  5. BEAUTIFUL VIDEO @Shamil Love your editing skills, its perfect. Amazing Pictures @Mikhail Lukichev and very creative angles and close-ups. Well done guys, you made me realize that I was part of today's drive with awesome pics and videos. @Jas Gajaria love your Pajero, very tastefully done as a desert toy, looking forward to see you soon.
  6. Nice Metro description - with worlds longest sentence. And School hours are crushing everyone. That's why I dont plan to leave office or home during school bus hours, it simply double up the traffic on road and slow down the usual flow.
  7. This school bus stop sign is very useful for safety BUT it should be used only if kids, nanny or parents are crossing to the other side of the road. Rather than holding the traffic when kid is going in same direction of the bus door.
  8. Range Rover is a different engineering and you can't compare them with Japanese TBH. Secondly, V8 is always better in fuel mileage than V6 if you do lot of highway miles. Here are my ex and present cars average fuel economy: Porsche Cayenne 4.2 V8 Turbo - 18.7L/100 Mustang V8 5.0 - 13.9L/100 Range Rover 5.0 Supercharged - 17.1L/100 Trailblazer 4.2 - V6 - 16.3L/100 Pajero 3.5 - V6 - 18.8 L/100
  9. I have had the sluggish Pajero (Trademark) acceleration issue too and after doing all of the above I felt a big difference and finally settle for this much as they are reversible and RTA friendly.
  10. For more instant acceleration with "marginal" power gain I will suggest: Straight free flow exhaust pipe Borla or Magnaflow muffler. K&N filter Platinum spark plugs Relatively cheaper, no long term damage and RTA friendly mods to give you at least 75% on what you want.
  11. Yes, It's same 6G74 DOHC 3.5 Engine that comes in Pajero EVO BUT BUT BUT without Mivec head that could make this stock engine from 225 HP to 260 HP. So Im half lucky, as I can't register Pajero EVO here in UAE (right hand). Who is putting this crappiest idea in your mind....? I'm seriously curious to know. Rebore, 3.8 to 4.1 for fuel economy.....? It's going to suck more fuel buddy.
  12. Amazing video, simple and straight to the point. Well done.
  13. Morning Absolute newbie drive has been posted here: https://carnity.com/forums/topic/14398-absolute-newbie-drive-maliha-6-sep-2019 @Xaf @Avinash Vora @Michael sammy @Roshan Abraham @Raddwerf @Pradeep TP
  14. 100% WRONG buddy, RTA has a clear instruction for engine swap V6 - V6 and I4 - I4 ONLY. In extreme cases they can borderline accept slightly higher cc but it has to be in same cyl. range. When i busted my 3.5, they told me max I can go is 3.8 V6 of modern Pajero but without altering the engine mounts.
  15. 95 to 98 has a difference in fuel mileage and in performance too, but very minuscule. If you test the same car with 91 and then with 98, you will feel the difference is noticeable. MYTH FACT, but its hardly noticeable difference to the driver. It is even written on your car fuel cap if you are lazy to dig the manual. Best is to stick to what is written as OEM advice, always.
  16. You are damn right @Javier M he is our little rocket in the pocket hero. Among all the newbies we have trained, he has picked up so fast and demonstrated same with great confidence and helped others to grow faster. I was impressed from his driving when he was my second lead in Iftar bowl area, and I went in the nasty bowl and got little late to inform Fred to not to come. To my surprise he did exactly same what I did to get in and get out of that nasty spot in fraction of a second by keeping right at my tail in such a tight spot. You rarely see such quick presence of mind and adaptation in newbies.
  17. 😋 From where you start and where you end is whole different level of Desert Edition or LC Extreme stuff. They are MADE FOR desert. Period. And that's why Nissan only made 200 of these desert edition in Dubai. Btw, you should really see what Rav4 doing with us on big rolling dunes. I hope you get this as an offroader.
  18. Clue: It's not about drive, incident and any specific situation. It's about a driver (offroader). I'm really surprise how seniors are still unable to guess this driver........!
  19. From which angle this Nissan Patrol Y62 seems stock to you with metal bumpers, crazy approach and departure angles, big profile tires and whats not under the hood to keep a pace in life and death matter for Police duties. That's how you need to sell 1.8 million dirham V12 beast. For your test Cayenne, it must be fully tuned for you to push like that. I had Cayenne Turbo for 2 years and tried offroad 4 times and it never hit the required RPM band nor turbo kicked in right time. I have never seen any other Cayenne too in the desert in last 13 years of offroading in UAE. What companies market and what they sell are two different stuff.
  20. Nope, and all the guesses should be for offroad drivers as a whole instead of based on one or two drives.
  21. Guess the offroad driver: Rocket in the pocket
  22. Here comes the Supra recording the Bugatti Chiron - the fastest car in the world. I completely get it now.
  23. Are you planning this swap in UAE....?
