91 Mitsubishi 4x4.
4.88 gears (factory)
Auto
2wd, 4wd hi, 4wd hi center diff lock, 4wd low cdl.
96,000kms
Just got it inspected...in/out excellent shape (only needs rotors for front)
2.5L TURBO diesel intercooled.
A/C front and rear, pw, pl, p/sunroof, 4 door.
RHD :lol:
i wish it was mine but my lovely wife is the proud recipient.
33x10.50 BFG AT's are on order as no lift needed and the 30" tires are not best matched for 4.88 gears.
Special thanks to dunl for all his advice regarding Mercedes including a nice lead...but Pajero it is! 8)

Hey Spinalguy where did you get you pajero from? I am looking at a Nissan Terrano with the 2.7 l The guy wants around 10,000 for it with 69,000 kms on it. It will become my daily driver if I get it.

nice

most imports are like this. one friend bought and another is still looking at import from Japan. there's like no where to drive there, most low KMs
-
i got it privately off an ad on kiiji.
Low mileage is the norm as there really is nowhere to drive far in Japan.
Also, Ornamental was telling me that this Pajero is like the 4 door Suburban here...a land yacht and not really practical over there.
Also, every vehicle in Japan has to be thoroughly inspected and fixed every 2-3 years and i stress THOUROUGHLY.
So, old vehicles are low kms and immaculately maintained.
Truthfully, i wish it was mine but its my wifes.

I got mine from JDMconnection too. Arrived last December.

I see yours has the electronic climate control and rear AC. Mine lacks those two options which would be nice. Other than that, pretty much Identical to mine.
We love ours, it's a great vehicle if you don't mind the slooooow acceleration.

Think of the torque for off-roading, though!
-
well i bought one as well.

well i bought one as well.
What did you get?
Is it here?
Do tell 8)

I bought on off of Kijijji as well. 1991 2 door 85000 kms. Dual batteries goofie bush bar out front. Blue interior. 4.88 gears I think. It needs new tires, pitman arm, swaybar bushings. I put some new headlights in it today. Wow those Hella's are not cheep. Tried to fab up something today for a winch mount but more thought is needed to install. Might just go with a front 2" reciever. Once I sell my jeep I will order all the stuff to do the timing belt waterpump balance shaft belt tensioners etc.... That should be a fun day. Lots of learning going on.
-
Hey Spinal guy! The bfg 33x10.5's are great. Much better highway speed. No real loss of power for acceleration. It seam that you can hold the gear longer and the turbo has time to spool up to provide boost. Of course I assume you will be going through stuck again for tires? I did, another happy customer!!!! If you need contact info let me know.
-
i thought stuck again left Fountain???
Anyways, i bought rims and tires from National 4WD(great deal). They should be here in 2 weeks. 33x10.50 on Procomp rockcrawler 15x7 Black rims.
i also saw my buddy Al at Calgary Muffler on Thursday. We cut off everything from the Turbo back. Installed 2.5" freeflow.
MUCH improvement.
Oh Yeah, i decided to keep it for myself, the wife gets something else :lol:
i love this thing!!!!

Next...Window tinting...anyone have connections? :wink:
-

-

Hey Tom Bryan has moved to tirecraft. What I really liked was their unrepairable tire insurance for 4 bucks a tire. So you puncture a sidewall?? You get another tire. I am sure it will be prorated for remaining tread but some warranty is better than no warranty!!! I also had a look at my exhaust. It looks like I have 2 1/4" mandrel bent stainless exhaust!!!!! Still has all 3 mufflers. Loads of power. For a 4 cyl anyway. Took it out to McLean. It offroads quite well. I am very happy with this truck.
-
Nice 8)

Suddenly these things are everywhere. There was a blue and silver RHD one with a roof rack in Red Deer traffic this morning on the north hill at Gaetz and 67th around 11 am. I've never seen it before. Alberta plate.

:lol:

The RHD revolution has begun :lol:
Very cool! I'm not sure what I want next. Have to sell this Civic first.
I have a couple questions about the Skyline: Is it already registered? How did the headlights pass the OOP?
-
There's a place not far from our office (Canadian Custom Trucks?) who does those pimped out high rise full size trucks. Guy there has a black RHD Skyline GTR.
There's also a white Lexus SC coupe with RHD buzzing around slammed to within inches of the pavement. Sounds like an Indy car going by.
Dumb azz question of the day: Is the shift pattern and peddle placement reversed in RHD vehicles? An old buddy of mine was involved with a woman in Australia years ago and you could always tell when he was just back from there because he turned his wipers on every time he changed lanes for a week or two until he got used to his car again. Her car was an automatic though and I've always wondered about gear patterns and peddle layout.
-
the shift pattern doesnt change nor do the pedal placement clutch on the left break then gas on the right... only thing that does change is the placement of the turn signal switch
-
Doug,
The GTR is the 'one' to get for serious fast out of the box fun.
But this AWD is perfect for my wife. It lays down about 220hp in a light car.
For $1000 in upgrades it would be at 400hp :shock:
Redbull, it is an Alberta registered car. It had zero problems passing OOP. They know how to make the lights legal.
RedDog,
The only difference is the steering wheel. The peddles and shift pattern remain the same. i have gone form 1st to 4th by accident twice in the test drive. i will drive it this week to get used to it while my wife drives the AUTO Pajero to get used to RHD. 8)
-
Tom, How much harder is it to drive a RHD during rush hour...ie making left had turns at intersection with some on coming traffic making a left hand turn?
What about dotted single passing lanes in the highway?
I'm having a hard time convicing the wife with RHD cars.
Thanks,

Joel,
In the Pajero you are higher up. Typically at intersections they are not a problem unless its that odd time that a BIG truck is opposite you turning left.
i have not experienced a problem yet. i will let you know about the car after i have driven it for the week.
2 lane highways? i do not know yet but my thinking is that as i approach a slow moving vehicle i will already have cleared the passing zone (just like we do in a LHD car) The odd chance that i am right behind and do not have a trusted passenger with me than i can
a/ drop back to see ahead (if no one behind me)
b/ if someone is behind me, let them pass and i will jump in behind them to pass or get back in my lane.
i think for the minor inconveniences that it may occur are well worth buying a car worth 20,000 + for a fraction of the price.

Kewl, thanks for the response Tom.
