Re: Vitara/Escudo advice
LWB usually better on hill climbs and climbing up ledges that sort of thing. LWB Vit is still shorter than a SWB Safari. A SWB Safari is bumper to bumper pretty much the same length as a 4 door Surf. The Vits are a good solid 4x4 with good suspension design for a IFS truck. Suspension is easy as to ...

Re: Ld28 Flywheel WTB
Hey, can either of you guys tell me what Turb the LD28 should have??
It looks like a T3 or T4 flange in the mani, but it's only a baby diesel so it needs the right turb otherwise it will be laggy and work in the wrong part of the rev range.
We have half the Turb

Terrano has the best of the Jap brands in IFS trucks for engine/running gear longevity and strength (it's a TD42 truck engine minus 2cyl), suspension performance, vehicle dimensions (wheelbase e...

That's how they run some of the Tracks in Aus. You apply for your permits before you leave, or drop into a designated place if you can't before you leave.

It's a harmonic vibration produced by the rotating parts of the engine vibrating at a particular frequency at a certain rpm. It varies f...

Re: AT/M, MT, Tyre Options, Safari.
If ya looking for 33 x10.5, good luck.
Closest you will get is 255 85 R16, which are available in both Maxxis 762 and BFG a/t and Km2 m/t.
I rate both those tyres, Maxxis wear well for price, BFG m/t wear even better, but price is $$$$$?????
255 85 r16 = 33.2 X 10.5 roughly.

It will be the ECU, there's a place in Nelson that repairs them. Someone will remember the name, I cant find it.
Either way, those symptoms are exactly those of a dying ECU, and you can get the ecu repaired and returned back to you for a few hundred dollars with in a week.
