Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi all,

Have a 2004 V8 Petrol Auto GXL Landcruiser.

Purchased new with 275/70 R16 114T Dunlop Grandtrek T.G.28M2 tyres.

Tyres have done 110,000kms and I have been very happy with them (unfortunately these tyres are no longer available).

Vehicle does predominantly hwy kms, with occasional sand ...

Been there and done the research....

Just droped my 100series V8 Landcruiser in to get gas fitted this morning....

After much research and speaking to lot's of people in the know, I have chosen to go with the Parnell VSI (Vapour Sequential Injection) system.... Not cheap ($4700) but reportedly the ...

Thanks for the replies guys....

jp - Economy varies.... Average is between 15 - 16 lt/100km with a mix of town and highway driving.... Can get down to 13-14 on a trip.... 22-24 towing the boat (2.5tonne Malibu Wakesetter).... Also bear in mind that I only run 98 Ocatane PULP (Synergy 8000 or BP ...

Hey all.... been a while since I posted....

Anyone got a V8 100 Series on gas??

Not that I'm unhappy with the over all fuel consumption, but I am unhappy about paying $1.52 per lt for petrol....

I'm seriously considering fitting the Parnell VSI System (Vapour Sequential Injection)....

Seems to ...

I was after $15,000 as my minimum....

The guy had travelled a fair way.... I thoughy it was a fair price for all concerned....

Advertised for $16,000

Sold for $15,000....

Not exactly cheap.... but a very good example.... with many mods....

And I guess I was a bit lucky to strike a buyer who was a) looking for a good Bundera b) Had a preference for a v8 converted one and c) Could appreciate all the hard work and ...

The Bundera has gone to a new home....

Just 4x4's was only on the shelf for 3 hours before I got the first call....

Had five calls all told (4 pretty keen.... one dreamer)....

First to drive it bought it!! (Mag came out on the Wednesday.... sold on the Sunday)....

So Nick, in my case ...

Nick....

I've decided to only advertise in Just 4x4's.

It's only around $30 for a colour ad as opposed to $85 for the same in 4x4 Trader (4x4 Trader has glossy colour pages as opposed to more paper like pages in Just 4x4's, I guess that's the reason for the price difference).

I can ...

Hey all....

I have just purchased a new Landcruiser 100 Series GXL V8 (Don't actually get it till Wednesday).

It comes with 275/70 R16 Tyres (Dunlop I think).

I would like to trade the tyres for something a bit more intermediate than the "Road" tyres it comes with (Maybe BFG All-Terrains ...

No problem Nick. I'll let you know.

Thanks mate.... it will be in the next issue of Just 4x4's and 4x4 Trader....

Yes the day has come....

Speak to Marks Adaptors in Melb....

I have their MFK917 conversion from TH700R4 to Landcruiser split transfer case in my Bundera.... works great!! (Did not have to worry about an adaptor for the motor end as my Bundera is fitted with en EFI 304)....

Marks don't have your particular conversion ...

No fear of that just yet.... Have to pay for the new Wakesetter first!!

....or you can dump the 22R completely and go the whole hog on a conversion.... then they can tend to be under braked rather than under powered!! (Mine has 75 series front brakes, but I would like to put disc brakes at the rear one day)....

I have had one bit of rust fixed in the roof gutter ...

I purchased my Bundera with the conversion already done, so I did not do the engine work....

The guy I purchased it off did the conversion (he owns a mechanical workshop in Canberra), but bought the motor complete (with reciepts).

200-220KW is not overly hard to achieve from these motors.

I ...

Yes the Turbo Diesel model came with a stronger box (not sure of the model number) but the Petrol ones (22R) came with the weaker G52 box....

I have one of these motors (albiet a bit worked) in my Bundera.

Skip is correct.... 165kw from the factory.... mine is around 218kw....

Your standard gearbox (G52 I presume) is definately not up to the task (I know I disintergrated mine!!).... supra five speed is better.... diesel landcruiser ...

I've got an Injected 5ltr in my Bundera backed up by a Modified TH700.... There are quite a few differences between the V6 and V8 TH700.... the obvious one is the bolt pattern.... so you can't get it wrong anyway!!

I have the earlier (VN) cable kickdown auto in mine. Ther are stronger due to ...

I know the petrol Bundera (22R) runs the G52 box, backed by a Landcruiser Split Transfer Case, then Hilux Diffs....

I think the Diesel version runs the stronger cruiser box (not sure about the number)....

I can vouch for the diff opinion.... have rebuilt mine once already.... stripped the pinion gear.... Don't know how much punishment it had before I purchased it though.... It's been going strong ever since....

Yep.... first I had the Marks kit to go from the 304 to the G52 box (not the strongest box around so I found out), then sold this kit to buy the new one to go from the Turbo 700 to the Cruiser Split Transfer Case....

It's a bit of a squeese, but well worth the effort.

I'd be happy to give you ...

It's a mildly worked, injected 304 out of a VN Calais, backed up by a heavily modified and beefed up Turbo 700....

My Bundy....

The tow bar has a 2" or so square tube running from one side to the other, bolted to the rails with a brace also beading forward on the rails.

At the front of the square section where the removable tongue goes in there is a flat plate with some threaded holes in it.... It looks like on some ...

Gday all.

I was wondering if anyone knows the towing capacity for an RJ70 Bundera.

The vehicle is fitted with a fairly heavy duty looking tow pack. It has a square removeable tongue, but the chassis mount has a plate that looks like it is meant to have a bit bolted to the front of it to go ...

I'm thinking of upgrading the front seats in my Bundera. (For Comfort / Hold reasons)

I have heard that Surf Seats are a good replacement?

I would like to keep the factory Bundera suspension system, and also require the ability for them to fold forward for access to the rear seat.

Any ...

Yup I have a Bundy.

Red 1985 Model.
Elec sunroof (Factory)
Pwr windows (Factory)
218kw EFI 5ltr V8 (Originally 22R - Gutless)
Tricked up Turbo 700 4 Speed Auto (Originally G52 - Broke)

Koni adjustable shocks
15" Alloys with ...

I'm thinking of fitting a snorkel to my Bundera (having some pinging problems because of under bonnet temp's), and was just wondering what brands other people recommend.

By the way, the vehicle is a 1985 Bundera.

I have a Bundera with a modded EFI 304 ( VN Commo 5lt v8 ) backed by a tricked up TH700R4 4 speed auto, running the standard cruiser split transfer case and Bundera ( aka Hilux ) diffs with 4.1:1 gears.

Fair bit of work to do properly including upgrades to fuel lines / wiring / brakes ...
