slightly off subject but......looking into updating my wife's car.

She wants the following.

*4WD(so we can go 4 wheel driving)

*Diesel

*7 seater....at least

*less than $20,000

So I came up with something for her.....I reckon it's hot.

They may be diesel but still not very economical. They use about 12L/100km in metro.

You should be able to get this for closer to $15000.

Lots of different options with these.

They are based on the Pajero and share lots of parts.

The only bad point is.........it is a Mitsubishi (Mitsushitty)

Thankz everyone for thier inputs!

Im still thinking which one to go for atm...But I got a smile on my face when i drive my stag every morning!

i like the new elgrand, it looks hot but then not sure if i gona pay extra for a bigger car..since bigger = harder to park..

Craig, the Delica is a good car...since it share alot of parts with the pajero means u will never have problems with parts either factory or after market..

but the problem with this car is they are too tall, they are like 2.2 meter up, and ur wife will find alot of problems trying to get into parking either under ground or at shoping centre,

my friend have one before he used to complaint to me all the time....

Since reading this thread I've seen at least 3 elgrands driving around in Brisbane.

Then I made the mistake of showing the mrs......now she wants 6 kids :thumbsup: (so that we can buy an elgrand...i told her just 4 would be enough to outgrow the stagea...but even so...we've only just had our first)

She still reckons the M35 is ugly but she thinks the elgrand looks great....?!

I dont mind the look of the elgrand, but the stagea is here to stay. Unless they make the elgrand awd & turbo or otherwise fit a VQ37HR into it...

El Grand is 4wd and some have a VQ35DE in them (E51) E50 commonly has a Turbo 4cyl in them with the VQ30 or VG33 in them.

I believe 4wd is an option, and from my (limited) reading, not a very common one? At least with the latest ones from the Nissan Hong Kong website, it specifically says front engine, RWD.

VQ30 is V6.

interestingly if they had a VQ30DD it would have more power than the VQ35DE. In my opinion the VQ35DE is the weakest part about it. They use the severely detuned 170kw version, not the 220+kw version that the 350z had (might be thinking of the VQ35HR but either way the VQ35DE is capable of 206kw & 360N-m).

indeed! i think the engines are identical, its probably just injectors and engine timing. besides all the manifold stuff.

but why do it to a FWD maxi?? its gonna torque steer its tits off!

lol... I was referring to the engine... not the car.

Having said that, have you driven a TRD Aurion? Stuff all torque steer there bud. Must have something to do with intelligent engineering...

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
