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.

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
