How many km's on it mate?

My mate sold his on gas with 410,000km's for $500. You don't get a hell of a lot for them unfortunately.

Ok cool it's done 290000 but 230000 of them were by my grandfather. Was that with converter gas tank and all?

Hey guys I am contemplating to change my diff ratios I don't do any 4x4ing I pretty much use my car for interstate and work driving, what do yous think if I leave my ratios as 3:9's
Should I do the install of the engine and see how they go or just change them?

Swap the engine and see how you go with the diff ratio. You can easily change the ratio later. But why do you have a patrol only to drive it on the highway??? Buy a buzz box for the price of the engine swap and use it on the freeway and on your days off, get the trol in the mud THEY LOVE IT!! oh and take photos too lol

Hahaha I used to do a fair bit 4x4ing and I still might get out once in a while, but I kinda do alot of hunting interstate. I guess I can change the ratios later, I just thought someone else is running the same gears. They are great cars. Did you want photos is the conversion or the mud?lol

Are the exhausts the same between the petrol and diesel or will I have to change it as well?
And can I alter my wiring loom the tb42 or
Would I need a td42 wiring loom?

Hey guys i ended up working everything out I got the car running and did the vicroads changeover, I noticed a slight ticking noise that got a little louder each week so decided to get it comp tested and cylinders 2&5 were low and cylinder 3 had deep scores in it, not the news i wanted to hear,so I took it back out,and it's at the mechanics now gettin a full rebuild with turbo.
How do u upload photos on here as you guys like them I can't work it out.
