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!

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
