As per phone convo mate. Wheels are sold to me.

That'll buff out!

Nandos eats dick. the most overprice food on earth.

V6 pathfinder.

Towing a 33 with an xtrail is sheer folly. Actually you wont be towing, you'll be getting pushed. That combo will shunt like a mofo. I have towed damn near every day of my working life for the last 30 years with a wide array of vehicles. Going for something marginal is false economy. A 4 banger will die in no time flat, they simply work too hard to be a long term project. 4 patrols used to a minimum of 450 thousand kilomters with the sum total of repairs being one starter motor and the usual brake pads wearing out etc. The land cruiser is a more refined vehicle but not in the same ball park when it comes to longivity compared to the patty, transfer cases, clutches and gear boxs all fell to the work load. The pommy offerrings are just shit. I dont give a tinkers how refined or comfy a landy or a rangey may be they are farken worthless to me sitting in the workshop getting repaired. Current tow vehicle is the patrol with the twin overhead cam 4.8 litre in line 6 cylinder. Initially it was intolerable to live with the fuel useage but a decent header and exhaust system and an aftermarket ecu with a tune saw a good increase in useable power and a massive improvement in fuel economy. The torque of this engine is staggering. Nothing but nothing slows it down to any great degree. It just pulls and pulls. In the original op's situ I would look very closely at the navara/triton/ hilux range. all available with a 6 banger of some sort and all chassised strong vehicles that can take the long road.

Good work good price, got my cage done there. http://www.scottsrods.com.au/

both gone mate.

Does it chirp 2nd.

ZOMFG!....It's LA BOMBA

I think you may find its just hard to see. Mine has an outlet welded to the piping and so does any other I have looked at.

sorry mate i missed your post. No 10.25 is not the highest you can go. Once you do the solid lifter conversion you can use pretty much any cam a gtr can use. As for the turb, well, what can you say. It spools like shit off a shovel. Luvit.

You're a stirrin bastard Zeb.

It will have grip Steve. the tyres on it atm are just some nankangs that we use for the dyno Track spec is going to be something entirely different. I have to give credit to Marty White for the job he did on the head. It looks like bugger all but as he said, watch it spool. And boy! does it spool.

pulled up at 555 hp, I now officially belong in this thread, Cams havnt been touched yet and still shitloads more but enough is enough. I am happy. Huge thanks to Dan of ERD fame for his herculian effort to get the fuel setup operational in time and to Sean of EFI for more of his magic. Will post up a pic of the graph later this evening.

Too much power aint quite enough Simon.

Great ad. would read again

The car smells like North qld at harvest time. The power delivery is just brutal. 1st 2nd and third may as well not exist. 4th is squirrelly as all fark and 5th just holds on. Time for some new semi's. And it aint over yet. More tuning this arvo.

Hell yeah, they look sweet dave.

f**k yeah! the chair comes home this evenin. happy in the pants.

I'm hedging my bets on a split pulse setup. I wont change the cams. for the reason you mentioned, If the split pulse setup can keep the response roughly where it is and give us another 50/60 ponies it will be more than enough to scare the crap out of this old man.

Agreed mike, As you know that has always been the goal. I am stoked with the result. We knew after the last go round that the turb would hold us back , the 35r has its limitations with the smaller housing but it has made the path a lot clearer for us now.

Nice to see the good guys win for a change. Well done mate.

We changed a fair bit Jez, Its a new head and a new fuel system running e85. Its a work in progress and the goal is to hit the track next year with a fat 550/600 hp with the emphasis on fat. Piss easy to get that power with a bigger turbo but that isnt what I'm after. The power chase will have to go on the back burner for a while now as I have too much other shit to do to the car. In the mean time we will explore turbo options, I'm thinking a split pulse 1.06 rear housing for the 35r or possibly even a twin setup.

Not on this dyno titeman.

I havnt seen the graph yet Mike but we didnt quite make it to 400 kw. We did achieve everywhere else tho. Itys boosting hard and early and has shitloads more power under the graph. Will get the before and after graph posted up tomorrow when I head over to the workshop. Apparently we have run out of turbo so i guess the 1.06 housing is the next step. And 380 somethin kw's was the number.
