Hi mate.
Nice looking car you have over there. I like white cars ... it's hard to keep the paint in good condition but looks awesome.
Are you satisfied with baby engine? :D

Tell a girl that they are smaller :D
As for an engine ..... increase a boost to 1.2 BAR using MBC, add some more fuel on a pomp and rotate a boost pin. You will find it as completely new engine. But use a boost gauge and do not overdo the fuel dose beacuse if you have more fuel than air in diesel it couses higher EGT which is a stright way to blow up a head.
I'm running on 1,4 boost and no black smoke practically ..... but I'm tired of this engine and going to swap it for RB25DET NEO.
RD28T isn't bad engine ... it's just way to expensive.

hahah yeah true ill do that!
yeah i was thinking of adding the boost gauge anyway, but thanks mate that some handy tips there. i was thinking to do small modifications for a few year and when i can scrap the money together (and courage) to buy a LS2 and swap it myself :D

It's in very good condition a 2" lift some 33"s and a pair of Prolockers and you'll be unstoppable.
Think your mods through carefully. Do coils last IMO

yeah defiantly doing the coils last, get a better indication to what weight etc it is. the lockers on the front would they be a pretty straight forward job of changing?

Nice alpine look

Sorry for my silly question mate ... but what does it mean alpine look? It refers to a white colour of Dahero's truck ?
My english isn't perfect .... so don't blame me :1087:
