Re: Kiwipete's VX

What others have said re the antifreeze is correct just make sure you use one or the other, as I have seen red and green mixed before and it can go jelly like.

Re: Mitsubishi Triton 3.2 Diesel Info wanted

Olds have had one since new, currently 110,000kms. Mitsi replaced ecu at around 20,000kms due to surging. Great truck, real good kms/l front suspension is soft.

Re: Wanted: Cheap, economical ute

How cheap are you thinking? I cant think of any 4wd petrol utes that are economical. Early petrol navaras/hiluxs/b2000 are underpowered and chew alot of gas. Only ones I can think of would be a suzuki, even the later jimny utes still sell fir good $$$. Good luck.

Re: 13bt -No hot air

Replaced thermostat today, disconnected the rear heater lines and flushed heater lines again, still no hot air from the heater so tomorrows job will be ripping out the heater core I guess. Guess its just mounted inside heater box like old cars?

13b-t Too Much Boost?

Ive just picked up a Bj74 Landcruiser with the 13bt powerhouse in it, previous owner has done bigger exhaust, intercooler and upped the boost to 15psi although hasnt touched the fuel side.
Is 15psi too high for these or safe?
Ill look at cranking the fuel up a bit once I pick it up.

Re: Maybe moving from Aus to NZ and want to bring my truck

Its fairly easy, alot of imports coming in from Aus these days, your mods will be no problem, itll get a low volume cert done on import for lift etc. I know of a ZD30 patrol recently imported so Im pritty sure itll meet our emmisions laws.
