thinking of just getting a tuff looking hilux or similar 4x4 for both work and everything else. new sr5's are too damn expensive!

i want the full off road look (flood lights, massive tyres, lifs, bars etc) but still have decent space in the back and not cost over 30k...

older model hilux/patrols are still nice

other suggestions?

We'll if your getting a car for work. You could salary sacrifice and not pay FBT Tax depending on your choice of vehicle.

Just sayin

I need a payrise, this whole train shit to the city is annoying

momo just put a big turbo engine in and drift teh f**ker :D

Nah gonna be a nice cruiser with a bit of punch.

Got some dudes coming to see the 34 this week so fingers crossed I'll have a half cut I can pull some bits off soon,

wtf else is there lol

Haha they are all decent cars, but just commenting from a gearbox point of view. Problem with the utilities is people expect too much from them and treat them like 4WDs = break easy. Um...Holden Rodeo? lol

The Navaras are quite nice overall.

Thought 27k would be illegal these days

Must've been + commissions surely?

yeh plus commision after 3 months probation.

dont you sign a contract saying salary? Surely in the contract it would mention the 6month stuff?? if it didnt, isnt it possible to take them to court over misleading info?

thats how i found out. the contract was in the first day, and i questioned the lady about it and said what is this.. she said it shouldve been explained to you etc..

Cool, don't forget to change the oil at 1000km and sort out your clutch drag.

clutch drag is sorted.. there was (surprisingly) too much travel with the SS shaft I used. put the old one back.. made some adjustments to the pedal.. its all perfect now.

Indeed. Rodeos are too small

New colorados coming soon should be interesting

The volkswagon utes are nice amarock or whatever

ya but 60K...

if you looking 25K

Check a Turbo D Bravo, they were most comfortable to drive in my books

the hilux is unbreakable but to get it to that stage they are very agricultural (but being on a farm that was fine)

older rodeos are ok, older navaras not so much newer hell yes but your paying for that as well.

ford courier..forget it

triton, ugly as hell..

all ones I drove were 98-04ish models either diesel or TD.

60k fk me thats a fair bit, i wouldnt have a clue just sayin they look nice.

Yeah my old man went in to check them out thinking of trading the hilux.

they did end up with the new tiguran for the old lady tho instead.

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
