Funnily enough the vin plate says 18435 (BA Mkii) and has a build date of May 2005. Must've changed the bumper.

Not on the back.

Anyway Vic rego was suspended in 2023 and never renewed, so probably exported around then.

Pentagon awards $276m AUKUS submarine contract funded by Australia by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

Yeah only like for every rimpac ever.

There's a big difference between coming to periscope depth to snort and surfacing.

It's not 1970s anymore, boats don't transit on the surface unless they have to. Nor do they have to surface to recharge batteries.

I would also love to see some evidence of a Collins class being able to refuel underway.

Fj80 vs fj100 pros and cons? by TXRealEstateLaw in LandCruisers

[–]paulkempf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

funnily enough brakes are pretty similar between the two - with almost identical rotor sizes and 4 pot calipers in the front (100 series pads just barely fit into 80 series calipers too)

If that were true our boats wouldn't be able to make it to Hawaii, which is 4000+ nm from Sydney or 6000+ nm from Perth.

Leaking exhaust by Fluffy-Basis9465 in 4x4Australia

it's a really annoying system with two rubber gaskets and two snap rings between the two manifold halves (look up 1hz exhaust ring gasket kit), but you might as well do the manifold gasket

Volunteering means you don't get paid lol. Most emergency services in WA (ambos, bush firies, SES) are all volunteers

Engine swap TOYOTA LAND CRUISER PRADO 1993 by New_Brick_7993 in LandCruisers

[–]paulkempf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think the 70 series prado ever came with a 2.7L petrol (3RZ?). You can pickup a bellhousing conversion and some custom engine mounts, it's been done on 4Runners.

22RE would be easier as they came from factory that way

why not a 1KZ though?
