i highly important update!

when driving to VIC/QLD its all about comfort

anyway

the 99 patrol TI is GONE......she has been upgraded to a 2004 Prado grande

anyway this is a major improvement for my fat arse comfort on those long drives to race tracks!

first toyota 4wd

i think i am gay~!

ill have this till the new patrol comes out with the vk 56 v8

then its time for a upgrade

patrol to prado is a downgrade, not an upgrade

disagree... salesman here at work used a patrol 4x4 turbo diesel to tow machines around... went through turbos like nothing else and eventually blew the engine... plus noisy and not very comfortable..

prado grande's are the shiz... not the best, .. like a 120ser v8 cruiser.. but pretty damn comfy and quiet.. grande is top notch... well done fatz.. just dont throw them around corners... they chew the outside of the tyres.. and 17" 4wd tyres arent cheap... and no you cannot put 16s on it.. sooo many tightarses have asked me if you can change the brakes and shit over to hilux stuff so you can put 15" hilux wheels on..

yea no complaints about the beast… it’s a massive hit with the soccer mums

Patrols are better towers, but the prado is nicer to drive

i would have got a 4.2 TD patrol but they are worth more jebus!

+ im getting used to the Prado's lifeless steering

:)

only other down side is all the electronics… in the patrol you would get bogged and get out of it by the age old Simpson’s technique of old fashioned flooring (shit loads of fun)… in the Prado the computers get to work so the car gets itself bogged, then the computers have a think, then some how it gets itself un-bogged (very weird feeling), the down hill decent control is shithouse. I even put it on wet grass and tried to turn the traction control off and do some wet grass circle work (well it is Bathurst weekend!) but no the computers said they didn’t like that and shut me down!

Having done 300km total in it now I consider myself an expert!!!! Best part is in the patrol I would have had to fill it up already (stupid gas)

Ive named it roger!, cause it’s a bit camp!

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
