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....

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
