Sent off my import registration and tax forms. Couldn’t have done it without the forum guide!!
Yeah they feel a lot better thanks Richard and they are a quality hard wearing tyre too as well as a great all rounder in all road and weather conditions. I'm getting there.
Had my new set of 245/45/R19 Maxxis VS-01 tyres fitted today along with the set of Red alloy gators. I have to say the ride quality is a lot better and they look great. Total bill was £528 all in as he gave me some discount off it all.
My old tyres were a set of Falken's with 245/40/R 19 rubber and the age date on them all were week 44 of 2011 so I think they did well. There were bad cracks inbetween the treads so I am glad ive had them done and also glkad ive gone up 1 side wall profile for a tad extra ride comfort.
Cruise control being fitted Tuesday morning.
I will take a piView attachment 2366View attachment 2367View attachment 2368View attachment 2369
TBH Richard I am not really a fan of the stuff as it always ends up being sprayed on to the bodywork as you drive along. Residue that is. However just for you I will apply some later.Just needs some tyre black @Brendan1969 to finish her off!
I will use up what I have first buddy before I buy anymore.@Brendan1969 try Meguiar Tyre dressing this stuff is amazing and does not spray off onto the bodywork:

Big day today for mine. Taking her to have her new Cruise control kit fitted. Fingers crossed all will be well later today.View attachment 2409 Well its all fitted and working a treat finally. LOL. Took nearly 3 hours in total with a tea and bacon roll break so lets say 2 hours. Cost me £80 to have it fitted and at the same time he REMOVED a lot of the redundant wiring lurking underneath the dash panels which used to power the toll jobbies they use in Japan. The guy I used ( Alex ) is a JAP car enthusiast too and knows all about Jap wiring and how they add to it over the years with all sorts of electrical gizmo's so he was no stranger to spaghetti junction under there. LOL.
It does not bother me either that the controls are full black in colour. Its just the way it came and I am happy to live with it OR I could maybe just apply some cream coloured wrap over the 2 flat bits which should be coloured like my audio control side switches on the LHS of the steering wheel.
Took her for a test drive and it all works perfectly and he enjoyed fitting it too as he did say it was very easy and the full colour instructions were excellent and easy to follow ( For him yes ) NOT ME!!!!!!! LOL.
Apart from looking at having mine " chipped " or what ever some call it I am pretty much there now albeit ive just booked my valeter guy for all day next Tuesday for a full valet and machine polish and wax so I can see just how good she is before I decide weather to have full ceramic paint protection applied.
Been told to expect up to two weeks. Itching to get out and play!Hi, I sent my papers Friday too...any idea what their response time is ?

I bought the OEM Nissan kit specifically for the Elgrand and as per the picture I posted in this thread on the last page. My total costs including shipping and having it fitted were £460 which for a Proper Nissan kit is excellent. I bought it off a company in Australia who supply them. Mike Sandham is his name and I will get you the details if you like.Brilliant mod, do you mind me asking which cruise control kit you purchsed and where from?, would love to do the same to ours
