never had any probs with it.... mate just out of interest if this rangie is a

new acquisition how much did it cost you, if you don't mind saying

people may have got the wrong idia on the other thred, rangies are great

the only other thing I would drive would be a Series or defender

T

Got our share of series here.
$2500 for Rangie with reco 3.5 and ZF Had it for 2 yrs and done heaps of long trips. Morton Isle etc. The Rangie just needs bigger feet now. To keep up with these new Toymotors and D3's
I've been looking for a 94 LSE but looks like the 89 is in the line of fire.

I'm finding a lot won't touch (or can't ) the Unichip. I can't get hold of the gear to do it at this stage. Unichip won't talk to public I'm not spending $300 P/hr on dyno runs 400km awayas will be making 3 engine size changes 3.9 to 3.5 then to other.

I started the 14cux thread hoping for some leads on Unichip. but......
Not sure what you mean by people have wrong idea I don't care if people say thay are a POS Should see the faces when they out do the rivals.
All I want to do is stick a Blower on it with duel fuel, make run properly. As I said before it has to swim and do remote travel and not strand us.
Don't worry I won't toss the Uni Chip as I have a 4.4P76 2 door Rangie here that crying out for EFI.
I have come across the Haltech and Delco VN loom by chance. As a bloke could not be bothered to work out how to set it up and put a Chiped Delco back in his blown commy.
If I use a commodore fuel and Ignition can be repaired anywhare in Aus.
As Rovercare said if the EFI dies just chuck a points dizzy and coil on,flick to gas and drive away. So would be reliable either way.

I'm missing something here I don't seem to be able to post pics with the Manage Attachments.(Used to work) They seem to up load ok but I can't attach them to the thread as before. Can some one give me a gentle hint


OK we seem to have Thumbnails now.
1st pic is the 89 as it was when I purchased it for $2500
2nd is Lift and flares etc
3rd 35s on 15x8
4th Moton Island
last My toy lathe making a fiting for GMH O2 sensor. (Notice coolant, using a fish tank pump)

More bits and bobs.

Using MD 3-4 front axles so I can change to County type CVs if I need to.

Cleaning thread on 02 weild on fitting.

02 sensor ready to fit

Man, I am sooooooooooooooooooo jealous!! Look at that shed full of goodies, you must have done something right in your previous life

Disco and RR are both good....

BUT for the same year in a RR you get a disco for 1/2 that price...

94 RRC Vogue SE..... $7-8k
94 Disco $3-4k

both have same engine, same gearbox, same diffs, same chassis

one is lighter..... and cheaper....

Why.... they forgot to give it style looks and feel.... but as a Bush POS, who cares......
