MISS BM 712 Report post Posted April 9, 2014 I have adopted the spare vehicle for a while, and have to laugh at my awesome acceleration times... You can even hear the ultimate kick down side haha It's pretty quick about 8 seconds.. And a bit (maybe add 30) http://youtu.be/tOGH2J8NXOc Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil-540i 166 Report post Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) Lols - yea, that's sloooooow!! Its a Nissan thing tho ae............. I know a guy who used to hack round in one - he hated it so much & thought it was such a girly thing as a 4WD, that he used to refer to it as a Nissan Menstral, (much like a Pulsar is a rePulsar..........) Ironically, his was that common green colour too......... Slightly biased Toyota 4WD owner this end........ Edited April 10, 2014 by Blue-540i Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gjm 3258 Report post Posted April 10, 2014 I think I was passed by one on SH1 this evening. Which just goes to show that with a ~6km run up, a diesel 4x4 travelling at 105km/h is faster than any other car travelling at 100. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It might shake like an earthquake, but it still goes! Be a crackup if it was Amberblonde that passed ya........................ If you travelling between Silverdale and Albany, it was most certainly me We are fantastic cruisers on the Mway, only have to move into 'slow vehicle' lanes on the uphills Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allanw 1071 Report post Posted April 10, 2014 I got passed by one on the way home up a steep hill - it was tapped out though... and the electric assist on my bike had stopped because someone forgot to charge it up. Otherwise I'm not convinced he'd have taken me. my bother in law has a Terrano with the same engine. I wouldn't drive it ANYWHERE I used half a tank of gas dribing it home once, because it doesn't need a throttle, it just needs a switch. When you aren't braking, it needs to be al full power. Nothing in between does anything. Father in laws diesel turbo camry was the same - My Mrs pulled out into traffic in it, and decided to stop in the median strip, because she was scared of how slow it was.

Awww, I dunno - I'm impressed with my Cruiser ute mate - more grunt than a wild pig, specially in comparison with the Hilux diesels I grew up with (They'd make a Menstral look faaast!!). Towed 16 ton of truck & trailer unit up the driveway the other day with the ute, after the driver got it wrong unloaded, & then discovered the DAF crosslock switch is permanently 'off'...............
