Great effort mate. can't wait to see your winter pics!!
love your work mate! awesome write up and its nice to see your tackling all your problems. hows the 2.8 go? its pretty common that they do heads i think?
FYI, you can definitely still drive left hand drives here, you just need a special permit so come on over and well show you what a "Real" winter is hahaha, it is just about to begin =P
Thanks, MudRunner. It's been a long time coming. Winter pics will be up soon (I hope) :wink:Quote:

It's almost impossible to find a factory TD42, although I have seen quite a few swaps from the ZD30 to the TD42. The RD28T can blow heads, but not as commonly as the early ZD30s. The damage had been done on mine long before I got it.Quote:

At the time, the used car market was booming with imports from Japan, so there was a plethora of right-hand drives all over the city. The market has shifted a bit now to more European model imports, so it's becoming less common to find them.Quote:
