Re: To GDI or not to GDI...

Owned a LWB '97 Pajero. We put nearly 100k on it. Great vehicle on and off road, loved it. The 3.5 V6 has plenty of grunt. They are gas guzzlers, may as well own a V8. Anyone who says they aren't has never owned one. The 90L tank would get 500km of city driving if we were very lucky and 700km of ope...

Re: brake callipers

I was given a set of Nissan rims to try on my cruiser and they wouldn't clear the brake calipers.

Traditional steel "speedy" rims will fit. They are the cheapest "new" option. I have 15x8's on my '91 Cruiser.

Re: v6 pajeros ?

Thirsty buggers would be my opinion. No lack of power though, unlike the diesel Pajeros.

We have a 3.5 auto LWB. From memory it has an 80 odd litre tank and we get 600 maybe 700km out of it open road travelling. Around town it's a lot less.
