i highly important update!

when driving to VIC/QLD its all about comfort

anyway

the 99 patrol TI is GONE......she has been upgraded to a 2004 Prado grande

anyway this is a major improvement for my fat arse comfort on those long drives to race tracks!

first toyota 4wd

i think i am gay~!

ill have this till the new patrol comes out with the vk 56 v8

then its time for a upgrade

patrol to prado is a downgrade, not an upgrade

disagree... salesman here at work used a patrol 4x4 turbo diesel to tow machines around... went through turbos like nothing else and eventually blew the engine... plus noisy and not very comfortable..

prado grande's are the shiz... not the best, .. like a 120ser v8 cruiser.. but pretty damn comfy and quiet.. grande is top notch... well done fatz.. just dont throw them around corners... they chew the outside of the tyres.. and 17" 4wd tyres arent cheap... and no you cannot put 16s on it.. sooo many tightarses have asked me if you can change the brakes and shit over to hilux stuff so you can put 15" hilux wheels on..

yea no complaints about the beast… it’s a massive hit with the soccer mums

Patrols are better towers, but the prado is nicer to drive

i would have got a 4.2 TD patrol but they are worth more jebus!

+ im getting used to the Prado's lifeless steering

:)

only other down side is all the electronics… in the patrol you would get bogged and get out of it by the age old Simpson’s technique of old fashioned flooring (shit loads of fun)… in the Prado the computers get to work so the car gets itself bogged, then the computers have a think, then some how it gets itself un-bogged (very weird feeling), the down hill decent control is shithouse. I even put it on wet grass and tried to turn the traction control off and do some wet grass circle work (well it is Bathurst weekend!) but no the computers said they didn’t like that and shut me down!

Having done 300km total in it now I consider myself an expert!!!! Best part is in the patrol I would have had to fill it up already (stupid gas)

Ive named it roger!, cause it’s a bit camp!

    • I recently got their dbw 74mm throttle body and pedal kit. It is sensational quality especially the wiring harnesses. Unfortunately I can’t answer u about the fitment to stock inlet manifold as I’m going Rahjab Racing forward plenum. Only one thing to be careful of is understand u have to pay gst and import fees if your purchase is over $1,000 in one shipment.
    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.
