in low range bushwork mostly fine, on the road around town is ok but it will need to be revved, highway speeds it will annoy you to no end.

we talking gas/no gas, loaded/un-loaded?

my old one with 33's,gassed,unloaded with 3 inch lift was a crying shame even with all the mods to it :cry: didn't like hills one bit!!
then load the bad girl up for a trip and the tears never stoppped!
although 3rd seemed to save the day quite abit, saw quite alot of time on the red line :armsup:
my old truck done the job but needed alot more effort to drive at correct speeds,even more so then the 4.5 i got now ;)

just strap a turbo to it :D

Well the 3Lt Petrol is sure faster than a TD42 up hill trust me, want to talk about crying, with 35's, no turbo and standard 4.11 Diff ratios it sees alot of 3rd gear trying to keep 100k's up hill (my patrol up hill sees the 4000RPM mark alot)

can't be worse than my poor NA slug

NOTE: THIS IS FOR all RB30 patrol owners.

mate the firt thing your cousin should do is pull the restrictor plate out from beneath the carby :)

or to be more preceise, take the carby off, break away the honeycomb that in on the baseplate, bolt it back on and enjoy the copious amounts of extra power that you now have.

they are not to bad at all with 33's and a 6" lift with the baseplate removed.
