Sup kents....

I'm back from QLD, where I managed to enter a competition called "Move in front of the car sitting on my rear quarter so I can merge before my lane ends"

I won the game.

The judges of the competition were QLD Police officers with hand held laser beams, pew pew!

Pulled into a side street and given my prize. 71 in a 60.

Jointly bitched with them about how crappy Hyundai i30's are to drive.

Was doing 74 but they knocked it into the lower bracket because I was "extremely cooperative" :P

Any idea what I can expect in the way of demerits? There's nothing listed on the notice about demerits... Does QLD not have points for low range speeding? Which means that nothing gets added to my Vic points down here?

Also, QLD is living in the 90's... the only way to pay is "In Person" or "By Mail (Cheque or Bank Cheque)" *sigh* sif no BPAY option

My SA speeding fine never carried demerits over to VIC, it's not to say it can't though.

already buying thermal wear......Apparently it's pretty cold in Shanghai in Feb

Data of Shanghai Weather in February:

Average Temperature: 6C / 43F

Average High Temperature: 8C / 46F

Average Low Temperature: 2C / 36F

Average Humidity: 72%

Average Rainfall: 44 mm / 7 days

Time of Sunrise: 06:22 ~ 06:47

Time of Sunset: 17:29 ~ 17:52

Well at least the fireworks for Chinese New Year will keep me warm somewhat :P

What's a tuff/reliable 80s/90s 4x4 preferably 2 door?

Budget ~$3k might stretch for something extra clean/lower mileage

Any suggestions?

2 door patrol/maverick

Hilux surf?

Pathfinder/Terrano

Patrol MK/MQ/GQ shorty

Suzuki Sierra

Landcruiser, F/BJ40 or 73/74

Daihastu Fezora/Rocky

Isuzu MU (rare thou)

These are off my head at the moment.

bit more honest,

Landrover defender

Cheap, yes, not sure if they're that reliable...

If you're brave, worth look into discovery.

Also another good option, Mitsubishi Pajero

defenders are pretty reliable as there sfa to them, a very simple car and the engine been aroundsince the dark ages.

a disco on the other hand, lots of electrics to go wrong (where Landrover is known for issues)

another option no-one mentioned yet and a little out of left field

Jeep Wrangler.

Convertible cool at that..

true

5-6K starting, but that nearer 2000 not 80's plus low km.

personally of the low I would be going for a 2Door Patrol best of the lot and soo many parts for them

that said a FJ70 is a great car, but they all have 250K+ km now

Currently debating whether to buy landcruiser lately.

One day I want a 60 series, next day saw a 40 series (proper oldie not the modern take) and decide I want this instead.

So many wants, not a whole lot of money... Typical of me!

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
