Thanks. I'm asking about a US 80 series that somehow got a diesel registration even though it still has the original gas engine and corresponding VIN

Thanks, all! Any thoughts on the risks of buying a US 80 series that somehow has a diesel registration, even though it still has the original gas engine and corresponding gas VIN #? I'm wondering if it's safe to diesel swap or if it may eventually be caught by an audit of VIN # vs reg. or by...

After reading up on CA emission laws, I'm of the understanding that: 1. It is ok to import and register in CA a 97 80 series with the 1HDFT motor (e.g., HDJ81) because it's over 25yrs old so federal rules waive modern emissions standards, and in CA, any diesel made before 1998 is smog exempt...

Looking for a turbo hood from a 70 series in good condition, and looking the older style lower profile scoop hood made from 2007-2016 only. Showing older scoop in the before photo vs newer after

Anyone with an hdj81 that's done these rebuilds and can provide a list of parts I should be replacing? Alao I looked for new alternator brushes and came up with nothing?

anyone with a 95-97 HDJ81 that can help me with an answer?

Seeking a turbo timer with the appropriate harness for an HDJ81 Landcruiser.

I'm trying to figure out if seats from a RHD 80 series (HDJ81) are a direct swap into a LHD 80 series. I'm reading that some RHD 80s have the seatbelt connectors mounted to the floor vs. as part of the seat on LHD 80s, but this may have changed with later (95-97) RHD 80s. Can someone with a RHD...

Does anyone still sell an ACSD delete kit? Looking for one for a '97 HDJ81 1HDFT with auto trans. Someone listed Denso #096218-0270 as an official PN. which I cannot find anywhere. I know RaddCruisers used to make a kit, which is now discontinued. If anyone can sell me one, please DM me. Located...

Thanks for the info! Do you know if they got dual airbags for the newer 80s in the Canary Islands?

After some reading, the differences between the 1fz and 1HDFT A442F include: - 2 1st gear clutches in 1HDFT version vs 1 in 1fz version - different valve bodies - different torque converters

Edit: Added "dual airbags" to the title because I'm getting a lot of responses from people selling 80s without this feature Seeking the following: - 1995-97 HDJ80/81 - Dual airbags - LHD - 1HDFT engine - Auto trans (A442F) - Triple Locked - Rear AC (optional) - Good condition, low miles...

Seeking a set in good shape

In good working condition. Bonus if you can include the shift linkage from transmission to shifter (don't need the shifter). Located in SoCal.

I've been trying to get a straight answer on the differences in the auto transmission (A442F) between the 1FZ petrol and 1HDFT diesel motors in the 80 series. From what I can find, it seems like it's the torque converter and valve body that are different, as well as the ECU. The transmission is...
