Looking forward to these being added to the site to complete the NCF!

The viscosities in your attached photo are in line with what is recommended for GCC. Most cruisers here run viscosities on the higher end of that graph.

The 80 Series community would be forever grateful if you could upload a scanned copy of that rare 80 Series NCF!!

I had the exact same issue when replacing my throttle cable. Fully loose it works fine now.

Some of what you are describing is normal when cold. There is a fast idle cam that will shoot up the revs when cold and will disengage once you push on the throttle. The 1FZ-F has multiple systems in place to improve cold start and drivability but they all need to be working and adjusted...

OEM Carb and OEM Throttle cable? I had a sticky throttle when running an aftermarket carb or throttle cable that was adjusted too tight. All 1FZ-F have mechanical fuel pumps.

First, I would confirm that you have the correct amount of refrigerant. Then, you should confirm that the front magnet valve (under the LH Headlight area) and expansion valve for the cool box are both functional.

This thread is a sight for sore 1FZ-F 80 eyes. Here is my 1994 VX-R with a similar cloth seat and no sunroof combo. PS We have the same Hot Wheels :cool:

Nothing I love more than a derelict Land Cruiser being given a new life and enjoyed. If Amazon SA is anything like Amazon AE you should be able to find some great value Amazon branded all weather mats. I have a set on my 80 and they have saved my carpet a couple of times.

In my eyes, no 4WD is complete without locking hubs, and although their usefulness is heavily debated, everyone can agree that they look great on an old truck. The hunt began for a set of genuine Aisin free wheel hubs (lots of fakes around - hi @John Young ). As far as I can tell these were...

About a year after installing the Dobinsons shocks they had broken in nicely and were much more comfortable on the road but the steering feel was not confidence-inspiring on rough roads on or off the road. I had always assumed it could not be from the factory steering damper since that was brand...

I also recall reading something similar but I can confirm that after unplugging my amp in the dash, all my speakers are still functional.

The head unit was great but it revealed a glaring problem: I only had two working but extremely blown speakers on the rear doors. This 80 was a factory "9 Speaker System" So my plan was to upgrade everything following the build theme. I ended up going with a full set of Pioneer speakers +...

The plan with this 80 was always to have a nice cruiser (pun intended) for longer trips whilst retaining the 90s nostalgia. Therefore OEM+ was the only way. No road trip is complete without tunes and maps so naturally a sound system upgrade was in order. The head unit that came with the car...
