Re: d40 advice

Depends on what you want to do with it. If you are after a 4wd for anything more than very mild offroad I wouldn't bother. If you want a comfortable, powerful road car that can take you up the beach and mild offroad tracks they are good. Heaps available suspension wise. Heaps of engine mods ...

prob not without re designing the rear suspension. It is just how nissans are, a lot of anti squat. Longer lowers (ie superior long arm kit) will help a lot.

Re: Polyairs and effect on full flex????

Very very good point about bracing the coil mounts. It is not a matter of if they will bend and eventually break but when. Heavy gu's with airbag helpers seem to be the main culprit too. I am sorry I do not know the price of the sleeves. I think they are only relatively new I only seen one set ...

Re: Polyairs and effect on full flex????

From experience (with the coil helper type bags inside the coil) they will not have any major effect on flex if set up correctly, especially with a lot of weight on board. It is not a lot different to running light coils in a light car and heavy coils in a heavy car. Generally the heavy car will out ...

After being down a similar road I would suggest you stop now and keep saving for a turbo.

105 front callipers have larger pistons...on same discs...bolting them on makes for better brakes...
Can anyone confirm this works? We have a troopy that is in desperate need of some better brakes.

The rear disk idea is a good one too if it works.
