  1. Good Afternoon all, Firstly, first post, so apologies in advance if this is in the wrong spot or anything like that. So, I have mucked around with boosted straight 6 diesels for the last few years, my current means of transport was a company car and I had a Factory Turbo 80 series Land Cruiser as a weekend truck. The Cruiser was (Still is actually) the dream truck and I have thrown a bit of cash at her. For those of you that are familiar with the world of performance Jap diesels she has the 1HD-T 4.2 I6 engine, 600x400x76mm top mount Cross Country intercooler with a 900CFM Spal fan, GTurbo BadBoy turbo running 25 psi, XXi 12mm fuel pump, Moonlight Fabrications airbox, XXi 1000nm clutch, Raslarr 4" snorkel, 3" straight pipe exhaust making 154rwkw at 3600rpm and 580rwnm at 1800 RPM on a fairly conservative tune (17:1 AFR pre boost, 20:1 on boost, leaning out to 21:1 above about 3000rpm) so it goes pretty hard for a 2.6 tonne lifted truck. Now, since that time I've moved interstate, changed jobs and the cruiser has become the daily driver. However, I'm doing a lot more longer distance travelling now so the old cruiser isn't quite ideal for this with a happy cruising speed of about 108 km/h and no cruise etc etc. Hence the following question: I'm thinking of picking up a 2010ish G6ET - In my books it should be a comfortable highway vehicle, a bit of power for overtaking and the nice power delivery of a boosted 6. So, given that wound up diesels, specifically Toyota Land Cruisers is the main extent of my vehicular knowledge, I'd really appreciate a bit of guidance as to what to expect, what to look for, what to avoid and so on. Thank you in advance! And PS, if anyone is looking for a pretty mint 80 series...
