our turbo diesel gets new oil every 5000 (no matter what) .... I have concerns about the XRT requiring an oil change every 15000 ... "oil's ain't oils" my XRT is getting its 1st oil change and filter at 3000 !! as for the rest ...I'll wait and see

at work we have got a ten year old Toyota 80 series Turbo Diesel Landcruiser..... it weeps a lttle from the various seals, done about 300000 km ... and we simply can't kill the thing (as much as we try ) love turbos .... including the Jap ones .....

only waited a few days for mine .... lucky I guess!!

maybe I'm asleep ... where to I read this story ...

I think the 200sx reminds me most of the XRTs (as far as Jap turbos go) .... rear wheel drive .. well balanced .... the XRT has no "real" turbo lag and a sh!t load of torque early in the rpm, consequently in real terms can not be compared to Jap turbos having owned a 200sx and driven lots of blown-ricers, it is apples compared to oranges the cars we are talking about all have their good and bad points and are all fun to drive

240T ... you guys won't be disappointed !!! I absolutely love my ute, it feels the best balanced out of the XRT/XR8/Pursuit and is a dream to drive ... not as bad as I thought it would be in the wet too (which was a real bonus)... the black ... so is mine ... awesome !!!! (keeps you busy washing but who cares lol) .. fingers crossed for you

the front doors are enormous, plenty of rear room (as per 4door)... a bit claustrophobic (spelling) in the rear as the windows don't open... I didn't like it much as I had hoped ... 35 gorillas to shread off two doors is a little over the top for me ... (my XRT ute cost me that much (on the road!!!))

qjconn - petrol cap as per AU (Auger at Supercheap auto) fitted like a glove .... got to love the ute

love the last one .... it just goes and goes and goes and goes

richdave ... only one remote for utes .... Ford made me pay $80 extra for the second one after I spent $900 with them for an alarm ... which only used the Ford "keypad" (yes they handed the car over armed and only one remote to turn it off .... the spare key set the alarm off !!! )

:grininvasion:

the XRT utes dislikes :( 1. no lockable fuel cap 2. only one remote key pad 3. the car jack just lies loose in the cabin 4. the 17" alloys could have had lock nuts 5. traction control might be handy 6. option for third brake light might have been handy 7. premium sound is a rip off (in a ute) 8. could have upgraded the reversing lights likes 1. the rest

I have a Feb build ute and my better half has a Nov build sedan .... I reckon her's is louder than mine..... She reckons mine is louder than hers .... she gernerally wins
