You will not pull chicks, even with the convertible model.

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.

PROS

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....

    • 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.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
