Got my first R51 about 4 years ago....It was all I could ask for in an SUV. Great for hauling my family around Nigeria when we had our holidays.

I got the Halo Lights (with HIDs in them), a back up sensor system and an Air Horn as the only extras.

Over time, and as my family grew (bigger girls!!!) I began finding the engine a bit lazy (being a biker didn't help either) and I started looking at geting the V8. So now, I am awaiting the arrival of my V8 (Bought in December) while I sold my first Pathy. Pictures below are of my first one. When the V* arrives I will post pictures of her too.

Did a lot of snooping around and have so many extras ordered already for the V*....can hardly wait!

Welcome. I have a 5.6L V8, but not sure if it's the same motor you will have. I love mine. What modifications have you already bought?

Oh yes...its the same engine. I am importing from the US.

Mods....Hmmmmmm

Long long list.....but I am having a 2" suspension lift using Ranchos (front and back), And ARB Bumper (i prefer the way the bumper intergrates with the body work), some Driving lamps, DURATEC tyres (set me back quite a lump!!!) 1" wheel Adapters (for the looks) Rock sliders and skid plates and some chrome for the bling!!! :wink: :roll:

Meanwhile deermjd has quite an impresive list of replacements. I owned my V6 for about 35,000 miles (from 30K to 65K) and during that time the only things I ever changed were the spider bearings for the propeller shafts. Great car she was.

Nice. Looks good. Talk about a long delivery. It would have sucked to wait that long. Can't wait to see what you do with the new Pathfinder.
