Stage 1 V8

from what i gather over here in nz, the nissan ld28 or ld27 motor is a popular conversion with series rovers, although most are done with the standard series not the stage 1's. also found out a couple of months ago the nz army who had a whole lot of v8 stage 1's, when they deployed to Bosnia under t...

happy birthday, i remeber my first day i could drive hehehe my mini 1000 hahaha your biceps are going to get a good work out, best of luck

do you have a link to the pictures?? any sign writer with half a clue should be able to copy the originals. i got mine copied. my brother was into doing sign writing, he did everything from trucks to headstones. http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q242/gary_in_nz/P1010080.jpg http://i138.photobucket....

yeah all good fun!
i really wanted to give it a rip in some mud but it has been so dry here on the East Coast this summer.

still good to know its limitations

Found out something over the weekend. This is the angle that you need to be on for the lower SU to stop fueling. hahahahaha. The only bit of mud I could find on a 4 day drive and I got Sucked in. Turned out to be a bit deeper than I expected. There were mostly "shiney" trucks on the trip a...

hmmm that firewall around the hinges looks a bit dodgy?? truck could do with some tlc

i saw another stage one today on my random travels down Mahia Peninsula. good looking truck but i didnt have my camera handy.

maybe your v8 isn't loud enough?

lucky it lasts for a year. the MOT equivalent here in NZ is for 6 months for any vehicle older than 5 years old.

hmmm sounds like a tough choice, disco are pretty cheap, coil sprung, and have v8's. throw a locker or 2 at it and they are pretty capable, with a mild lift and bigger tyres. oh yeah they are v8!!

hey i asked if it was an easy conversion!! yeah i had thought of disc brakes. but i think if its going to be that much effort, would be easier to pick up a defender 90, just hard to find one that already has a v8 in nz that isnt way over priced. the other thing i was considering was swapping over th...

2002 Discovery 4.0L Engine Swap Q??

Seen one here in truck getting wrecked, everything up front is fine comes with computer and everything in deal, and has done 74,000kms.

Is this as easy as a swap out or are these motors not near enough the 3.5/3.9's??

awesome, i did not know that about the UN ones. thats a real shame about them rusting that would have to be one of the best conversions around.

yeah im not having any luck with that link either.

ok cheers for that, had me stumped!!
