just bought a gu

Post by sld86 »

springs, shocks and body lift should all fit on the GU, i dont think the front panhards are interchangeable though.

I'm not sure you can bodylift a GU with airbags, there's been heaps of discussion about it with regards to getting it engineered. I suppose if you weren't worried about rego or insurance it is possible, leagle is another question though.

Good point, i thought about that when i replied, but i wasnt sure which GUs had airbags and which didnt. did all GUs come with air bags or just the up spec models?

most would know that, but not all, those of us that frequent this board and regularly modifiy things would know that. but hey he might be a newbie and not real clued up on all things nissan. it was a reasonable question, he just wanted some answers. which some of us have tried to provide. im actually quite surprised your replies havent been deleted. seems the mods arent as keen as they used to be. this section is for tech questions and answers. not for padding and posting crap replies that you think are funny :roll: if you cant at least offer some kind of reasonable answer, piss off back to chit chat section. :finger: , some people use this board to try and get answers to technical Qs that we need info about. i for one have gained heaps of info from this forum. its replies like yours that shit people which is what causes people with good tech advice not to visit the site anymore.
