slightly off subject but......looking into updating my wife's car.

She wants the following.

*4WD(so we can go 4 wheel driving)

*Diesel

*7 seater....at least

*less than $20,000

So I came up with something for her.....I reckon it's hot.

They may be diesel but still not very economical. They use about 12L/100km in metro.

You should be able to get this for closer to $15000.

Lots of different options with these.

They are based on the Pajero and share lots of parts.

The only bad point is.........it is a Mitsubishi (Mitsushitty)

Thankz everyone for thier inputs!

Im still thinking which one to go for atm...But I got a smile on my face when i drive my stag every morning!

i like the new elgrand, it looks hot but then not sure if i gona pay extra for a bigger car..since bigger = harder to park..

Craig, the Delica is a good car...since it share alot of parts with the pajero means u will never have problems with parts either factory or after market..

but the problem with this car is they are too tall, they are like 2.2 meter up, and ur wife will find alot of problems trying to get into parking either under ground or at shoping centre,

my friend have one before he used to complaint to me all the time....

Since reading this thread I've seen at least 3 elgrands driving around in Brisbane.

Then I made the mistake of showing the mrs......now she wants 6 kids :thumbsup: (so that we can buy an elgrand...i told her just 4 would be enough to outgrow the stagea...but even so...we've only just had our first)

She still reckons the M35 is ugly but she thinks the elgrand looks great....?!

I dont mind the look of the elgrand, but the stagea is here to stay. Unless they make the elgrand awd & turbo or otherwise fit a VQ37HR into it...

El Grand is 4wd and some have a VQ35DE in them (E51) E50 commonly has a Turbo 4cyl in them with the VQ30 or VG33 in them.

I believe 4wd is an option, and from my (limited) reading, not a very common one? At least with the latest ones from the Nissan Hong Kong website, it specifically says front engine, RWD.

VQ30 is V6.

interestingly if they had a VQ30DD it would have more power than the VQ35DE. In my opinion the VQ35DE is the weakest part about it. They use the severely detuned 170kw version, not the 220+kw version that the 350z had (might be thinking of the VQ35HR but either way the VQ35DE is capable of 206kw & 360N-m).

indeed! i think the engines are identical, its probably just injectors and engine timing. besides all the manifold stuff.

but why do it to a FWD maxi?? its gonna torque steer its tits off!

lol... I was referring to the engine... not the car.

Having said that, have you driven a TRD Aurion? Stuff all torque steer there bud. Must have something to do with intelligent engineering...

nah im not into high powered FWD cars. the most was my euro and it was torquey enough for me with only 140kw. gimme RWD anyday!

mind you, i could throw the honda into a corner and it would be VERY comfortable lol

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      Half anticipating the next question then: I have two magnets stuck in my oil pan. What should I do?

      If it's magnetic what is stopping you from using a magnet on a thin wire from fishing it out?

      Those 2 solenoids in that assembly I mention, are the PWM solenoids for torque converter lock-up clutch & EPC (line pressure control) ~ when most folks hear of 'solenoid failure', the tendency is to think electrical failure...but fact of the matter is, especially wrt the EPC solenoid (which is moving/running all the time), you can have an electrically 'good' solenoid, that's absolutely broken/worn out mechanically inside...ie; valve plunger return spring rubbing against spring retainer plate, lowering preload pressure.. ...and the solenoid armature extension limit spring wafer with bad wear/broken off petals... ...and if there's ever been any metal flying about, damage to the valve plunger end itself... ...the stuff one never really sees, unless you go the whole 10yards trying to answer the question "why is my line pressure screwy, but TCU isn't flagging any EPC solenoid fault?"...and carefully dissect the solenoid. Worst (and most probable) scenario is when the plate spring petals break off, they get held by the magnetic flux, get mashed up by the armature into little bits, which end up in the space between the armature & shading core bore, and things get stuck or randomly jam up, and your line pressure goes flat and doesn't change...and the TCU never sees it, as it doesn't actively monitor LP... ..then it gets into insidious land, if you end up with lower than expected line pressure...lets say high clutch..and the lower pressure causes it to slip ~ when I say 'slip', think say 2000rpm on the drive plates, and 1800rpm on the driven plates, because the slip is making them under-rotate by 200rpm ; you get all the usual nasties like heat and band/clutch wear, but even if it's only 20rpm slip the same thing happens...and... you'll hardly ever pick this up driving the thing with the torque converter active as it effectively masks these sorts of slippages that are line pressure related ...(the newer TCUs can detect clutch slip rate)...just  FYI as it were...

      RB20 in need of modest love injection

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys, so Golebys has good prices on Bosch injectors, and also sell an adaptor to go from 1/2 length injector to standard with the Nissan 10.5mm top seal.  Does anyone know if that adaptor is to suit the 14mm or 11mm injector tops?  And re. The bottom seal, to suit my standard RB20 intake, would I be right in saying I can just slip the 14mm square section O ring over the bottom of the new injector and done? Thanks in advance guy, Cheers, Rowdy
