New or second hand Rim?

Hilux if you can afford it over a Navara, they hold their value much better than any of the other utilities. But don't get anything less than a 3 litre diese Hiluxl...the 2.8 diesels and 2.4 petrol etc. have piss weak gearboxes and are all flogged out on the second hand market. People expect way too much from them.

Navara D22 turbo diesel is a nice car to drive and has good pulling power but the gearboxes aren't up to the task and a mate who worked at Nissan HQ in customer complaints, reckons the most common complaint he dealt with was the clutch wearing out on newish Navaras...pretty easily dismissed by warranty, as it's a driver input...

He had some funny stories lol, people calling up with 10 year old cars wanting things replaced under warranty.

Kadz is actually a nice dude irl ham, epic trolol

Mohson stated this, it has no value.

No, he's just too much of a pussy to act like he does on here

endorsement from moh ain't carrying much weight lets be honest..

Navara or Hilux?

Hilux! Known a few people in the motorcycle industry who have had a Navara then changed to a Hilux. Everyone I know who has had a Hilux has loved it, so much fun and never any issues, even the abused ones.

Ranger isn't going to sell in USA (the aussie designed one). I'm guessing that photo above is just some photoshop from ford before the final model releases or something. Cause the wild track looks a bit different to that thing above.

Thought Ranger is Thailand built like Toyota Hilux, Holden Colorado/Isuzu D-max?

Now where in my post did i say it was built in Australia?

" Ford’s new Ranger, which has been designed, engineered and tested here in Australia, is about to give a rude wake-up call to its major rivals. With class leading towing capacity, car-like interior, advanced powertrain and transmission packages, and superior safety, Ford has a sure winner in its stable. "

do you like race bikes for a living ?

Was that at me? If by 'living' you mean at a great financial expense. Then yes, yes I do :thumbsup:

Hopefully one day I will experience the perks of sponsorship/race team.

If I ever live in the US, even if only for six months, I'm getting one of these:

    • 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)
