New daily drive is currently this -

lePotGb.jpg

Believe it or not, when the 34 is finished on the dyno it will go back to my daily and this will be driven by Carmen or just sit in the shed waiting for the weekend :D

Fk that for a daily - not because its not a nice vehicle to drive but the petrol consumption is ridiculous!

Father in law has a petrol (booo!) 80, its gotta be up around 25lts/100km.

Depends what you like. I'd prefer concavity though, but that's just me ..

Get some CE28's! XXR are too over done, plenty of evo's around my area running this setup.

Got a mate selling a nice set of EVO rims, i could get details if needed.....

Turbo Diesel man! So far i have done 600kms and am still on the first fuel tank, still have the reserve tank to go. Previous owner said around 900km on town driving and 1200km+ on highway.....

Its better than my 34 :P It drinks more alcohol than i do............ Well............ Nearly haha

gimmie gimmie l/100kms figure when you figure out numbers. very keen to know

the newer TD Prado are quoted at around 8.5l combined. I know its 3.0 4cly compared to a 4.5 (4.2D?) 6cyl but in the end same end purpose of vehicle

Will be hard to work out exactly as the speedo is out :P I am working roughly on the % at the moment..... I can let you know how many L it used on a trip to VIC in a fortnight!

I'm sure Tez already has some Ralliart items lined up in his garage :P

Haha! Nice!

Thanks again you two!

The car still has to be complied; so I haven't driven it yet - even with trade plates.

Engine modifications are likely - but without going silly.

Cosmetic mods will be rims.

Thinking of getting a concave look with slim spokes like XXR-527 or ADVAN RS. Any opinions on those in 18x9.5 +20 or thereabouts?

Looking forward to see it :)

Google maps the distance, figure out the fuel L's used... carry the 1's and such.

Or get that speedo fixed. Assume its the massive penis extension tyres that have thrown it out?

Yep can work that out easily enough!

The speedo seems to be sitting below the 0 mark and stays that far out the whole way! Surely the tyres are making it out a bit yes BUT to 20km/h haha

And the owner did throw in another set of rims and tyres too, but its a part of the fun driving around in a mini monster truck :P

Ye older landcruisers and patrols are aweomse! Built like tanks and can take a lot of punishment.

Don't build cars like that anymore.

Fuel is a small price to pay really when driving 2+ tonnes of "get the hell out of my way" haha!

Lol, so far its proving to be pretty good on fuel! 2 weeks of DD and i am still on the first tank and that included a 4hr drive on Saturday exploring the coast! :D

They seem to be built pretty tough and people tend to move for it haha!

My only complaint with it is the window tint at night, cant see a farken thing! Looks awesome and is nice and private for day use but night time is a bit annoying!

Well that ain't bad at all!

And I guess changing the tint isn't too harsh of a mod really cause you need to see where you are parking at night ay.

Going to drive it to VIC and will be at night, will decide then what to do... It should be a comfy trip from my impressions so far! It's so quiet even though it had a straight through 3" exhaust.... I'll admit, it sounds like a tug boat at idle though lol

Haha yeh that's one of my little things with the diesels. Would pick the petrols for that reason although you instantly lose with the fuel ay. But i still love those sub tanks!

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
