Amayama is the BOMB- Hauling parts out of Dubai is insanely cheap compared to the Aus market, and i dont think you'll have an issue being in NZ either.

Use http://www.japan-parts.eu/ to get your part numbers and send in an inquiry at https://www.amayama.com/en/ and see what happens!

Theeeeoretically a 1HZ will fit into those and get you another 30KW and a poo poo load of torque without a timbo system.

Comedy option- drop in the 1KZ. They did make a KZJ7x land cruiser

11.4L/100 is better than mine! It averages about 13.5 on the muddies! But it does make probably 4x the power of yours for that extra 2L/100 :v:

Opening them up a bit does help- I had extractors and a 2" pipe on my old 2.8D hilux and it did make a significant difference, especially up top where it no longer struggled to wheeze its way past 3200rpm but would actually rev all the way to 4000!

Id say the only way that they would notice the difference between engines if it magically wound up with a HD series engine jammed into it. (speaking of, theres a mad fucker in Aus at the moment whos jamming a 100 series 1HD-FTE into a HJ40 shorty....)


NZ definately isnt as relaxed as Aus is for engine swaps- Here in South Australia you can pull the 1HZ out of a 105 series and drop in a 1HD-FTE out of a 70 series or 100 series and all you have to do to make it legal is have a piece of paperwork stating that you legally bought the new engine and they check to make sure the engine numbers match your paperwork and then amend their computer systems to reflect the new engine number!

Had been having some starting issues on cold mornings, running rough with really high oil pressure and missing on one cylinder, also idling low. Changed engine oil and filter, air filter and adjusted the idle. With that and the new exhaust it seems noticeably better to drive. Idles much happier at 600 rpm than 300 too

Also got carried away and wiped a bunch of stuck on gunk off my valve cover, injector pump etc on the grounds that I'll be able to see any leaks better (actually I just wanted a clean engine). Really need to get some spray degreaser in there

Cold mornings would make me suspect a dead glow plug that means youve got one cylinder not firing until it gets the bore up to temp

Master cylinder blowing a seal internally would just bypass any fluid pressure straight back into the reserviour without any external leaks.

So do you have NO brakes or just really crappy brakes? If you have No brakes, look master cylinder, if you have SOME brakes but its like jamming your foot into a tree stump look at the booster and its associated lines.

Cheapest first step is bleed the whole system and see what you get!

Ah. Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel strikes again. Makes old injector pumps leak.

A diesel injector specialist should be able to just replace the shaft seals, but eventually all of the rubber seals on the pump will start to leak, and unfortunately most of the time when you crack open an old pump they're so worn out that its not worth the effort to just re-seal it without a pump rebuild too. Which of course isnt cheap.

The Maxxis AT980 is a drat good tyre- mum n dad are running them on my old nutso hilux and despite how much power that thing shoves out the back end and how tail happy it is they do a drat good job of gripping and not wearing out badly and my mates got em on his TD100 series and absolutely raves about them.

And gently caress ME those BFG AT prices are insane- I only paid $375ea for 285/75R16 Toyo Muds! I absolutely love my toyo muds (rate them way over the BFG muds I used to run) and my mates got their AT II's on his HDJ80 and loves em on that, got about 10K kms on them with no real noticeable wear.


11L/100 aint bad at all... makes my 13.7 seem pretty bad (until you realise my 100 series probably weighs at least two tonnes more than yours, and probably makes 4x the horsepower....)

KM2's. They werent a BAD tyre, its just that the toyos are a BETTER tyre.

Tho normally the toyos in 285/75R16 are north of $400 a pop.

And Holy Shitsnacks at those prices for the toyos! You'd nearly be better off getting a set from australia when they have their "5 for 4" deals going and then slowboating them over!

Whats a 3B? 3.4L?

I'd say the genuine toyota CT12 off a 2.4TD or 3.0TD surf would be perfectly sized for it (The next toyota turbo up is a CT26 which they bolt to the 4.0 and 4.2 motors, so its probably a tad big to spool properly. And its as big as your loving head) and you guys have so many of them over there that there should be a few of em kicking around by now.

Yep- busted fuel primer pump killed my old mans hilux dead one morning- let in a tonne of air and she refused to start.

Tho generally a busted primer pump will make it be a bitch to start full stop as the whole pump aerates the fuel, not just a single cylinder. Glowplugs on a non direct injection diesel will make it flat out refuse to fire on a cylinder until you do enough compression cycles to get it up to temp.

Glow plugs arent very expensive and you've only got 4 of them!

Generally if its a diesel leak externally its a simple O ring thats shat the bed- generally the one underneath the throttle rod lets go first as it gets the most wear, then the ones sealing in the various sensors and switches (tacho and fuel cut off normally) go.

Most of them are actually replacable on vehicle too. Although having a 1985 BJ73 with a rotary pump is odd- the 3B didnt come with a rotary pump until 1988 on AU landed trucks

You might find it actually starts and idles now anyway because if those seals were letting diesel out, then they certainly were letting air into the pump.

Yeah my shed is 9m x 6.2m... Its still not big enough.

Go high tho, I got 2.8M under my roller door (4m high roof peak) and do NOT regret that at all. Give you options- we're putting a mezzanine in at the workshop end for storage to get poo poo up off the floor!

Thats the 2nd rust repair your trucks had on that windscreen surround- the gold strip is silicone bronze MIG wire. Doesnt burn as hot as normal steel wire so you don't distort panels as badly and doesnt rust like normal steel wire.

Chances are you just need a repack and a retension- depending on how long ago they were done ive found toyotas always need their wheel bearings snugged up again after about 10K kms because they bed in that little bit more.

Dont waste your time with the hub gaskets unless they're genuine, they'll only leak grease if theyre aftermarket paper ones. I just use a smear of RTV and its golden.

I change mine out on the 100 series every 100K kms (or if i ruin them by running them tight or getting water in there and getting rust damage)

The original set on the old LN106 hilux went 200K kms before they got changed and got repacked every 60K kms.

More likely is that the inner axle seals are shot (they always fail) and its filled the swivel hubs with a lovely blend of gear oil and moly grease, which turns into the nastiest, soupiest bullshit blend of awful fuckery you can possibly spill onto your garage floor.

Some of the 80 series engines had 24v starters and 12v systems through some insane complicated system. On my 100 series turbo diesel toyota just fitted two N50 sized batteries in parallel and run that through a 3.5kw starter motor.

Makes it a piece of piss to do a dual battery system cos you just fit two N70's and drop an isolator into the link cable and bobs your uncle. They'll start just fine on a single battery well into the negatives cos they're direct injection diesels.

Ours here in SA has been the driest on record for 60 years- we've had less rain in the entire month of june so far than we normally get as a daily average!

Its great for a job that works outside, but its not good for anyone whos farming or reliant on rainwater for their homes.
