Video of our time at caves beach. Some nice still shots at the end

We recently Took a week off for a small holiday down to Terrigal NSW . I have a friend down there who was kind enough to supply us free accommodation , well, in return I cooked most nights (his wife is vegan, I brought bacon) . Its quite a nice area close to the Beach and also close to the...

Low beam. Missus thought a car was coming the other way.

Hit a skippy the other day , he didnt fair well. Lucky for the bull bar the damage to the 150 wasnt substantial. Smashed headlight, smashed foglight,snapped off parking sensor,bent spotty mount and very slightly bent the bar in the centre Scored these lights from a guy selling on Failbook...

That's the first place I would check. There are others I saw after a quick Google search

It was almost time for new tyres. I have been wanting to Downsize the rims so I can get a higher profile tyre on more suitable for offroad driving. I had been eyeing off black Steel D lockers for some time now. I also wanted to go up a size in tyre. Originally the plan was to stick with dynapro...

ARB make them. Not sure on pricing but I would say around 12 to 1500 AU

You can go down to a 17" . The FJ cruiser wheels with the +15 offset work on KDSS equipped vehicles. I will be doing the same shortly. I have heard of from 0 to +15 offset working.

With the factory difflock pretty capable. Biggest issue is the longer wheel base although rangers have lots of clearance. The older ones had auto issues but has since been resolved. Tough ute but too much wank factor for me.

Picked up some almost new steps to replace what is left of the original set. I prefer the Look without , the missus and the kids have a little trouble climbing in. Picked up for $100 and came off a 2019 150. Mine have courtesy lights that will need to be transferred over. New Steps vs old by...

Push button Start on the 150 same as 200. Seems to do it if I quickly click into reverse . Really strange :think:

Makes sense. Possibly the reason my garage door opens itself as a start my 150 sometimes, shame I park outside...

Carista make a good one for OBDII . Might be worth checking if it will work on yours ?

They usually last quite a while, I think the service manual states they are to be changed somewhere around the 150k mark. Its a pretty common occurrence as I see the issue posted on FB groups every few days.

I was quite confident that was it as my 150 has the same ones. Nice to know the proper name for it though thanks @Firewout :thumbup:

There are multiple transponders in the vehicle. Looks to be the wind just behind the rear wheel arch ,See image for locations

One of Anthony's many FB pages if you guys are interested https://www.facebook.com/groups/169463520345260/

Lots of Injector info on this FB page. This guy works on 1KD full time and knows his stuff. https://www.facebook.com/groups/169463520345260/

Possible the transfer pump between the tanks has stopped operating. Not sure how much of a job it is on the 200 but the 150 required the rear tank to be removed.

It will be the proximity Transponder for your FOB. Moving may cause the locking/unlocking of your 200 to be inconsistent

Locksmith should be able to do it for you

For the U-Joints you need to pump in grease until you see just a slight amount of the old grease flowing out of the joints and for the sliding joints you just pump in 4-5 times and call it a day

Just a Small Mod. Finally got around to fitting an RJ45 plug into the dash. Previously had the lead coming out of one of the inside kick panels. Light force make this one. It has a spring loaded door for dust resistance when you have the handset unplugged and a backlight that can be wired into...

RJ45 UHF plug

Sometimes clunking can be caused by the Prop shafts, especially when pulling up. Lubricate with Lithium grease, Should be 6 nipples. Flexible hose on the grease gun will be required.

I know I was spewin I missed the calendar. Maybe next year. Too many nissans in that pic mate :p

Just completed another 3 day 4x4 camp at Levuka 4x4 park. We have now completed every track in the Park after our 3rd visit. Got to use the Winch in anger! Finally got to use the Winch! by Gasmanjc posted Jan 16, 2019 at 8:16 PM End of the track we had to winch up, hadnt been used in years...

Levuka trip

Have you considered fitting lights behind the grille? I have seen Light bars fitted behind them on other cars without losing much light intensity, could be an option. You may be able to make a cutom bracket up.

Good point didnt see that. I wish mine had become detached when I was trying to extend the breathers , I tore the hose before it let go of its home :(

No Dipstick Starcruiser . The breathers are up above the bell housing between the block and firewall, the water would have to be pretty deep to get in there How deep deep was the water butwat?

They are factory HID with projector lenses (can hear the ballast loading up) in the kakadu which is why the self levelling/washer is used . I only noticed the sharp cut off after I had a lift done but otherwise they were much better than my previous car with HIDs . The adjustment is at the...
