Just watched a video by a cyclone chaser and he basically said that the rainfall we're going to get over the next 3 days is going to be close to 1000ml.. meant to be 300ml today and tomorrow and friday.. Starting to get quite nervous about leaving my car parked in a potential flood zone and at my house which is the same story. Wish i had a garage fuuuuuuuuuu.

I'm over it already, pointless us being at work going to have no customers when it's pissing down rain. My backyard was almost flooded this morning lucky i had my car locked up in the garage at work overnight

My 2013 FJ Cruiser has been finally ordered won't be here March so time, have started ordering some parts for it. It will pretty much look like the yellow FJ below, except mine will be White and have slightly smaller tires. Can't wait to start tearing shit up. :yucky:

Coming soon:

- King Shocks 2-3" Lift

- Road Armour Bullbar

- Mickey Thompson Classic Lock II Black 17x9 Rims

- Mickey Thompson MTZ 285/70 R17 33" Tires

I'm actually looking at something smaller. Anyone got opinions of a Ford Kuga?

I know they are only a small SUV, but I just want a simple daily for now. They have the 5 cylinder turbo volvo motor in them, same as the XR5. 150kw and 300nm and AWD. Should easily hit over 200kw with an edit.

With a decent engine and AWD, I thought it might be a good setup.

and yes, I know Bennys FJ would probably run right over the top of it, lol.

Go for a Prado Jono.. 150 series (current model) a couple of years old with low km's is going to cost you mid 50's depending on the model. I would go for a GXL personally.

Keep in mind too a Toyota is going to hold it's value better than most other cars in the market and they are damn reliable. I have a few here at work mate.

Prado is the same chassis as the FJ Cruiser, same engine etc. and the FJ is 50K new. All other Toyota's are over priced and they come with f**k all features compared to other car makers, only paying for the name.

Shocks and Bullbar ordered now i'm broke :( not a bad way to spend 6K, still deciding on rims its a hard choice, i sent a email to USA for a Set of TRD Beadlock rims, and Transit Tyres in Mackay wanted $480 a tire for MT MTZ .... f**k that can get BFG Mud Terrains for Tirerack.com for $200 each.

I agree Ben, but i prefer the Prado interior probably the only thing i don't like about the FJ is the square windscreen doesn't feel like there's much vision out the front of the car but other than that i like them.

    • Did and sync timing with light 
    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.
