Noone tried a turbo diesel KJ Jeep? In theory it ticks all the boxes except the five speed auto does not have a sports mode sequential shift. My problem is that what happens if it cracks up on the Newell? Stranded big time?

I'd like to know how/why, considering that under the skin they're effectively the same vehicle.

Exactly, Although I have heard lots more about tailshaft, driveline etc, turbo and electrical problems with the ToeRag's, but that probably just because they are more common?

q7 minor service 350 ( every 15000)

major service ( every 30k) 600 ( every 30000)

i change the oil evey 7500km costs $150

in the next week ill let you know how much gearbox and diff oils are

still waiting for teh engine to explode and it does some hard yards towing my POS

fingers crossed

their so shit ill be upgrading to the v8 tt to hall arse faster in 12 months

I never said they're shit you cranky sheet carnt. :P

I've towed using Q7 (R34 GTR) and Toureg (R32 and R34 GTR's), both V6 TDi, and I reckon they're a bloody fantastic tow machine!

However, the fact remains they scare the beejesus out of me post-warranty.

Me too...and I bought one out of warranty. :O Service in a few weeks, sphincter is tightening already.

I dare say that's something to do with it Timmay.

I also recall Capt Fathom's Q7 engine (3.0l TDi) exploding spectacularly while towing his car to Lonnie from Devonport..... still under warranty thankfully.

Was Bourkey driving it though??? Lol :ph34r:

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @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?
