Even mid 11 isn't usable on the street for a rwd car, as soon as you give it anything in 3rd or below you are doing power skids.

 

Pretty much, although I found traction a lot worst with similar power in a skyline than my falcon (probably the less weight and stiffer chassis)

250awkw with a cooler zort and tune wow. How does the DSG hold up
 
Should have bought the wife a Golf R not an Evo X


Not sure about the dsg, the dry clutch 7 speed boxes aren't known for their reliability but the 6 speed wet clutches seem to go ok, but I'm not sure how they go at that power level.

yeah I have, big fat NT05s with massive sidewall lol 

still liked to get squirly 

Gooby pls

NT05 is not a real decent tyre

It's a budget summer/dry tyre and they are okay for the price

If you want traction put something softer on like proper semis or MT streets


You never know, resale might be better with the Mitsu in a few years...

Probably will be. Can't exactly buy a new one and there's no current known plans to release a new one.

It was a solid option for an affordable ready to go track toy.

Pajero? Only came in petrol and aren't produced anymore... And you call yourself a country boy.

 

Nope came in diesel too and still available new. It's just the same car since 2006... And rumoured be replaced by a rebadged Nissan offshoot.

 

 

I did update that very quickly, like b4 your response.

 

mixed up the UTE and SUV.

 

done 100's of ks in a navara and it's a nice place to be (for a ute) 

drove Hilux's for years and they were so cramped and uncomfortable would never do it again.

If I had the money / space I would buy a Ranger, would be great for going out bush and throwing bike on the back. 

Current car tows fine but gets a bit slow and harsh when going on some of those dirt roads to the tracks.. #firstworldproblem 

I got no problems with hiluxs. just needs 5 or 6 gears and wider tyres than 205.

I've seen enough Ford Ranger engines explode to put me off them... dont know how the new platforms differ from the old, but considering how well theyre selling, might it aint so bad. I'd still take a new hilux over it though. Lexus and hilux are probably the only toyota products I'd ever own... except maybe a Century.

New Rangers are quite different from the old that shared their platform with the Courier and Bravo. Those vehicles had terrible gearboxes too, so many breakages.

Even a slightly capable off roader - we have a fleet of them at work that we take four wheel driving occasionally.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
