yeh me too... I guess he couldn't hear the noise so decided no problem. Do you think that would cause the movement in the exhaust? It would have to mean the engine itself is moving around a lot eh?

Ok so I gave the exhaust a good few heaves and found its knocking, which sounds similar, and theres a small metal wear mark in that place. But it would have to be fair moving around to do this (like an inch) ...why? Checked the transmission mount - no breaks in seals around bolts, but I did lift...

Right oh, I'll check the mounts in the morning, you could well be right. Thanks for your help

yeh its not clunky enough for exhaust - its a real thump, thump, thump ...like only when under load so climbing up a hill at 100km, then as the old girl slows and I drop it down say from 5th to 4th thats when it starts, and as I drop it into 3rd it really kicks in. So down to 2nd to crawl up the...

It would be bolts rather than the rubber mount itself eh?

Hmmm, it sounds like its rotating eh, but i guess it would if it was out of balance and loose. I haven't tested the mount bolts so might have to hav a look at them. Check engine mounts but they seem sound

Got an issue with some knocking, probably better described as thumping, in my landcruiser. It only happens going uphill and under load. It feels like it's under my feet but may not be. I've checked the drive shafts and UJs and there doesn't appear to be play in them. The transfer box appears to...

Cheers for your thoughts - not running too heavier gear on the front now, but thats good to consider. Be interesting to know if i need to get certified with that engine mod weight difference too. any thoughts on keeping the 1PZ and chucking a turbo on it, along with a beefed up tranny? This...

Yeh true, i wonder what the difference is - bound to be a Q in the forum on that one So is the general rule to beef up suspension to combat the weight difference? Yeh its always a weigh up between cost & benefit eh

Hi all, Just considering my options to swap out a 1PZ for a 1HD-FT - research suggests it would be a good option performance wise. Now I need to know ... Will a 1HD-FT fit into a '91 Landcruiser LX Would I be looking for a H151 tranny to go with it? Yes manual 5 spd preferred. Anything else I...

Once again appreciate your advice - sounds like the H151 is the preferred pairing for a 1HD-FT Yeh you guys it getting it pretty bad eh - its all on the news eh with Sydney and that, but yeh clean little NZ just starting sneezing the other day again :confused:

hey cheers for that - you're right a good set of info. Yep mines got the R151F gearbox Theres a 1HDFT engine locally by its got an auto attached - I'd prefer a 5spd manual. So I'll need to figure out if thats swappable Key thing is figuring out what will fit eh - like will straight 6cyl fit...

Hi all, from NZ, hope you are all doing well. I have a 91 LX with a 1PZ (thats the 5 cyl 3.5lt non-turbo - 5spd manual)...keen to understand what I can replace it with as it has possible major engine issue. Could replace with the same BUT if I'm going to do that might as well consider what else...
