thinking of just getting a tuff looking hilux or similar 4x4 for both work and everything else. new sr5's are too damn expensive!

i want the full off road look (flood lights, massive tyres, lifs, bars etc) but still have decent space in the back and not cost over 30k...

older model hilux/patrols are still nice

other suggestions?

We'll if your getting a car for work. You could salary sacrifice and not pay FBT Tax depending on your choice of vehicle.

Just sayin

I need a payrise, this whole train shit to the city is annoying

momo just put a big turbo engine in and drift teh f**ker :D

Nah gonna be a nice cruiser with a bit of punch.

Got some dudes coming to see the 34 this week so fingers crossed I'll have a half cut I can pull some bits off soon,

wtf else is there lol

Haha they are all decent cars, but just commenting from a gearbox point of view. Problem with the utilities is people expect too much from them and treat them like 4WDs = break easy. Um...Holden Rodeo? lol

The Navaras are quite nice overall.

Thought 27k would be illegal these days

Must've been + commissions surely?

yeh plus commision after 3 months probation.

dont you sign a contract saying salary? Surely in the contract it would mention the 6month stuff?? if it didnt, isnt it possible to take them to court over misleading info?

thats how i found out. the contract was in the first day, and i questioned the lady about it and said what is this.. she said it shouldve been explained to you etc..

Cool, don't forget to change the oil at 1000km and sort out your clutch drag.

clutch drag is sorted.. there was (surprisingly) too much travel with the SS shaft I used. put the old one back.. made some adjustments to the pedal.. its all perfect now.

Indeed. Rodeos are too small

New colorados coming soon should be interesting

The volkswagon utes are nice amarock or whatever

ya but 60K...

if you looking 25K

Check a Turbo D Bravo, they were most comfortable to drive in my books

the hilux is unbreakable but to get it to that stage they are very agricultural (but being on a farm that was fine)

older rodeos are ok, older navaras not so much newer hell yes but your paying for that as well.

ford courier..forget it

triton, ugly as hell..

all ones I drove were 98-04ish models either diesel or TD.

60k fk me thats a fair bit, i wouldnt have a clue just sayin they look nice.

Yeah my old man went in to check them out thinking of trading the hilux.

they did end up with the new tiguran for the old lady tho instead.

    • 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)
