both as good as the man that tuned them
buy what ever is in better nick then take it to a good tuner both will make just as much power just as easy

So far the Nissan section believes the Nissan in faster. I believe Mud4b, he seems like an honest fella.

80 series hands down

mums good old 1HDT with 350 000k on the clock says toodles to our friends old RX 4.2L TD GQ. I have also dragged a swb 3.0L V6 Pajero and i had her in 1st, 2nd, and she caught me when i was in 3rd at 3000rpm then once i hit 4th she was gone. I was still impressed with the old diesel unless she was just playin
.
TOYOTA TOUGH!!!!!
p.s Dont talk about 12H-T's. My 60 gets flogged on acceleration by kids with training wheels

Mud4b What fuel consumption do you get while towing?
I am heading off around Australia in a month or 2 carrying a 1.5 tonne caravan so it means a fair bit of dollars going into the fuel bill.
