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:

    • 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)

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
