cute wee gem

I had a great run out of my 2010 double cab triton, it was almost immune to depreciation in the 2.5 years I had it too. Only gripe was it was slightly too tall geared with the big wheels to tow comfortably in 5th at legal speeds.

If you can get past the looks *black blends the awkward cab to tray lines they are not a bad machine for the money.

Do the 2wd come only with the 2.5? I'm not too fussed on looks, I just want something good tbh, it's just a daily after all

This. I would go 4X4 if you plan on towing.

Check if the injector seats and seals have been replaced in the past 50k.

Why 4x4? and is that for hiluxs or all diesels? (injectors)

D22 Navara.

2.5l ones? I would prefer a bigger engine for towing tbh

2wd 1KD lux

I have been looking at these as well. Nicer to look at than the Rodeo for sure. Need more explanation

Sorry I forgot to say. 15-16k max budget

Hey guys

I'm looking at buying a new ute. I had a 97 rodeo which was pretty awesome but it had done well over 500,000km and was just worn out and was probably not much good for towing any more.

I need something with a decent tow rating, diesel manual, good reliable daily, double cab ute is probably the best for me, personally.

What's good and what's not? I do like the look of the 2007+ rodeos and the 4jj1 seems to have good feedback. What's the go with other brands? Need 2500 minimum towing and 2wd is all good/preffered

What did you change, Kris?

Use blue loctite then?

The flange that bolts to that housing has a v-band on it. Just use one of them?

I've heard of a few similar stories about young engineers and also some council inspectors around town having had some pretty big threats against them for annoying builders over the years! The Carterton council have been pretty damn good though, I must say and luckily I don't have to deal with any engineers

I've only ever used steel mesh before, so I was very dubious about the hairy bog (it was stated in my plans to be used) but I'm more than happy so far.

There are actually a few neighbours around but the closest two are probably 200-300m away so that's good. They all have covenants stating that they can't subdivide etc so it should stay as a "small lifestyle block"

I'll probably just use the land for a few beefies/homekill etc. I also want to develop the natural spring near the back into a wetland, incorporating that into my backyard when I one day build an actual house.

Could you tig braze it with silicon bronze or something?

I actually have no idea but I learnt that silicon bronze is good for header flanges last week.

I can't help with much else but don't even some 90s coil packs still have condensers? I had 4g93 coil packs on my gemini and I'm positive it had a condenser (or atleast something that looked like one) on it 

Going to wire them to 14awg with a relay just to be sure, as I can't find any info on coil amp draw =\

Cheers Ned

I just thought that because they were all firing individually they might only draw a small amount at a time, but I'm not that flash with electronics lol

That's exactly what had crossed my mind, Ned. So I think I'll just go that route to be safe.

I have no idea what they draw tbh. Dwell is about 3ms, fully sequential setup

Wiring up a COP setup at the moment for 2jzge. Now the factory body loom has a relatively small 18ga? wire (12v) to feed the factory igniter and single coil.

Will this wire still be big enough to feed 12v to 6 individual coils?

I can also vouch for Alex / mlracing

Awesome to deal with!

Good bits gone unfortunately =(

Got a little tipsy tonight..

May need a new boot floor! This and the A pillars are the worst bits, the rest is pretty solid thankfully.

Awesome! Not this one by any chance? It was previously gloss black. I remember it swinging Os across the road from maccas 5-8 odd years ago.

They're definitely loads of fun to drive

Did you see theres a Piazza down south wrecking on trademe too, good to lend its brakes and diff for you...

Couldn't find it =(

My other coupes boot floor is immaculate from memory. Funny how the exact same car can rust in different spots. I find the inner front guards are almost always rusty except on later model ones where they have plastic to protect them. Unsure about Chevettes as I've only owned 2 and never bothered to do them up.

Standard isn't in my vocabulary Unsure of plans yet but it'll be Isuzu powered.

Hah, Steelies, Goat and I totally rolled past you at the Mobil in Masterton in Steelies Coon wags on saturday,

brought up a decent conversation about Geminis and chromes

Hah! I seen you guys go past and thought "that looks like Steelies' Coon"

Gemini's and chromes are an Aussie dream mayte!
