Does foxtons still make these?

My wide body is scrap metal until I find one....

Mite be keen if/when I find a fibre glasser and see if it will make things easier.

How come I can't see it unless on my phone? I am useless but b good to get desktop to open it also. Any hints b awesome, getting withdrawals.

I'd start it first in make sure all is good before it going to the dyno for sure. Remember these guys sit in the car, their screen doesn't tell them water is pissing out everywhere and you'd be surprised how long it take for them to notice. I start them up and check for leaks, then around the block ...

You don't have enough grunt there JAS. :)

It ain't gonna worry you out at Ruapuna, my stocker could sit there as long as I wanted with 60 series tyres and all. You start burnouts out there on wet concrete and then they don't like you using the brake on the tarmac. (because dual use racetrack)

He doesn't replace the balance shaft belt which has far more chance of being worn out, nor does he undo the main crank pully bolt to allow him to do so. I'd also replace water pump and tensioner even second belt job regardless, especially if your doing it at home or whatever and don't want to touch ...

Local car delivery company is called New Zealand Vehicle Deliveries.

On the trucks it has just the initials, NZVD written very big. I snigger every time I see one and think it must be owned by a young person as the term isn't used/hasn't been for years.

I have thrown some money your way also, go grab some VB's :beer

Managed to get on here temporarily as the forum normally won't work.

Went for a ride along the motorway in this at the weekend, very impressed.
Quite smooth useable power, be good to see it on the track where you can really open it up.

5.2 come in 91 on Lwb diesel nz new pajeros here. Not sure what fits just saying.

Never seen them in an import or swb models.

Thanks Zac ordered a few this morning outta Japan, trying also to get the scuff panel ones, none left but they may resupply or remake them. I don't even know what those look like as its been so long.

I'd also be keen but don't even have my car in my possesion at the moment. Will have to go get it and get it legal first.

The 4G54 never took off in this country, a few early Pajeros and some crappy Aussie Magnas aside we roll V6's. But I see early Diamantes badged Magna (from Japan or Aussie) with the 2.6 engine, so if they are the ones then a second hand one is possible although unlikely. Like this: http://www.tradem...

Zac get in touch with Merv with the rally car, Jas should/might have his number. He did quite alot of head work and suggested it was hardly worth going mpi without doing it.

Jb equals second generation injection yeah?

I still get the seals from Mitsubishi part number MD614116 for a complete kit although as usual pricey. Still available ex Japan i think.

Shit that is cheap, I can imagine the laughter going down to the local Mitsi dealer and asking for one of them. My UK spec one which has spent most of its life inside also has a rusty bumper frame, and moulding along the side under the plastic. But my other (Jap) one that spent 20 years outside only...
