Overall bucket of ****

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

Overall bucket of ****

Eveythings backwards, and I never could find reverse.

Overall bucket of ****

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

what is the most common prob on these little critters. found 3 of em in top nick. just want to know what to look out for

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....

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t 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 when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
