Exactly right mate. An LSA in a patrol would be awesome out in the bush. Dont have the seat. Swapped them into my SS so I could sell that conplete

yeah mate the patrol is just awsome haha and cool on the seats just thought id ask

likeing the looks of this with the ncop side of it the weight to power ratio is more of a guideline than actual written in stone rules as the engineer has to work to adrs as well he can take into account brakes chasis modifications etc to make up for the lower weight but alas it is up to if the engineer is confortable signing it off because if the shit hits the fan it may bite him in the arse. the engineer who signed off my car had the opposite drama with a patrol with an lsa because he was concerned the car was to heavy for that size engine (patrol was previously engineered for a duramax) haha

on a side note cav have you still got the original ss seats from this and do you want to sell them at all

Ohh yeah much better than lean ive found with the itbs they like to run a little  rich anyway its just a little bit to rich for me at the moment

Drives great done almost 1000kms dumped the oil the other day trying to get to 2000km and throw it back on the dyno shes pretty  potent  under 2500 rpm its very civil but above that it just pulls very different  power delivery  to the old 5l clutch is a bit to get used to my fault because I went overkill with it lol plan at the moment  is to bed it in then back on the dyno  lean it out a bit tunes very  rich at the moment  thats about my only real issue other than that very happy
