If you can't afford it. Why are you buying it?

I can afford it, but it's like anything. You get a car, then you wanna' do $10k worth of mods because who wants a standard car? haha!

Exactly, I’m having to wait to do more as money doesn’t seem to grow on trees for me either!

Looking at all the upgrades and wondering how I'm gonna' afford it.

Will probably need to take it to see Corey to and sort out some rarios for better cruising speeds/revs. Fkn diesels.


Think mine sits on 1750 @110kmh which seems ok but it’s got the new 6 speed auto

Haha, maybe!

Some stuff is interesting, but yeah, a lot of nuffies around, I notice most of them own dual cab utes though.

3 speed auto, top speed of ~115 km/h :4_joy:

Hope it’s not a POOTROL the 3ltr is a shit box

 

HAHAHA! Nah, that ZD30 is the worst!

Only Patrol I'd own is a coil/coil ute with the 4.2L? petrol. In South Africa they came with a well body tray which is pretty rad.

Edit: Or a Y62, ugly on the outside but what a motor and interior!

But it would still get an LS swap right?

Because that would seriously rustle some jimmy's.

 

I do enjoy rustling jimmys, supercharged 1UZ?

Your a weirdo.

Is it a lada niva?

 

seconded

 

Also, at the risk of showing my age, I actually test drove one of the first Lada Niva's in WA, back when their stealership was on Murray st in the city.
At the time I was driving a gemini with rust holes that I could fit my head through, and a 13.8:1 CR with stupidly inappropriate cam.
The drive home was still quieter and more comfortable than the test drive.

PS - Hai Kunce!

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
