Eveythings backwards, and I never could find reverse.

Lots of vibrating, ie after a long drive, your feet will tingle for ages once youve stopped.

Aerials will improve the exterior.

Stickers will improve the exterior.

Go for a 'real' 4wd such as the Landrover Discovery or the old school Toyota Landcruiser crew cab with the tray or tub rear.

well.. for about 2 years i have been ppondering to get a lada niva. i think its that time. i have been driving zee german cars for too many years, and not like i can go into mud etc with a 2 tonne mercedes. this is more directly aimed at jamezilla

HAHAHA marko you didnt have a hilux you had a 4runner with the smallest MOTOR you could get in it HAHA like a 2.4d

Get a real hilux or landcrus but yeah SWB 4wd be nice

i have been looking at getting a 4wd to use in the bush and for towing but got my dads so just buying a POS day to day car that the family can use

Yes, go with a Patrol.....

Apparently there is a whole cottage industry that fits Patrol drivelines into Land Cruisers and HiLux/4Runner/Surf. They will even replace Toyota independent front suspension with Nissan live axle....

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
