Take one for a test drive if you can....there's alot of models available from a 2.5lt NA, 2,5lt Turbo, 2.5lt Diesel, 3lt NA, 3.5lt NA. You will find that the 2.5lt Turbo's is fairly easly to get a hold of.....206kw and 410nm's....so there enough power there. If your really interested you should have a look to see wether you can get a brochure off ebay or something. Inside the car is something again....the Japs get everthing....dvd, tv, sat nav(these all need converting though)....see pictures.

P.S. If you are doing and import make sure you talk to a compliance place before purchase(don't go above a 2003 model...might also find you can only do the 2.5lt turbo)

do a search for autech axis : all will be revealed there :P

there was a recent thread about a 2004 model stagea but i think the issue was the year it was manufactured - since ADR laws changed in late '03 or early '04 or something...

I too would be interested to find out if the VQ25DET powered stageas up to and including 2003 models are elligible for compliance here.

Didn't the VQ25DET come out on the 2001 stageas? Do you know if 2001-2003 models (earlier than 11/03) are compliancable?

Even though the car might be exactly the same under the skin, etc. right through from 2001 through to 2004, the ADR's work on build date, regardless of the fact that the car has not significantly changed at all. This is why they're stuck with trying (and failing) to comply with ADR79 - the rules changed at the beginning of 2004, and emission laws became a lot tougher.

bottom left of engine just in front of passenger footwell

very awkward to extract it's an engine out job as I've just found out

pays to keep an eagle eye on the air filter

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
