  1. Welcome! Your vehicle list is pretty cool....

    Jap's TRD Hilux

    Sounds weird, but still learning to accelerate in this properly. At the moment, the best I can do is stick it in 4th and mash it from a standstill. Lucky it doesnt have traction control to ruin the 'fun'... I'll put a clip up one day.
  3. Love the Aurion, DK If I were up for a sedan, I would be looking for a TRD. the 1/4 mile time is getting up there, too. I'll let you know what I get next month and we can compare notes.
  4. I had an '88 HJ75 trayback with 2H diesel, absolute bullet proof truck. Also an '06 Turbo 6 Trayback which I only had for 6 months from new, was fantastic, regretted selling it. I also bought an '08 Turbo V8 Trayback, loved it, but I felt the build quality was slipping. Had rattles where it shouldnt have. I decided to have an accident and roll that one, insurance replaced it with brand new replacement, one with new dash and airbags, had it 2 days, hated it. Seat wouldnt go back far enough, just had less interior room than the previous one. Out of all my cruisers, the '06 was the one I liked best.
  5. Welcome Goobag (Thats awesome) might catch all of you bris guys when we pass through for the next Summernats
  6. I put some fuel in mine today? and I gave it a stab just to make sure the blower belt was still on ;)
  7. Welcome mate... Another hilux owner :) IMO, if you're running around town and doing some bushwork, you can't beat a basic sunraysia rim. What colour is your ute? White suits nearly everything, but I've seen them painted gun metal grey and they looked pretty good.

    Boost is only a measurement of restriction as you know. There would surely be a point to get a manifold pressure reading from. From what I've seen, the TRD stuff is pretty good for that.

    Thanks guys, but I'm not finished yet. As for location, I'm a long way away from Bris, but if I'm passing through, I'll remember that.
  12. Welcome mate. New here myself, looks alright aye!
  13. Hi All, Recently joined, so I thought I'd talk a little about my hilux. I took it off the dealer last year, an '09 plated TRD 4000S Hilux in a nice shade of red. It made all the right noises on the test drive so I had to have it. Then I went ahead and voided the factory warranty (shhhhh...ha ha ha) and did a few things to it, power went up and up, now makes 201.8kw at the tyres on Vortex 98. I'm aiming for 240rwkw, anything more is a bonus. I'll put some pics up tonight if I have time. Cheers
  14. Petrol V6, auto. It's so smooth to drive, almost a shame to get it dirty.
  15. Cheers Charlie. I'm going to keep this one factory height. I've done a bit to the exhaust and some other stuff, focusing on getting it moving a bit quicker ;)
  16. Hi All! Thought I'd join and check the place out. I drive an '09 4x4 Dual Cab Hilux, its pretty cool. Cheers, Jap
