BMW M57 to GU Patrol Conversion - Part 2

[@trickster8635]

I know it is after the fact, but a shame you didn't retain the auto especially for towing. Some nice adaptor kits from 6HP/8HP auto's to Nissan transfer off the shelf in UK. I will be looking to do the 8 speed with the M57 in my GU. Kudo's for taking it on. Cheers.

Thanks Trickster Nath was keen as to use 6hp but the donor vehicle ended up having auto issues so he kept the manual. Would have been 😎 🆒️

What’s the suspension set up on the silver patrol? I have the exact same car and looks good!

[@standinoffroad]

Hi Dan, think it's 2in rear 3in front, but I'll ask nath to confirm it 👍🏻👍🏻

2” Dobinson front and rear 1” spacers in the rear With big bore Ironman foam cell shocks sits Awesome and levels-out when loaded and towing the van👊😎👍 putting extended break lines on and extending rear break bracket shortly
