Re: Easy Difflock check/test ?

Hi Gents, For Some reason ,I can recall having been told that the difflock on the newer models only engages in low range, it will flicker in high and 4x2. I have a 06 grx and I "think" this is indeed the case. However , I did have a vacuum pump issue which nissan quoted a discounted price ...

Re: 4.8 M/Terrains

Great,
Thanks For them feedback, I was thinking of 3 bar on the tar.
TyreShop reckons 2.4 but this is too low in my opinion.
What diameter exhaust have you got fitted?

So they're fitted,
AndThey look great in my opinion.
A slight whine on them highway, not overbearing, ride feels good, got a slight lift
