just do it fatz. then you can track that too.

you wouldnt...

the porkas steer very well would be brutal on tyre costs

My concern with the 2nd hand Euro stuff is parts prices.

ones with factory warrenty can be extended to 8 years and 200k so not a problem

Pete doesnt want the Turbo Cayenne to tow with...he wants to put the running gear in an R31 :whistling:

good idea

Can't go past a towrag, got two (TD) in my garage and both are just brilliant for towing.

Not overly expensive for servicing etc either although I haven't had to replace much as yet...

td rag is on the shortlist

really need to organis test drives with the race car trailer on the back

^^^^^ lol I have the just superseded one and it's great.

Lots of one eyed folks here though lol

Mine has cost me $68 in repairs in 80,000klm, runs low 14's on qtr, high 6's to 100, and the Hemi sounds great.

Brand new ones are very very good value too, but there is a wait, people are realizing.

Would buy another, but mine looks and feels new.

My new Diesel Grand Cherokee is being delivered on Saturday morning. The new GC is quite a different beast with a new motor and vastly improved build quality with Fiat ownership.

The new diesel is an unknown quantity.

I'm happy to discuss the pros and cons of each model, but Jeep Garage is likely a more appropriate forum ;)

Yeah, you're right.... just pro-actively bragging about my new tow car!!

were talking about gliders in a thread about high-flow turbos over in the FI section.

My uncle has a few year old Grand Cherokee, pull the bike/boat trailers like a boss. he picked it up cheap too.

So its something I'm considering down the track, because im not a shmancy flamin mongrel like fatz

Personally, as much as I like the thought of a Cayenne turbo, mentally I can't stomach paying silly money for what is becoming an old car done a hundred plus.

Non turbo ones aren't as quick as my shitter jeep.

Seriously though, the newly released Jeep is unbeatable value, and shares HEAPS with the yet to be released new ML Merc.

cool cool, so the one my uncle has is the 4.7 then.

They also came out with a High Output motor - better for acceleration in towing (which mine lacked), but still asking a premium on the 2nd hand market.

Very cheap for a standard V8, but careful of the maintenance - that's what caused me to sell mine (there are many people that had a dream run too).

For what it's worth I have Audi Q7 TDI, 176 kw/550nm towing GTR 34 / trailer all up 2100kg does it easy

Also have VW Touareg V10 TDI 230kw/750nm towing horse trailer all up 3200kg does it unstressed. Pardon the pun, horses for courses. Have driven new Jeep CRD, motor ok but not up to Audi/Porsche/VW TDI in terms of smoothness, low noise and economy.

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
