Thread: Anyone got a new Mazda BT50?

Not just nissan. It plugs in after (or before - I'm not sure) the ecu and controls the diesel side of things. So still have the ecu failsafes etc but more power...

that chip takes his to 142kw ill find out what one he has as id still have more stanard? might be still bit tight been new maybe

i dont know what his chip is ill fine out but shes quick, even gives the altezza a run for its money

I drove a new ranger then drove it again once it had a few kays on it. A different truck then, freed up heaps & went quite a bit better... Get the chip though and let me know how good it is... I'm quite keen as I have a chip in my turbo Falcon, makes a BIG difference

and you can take it out of the system if you take it in for a service.

Or in the claws case, when all the extra boost blows a turbo pipe to bits you take it off before you put it in for a warrenty claim

brakes are for girls

Gotta eat my words. The new BT50 is the shizzle. I love it!
Sure the looks are a bit different but actually are better in the flesh and it goes like an absolute animal.

I had a BT50 for the day for a test. Unfortunately for Mitsubishi I had a Hilux the day before to test. BT50 goes ok without a load but with a trailer on and the back full of tools it was horrible. I much prefer the STX in looks and how it drives. The BT50 is too much like a car(if that makes sense).
I went for the Hilux. Even though in standard form it is incapable of anything remotely 'off road'.

Is it 5 cyl 6 speed like the fords?

The hilux or bt50 is incapable?

Chris

3.2l, 5 cylinder. Off the same Thai production line as the Ranger

Auto be good 6 speed manual with a nice torquey desile seems a waste of time , which did you get?

6 speed manual. No big deal. Lotsa torque so any gear goes!

I went with an auto Ranger, really liking it although needs a few more km on it to loosen up a bit...

Ive had both manual and auto ST-X's and the manual won hands down in the KMs per tank of gas
