tyres are funny things... my stock 195R14 tyres held better in the rain then the set of cooper ATR 225/75R16's that i bought and put on the nav. in the wet changing through the gears, 1st, spin, 2nd, spin, 3rd was fine til the turbo kicked in about 20m down the road after getting traction in...

the reason i got told that extended shackles arent able to be approved/engineered is because when you use extended shackles you effectively put more load on the spring hangers when cornering as the gap between leaf spring and spring hanger is much bigger meaning that there is more twisting...

no offence, but maybe if you learnt to drive properly you wouldnt be sliding through all the round abouts in the wet... that or you need new tyres! i never had the issue of round about drifting/sliding? i only did when i tried to by putting my foot down. if you keep doing it even when going...

i'm sorry, i just dont see the point of lowered cars. there is no benefit from what i can see, even though you say handling, but if driving to the speeds then any car should handle properly.

also most lowered cars are deemed unsafe because most people are cheap, they just chop the springs or use crappy lowering blocks. also dropping a car very low, affects your geometry, aka, massive camber wear. which means the wheels arent flush/sitting correctly to the ground.

if your super low car got hit by a 4wd, he'd probably go straight over you... its better to hit things head on then try go under them

TODAYS THE DAY! REMEMBER, meeting 10AM @ THE REDROOSTER near the intesection of GREAT EASTERN HWY AND ROE HWY (big gravel spot right next to it) dont forget to bring your own food if you want more then just the bbq, and dont forget the sausage and buns tom! lol

saw a semi today towing those trailers full of cars and guess what i saw on the back? it was a d40... but with different stylings? on the d40's now, on the tailgate, you have that black plastic section near the middle top with the nissan logo. on this d40 it was a completely blank tailgate...

mate, i've done the WHOLE mundaring powerlines track in a 2wd navara with slightly bigger 225/75R16 tyres and stock lift. i only got bogged once in mud, i did the bonnet deep water crossing, and i got stuck at only 1 other point. you'll be fine! haha

you can do the track in 2wd, piece of piss lol

being a variable vane turbo on the d40's, i say it could be an electrical issue? but yeah, check for hoses first.

fk me ay! that sounds like some worrying and scary shit right there! never heard or seen them in WA, hope they stay the fk out too! hope you recover quick and well, sounds like a shit experience... at least IF there is a next time it shouldnt be as bad since your body has built up a slight...

the updated and most recent confirmed list, just had my mate with the terrano confirm then... CONFIRMED: Navara09 - d22 myself - 75 cruiser up n ova - d22 T.Griff - d22 mate with a troopy Mate of T.griff 1 Mate of T.griff 2

thats a lot of things to just go wrong just by filling it up at the servo lol least its being fixed quick

we are going there on the 12th of feb... its called the mundaring powerlines track, the most commonly known and used local track

i reckon its an electrical fault for it to instantly change from perfect to a no goer... always electronics causing us grief these days! and if it is the turbo, you'll probably be denied warranty for not following proper cooling down methods (even in my landcruiser manual from 1998 it says that...
