Is making 165RKW Which was down tuned from 180RKW. Boost's up at 1700RPM so there is no lag at all.
Future plans are uncertain apart from needing a new Clutch as it starts to slip in 3rd when it's angry.
Here are some pictures

Tough. Clutches in these cant handle the weight, we had a stock petrol one and you had to take it easy on it to an extent or it would slip.
This thing would be awesome off road. Why was it 'detuned' to 165rwkw? This would scare a few at the traffic light battles!

Yeah it's awesome offroad! I took it to Toolangi on Sunday and has a ball. The power is awesome. I detuned it because it lost power in the lower RPM range. Has heaps up top but I wanted the power all the way through. This way it gets angry at 1700RPM.
I get some strange looks when I take off at the lights.
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
Thats awsome.. Looks great.
Did you still keep the original carby setup, like the manifold and everything? Have you got photos of the stock carby engine bay you could put up?

Thanks for your comments. Don't have the original setup left. Or pics unfortunatley. All is now fuel injected no carby.
Thats cool, it's the way to go nowadays even the comp trucks are using the turbo petrol route, instead of the diesel, except their turboing the 4.2 and 4.8litres, i can only dream.

It's the standard Patrol gear box which run the GTR Skyline Box with a transfer case bolted onto the side
I have some bad news. Was out in the bush the other night and after 20mins of holding the car on the floor, the motor is showing signs of a bad Big End Bearing. It's making some clucking noises
