upgraded from the gq yesterday it had a major bottom end problem from a little to mutch boost only bout 20psi lol. anyway it had a 4'' suspension lift with 2in body and wondering if i can change the parts over onto the gu.ps there both coil front and rear gu is a 04gu111 st. one thing i have found is that power is lacking even for a stock 4.2td intercooled will exhuast and tune help this, also mtq have told me there putting ball bearing turbos on them has anyone done this??

your asking if you can swap the parts over? i hope your not doing this by yourself? its a massive job to put GQ gear into a GU

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

nah, GQ springs wont fit, you need to change the headlight fluid if you want to do that

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
if you cant at least offer some kind of reasonable answer, piss off back to chit chat section.
, 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.
