New daily drive is currently this -

lePotGb.jpg

Believe it or not, when the 34 is finished on the dyno it will go back to my daily and this will be driven by Carmen or just sit in the shed waiting for the weekend :D

Fk that for a daily - not because its not a nice vehicle to drive but the petrol consumption is ridiculous!

Father in law has a petrol (booo!) 80, its gotta be up around 25lts/100km.

Depends what you like. I'd prefer concavity though, but that's just me ..

Get some CE28's! XXR are too over done, plenty of evo's around my area running this setup.

Got a mate selling a nice set of EVO rims, i could get details if needed.....

Turbo Diesel man! So far i have done 600kms and am still on the first fuel tank, still have the reserve tank to go. Previous owner said around 900km on town driving and 1200km+ on highway.....

Its better than my 34 :P It drinks more alcohol than i do............ Well............ Nearly haha

gimmie gimmie l/100kms figure when you figure out numbers. very keen to know

the newer TD Prado are quoted at around 8.5l combined. I know its 3.0 4cly compared to a 4.5 (4.2D?) 6cyl but in the end same end purpose of vehicle

Will be hard to work out exactly as the speedo is out :P I am working roughly on the % at the moment..... I can let you know how many L it used on a trip to VIC in a fortnight!

I'm sure Tez already has some Ralliart items lined up in his garage :P

Haha! Nice!

Thanks again you two!

The car still has to be complied; so I haven't driven it yet - even with trade plates.

Engine modifications are likely - but without going silly.

Cosmetic mods will be rims.

Thinking of getting a concave look with slim spokes like XXR-527 or ADVAN RS. Any opinions on those in 18x9.5 +20 or thereabouts?

Looking forward to see it :)

Google maps the distance, figure out the fuel L's used... carry the 1's and such.

Or get that speedo fixed. Assume its the massive penis extension tyres that have thrown it out?

Yep can work that out easily enough!

The speedo seems to be sitting below the 0 mark and stays that far out the whole way! Surely the tyres are making it out a bit yes BUT to 20km/h haha

And the owner did throw in another set of rims and tyres too, but its a part of the fun driving around in a mini monster truck :P

Ye older landcruisers and patrols are aweomse! Built like tanks and can take a lot of punishment.

Don't build cars like that anymore.

Fuel is a small price to pay really when driving 2+ tonnes of "get the hell out of my way" haha!

Lol, so far its proving to be pretty good on fuel! 2 weeks of DD and i am still on the first tank and that included a 4hr drive on Saturday exploring the coast! :D

They seem to be built pretty tough and people tend to move for it haha!

My only complaint with it is the window tint at night, cant see a farken thing! Looks awesome and is nice and private for day use but night time is a bit annoying!

Well that ain't bad at all!

And I guess changing the tint isn't too harsh of a mod really cause you need to see where you are parking at night ay.

Going to drive it to VIC and will be at night, will decide then what to do... It should be a comfy trip from my impressions so far! It's so quiet even though it had a straight through 3" exhaust.... I'll admit, it sounds like a tug boat at idle though lol

Haha yeh that's one of my little things with the diesels. Would pick the petrols for that reason although you instantly lose with the fuel ay. But i still love those sub tanks!

    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
