Looks like one of the standard sizes. I cracked my sump open last year to inspect my bearings. Here's what mine had in it. Looks to be original and it had 294k km (182k mi) when I popped it open.

I picked up an 80 with the 1HD-FT last year and although I know the FT is supposed to not have BEB issues I wanted to find out for sure and replace them since it’s at 294k km. I had no idea what size to order so I dropped the pan to find out. In hindsight, I wish I ordered a bunch of bearings in...

It runs true and the belt doesn't ride anywhere close to the edge so I buttoned it all back up. I usually order parts from Amayama usually since I'm in Japan and it says the pulley has a lead time of 17-42 days! I'm going to order it.. but since I'm going on a trip for two months in October I...

I tried going in deep enough to replace my water pump preventively. But I got stuck early as I just could not get this stupid can gear off. It’s like it’s welded on. I found a puller that fits at a local shop but the teeth on it just bend. I’m not sure more force is really going to help preserve...

Mine is a JDM VX Limited HDJ81. My shocks did have an electrical connector for this feature

Mine lit up with a green light in sport mode until I installed OME shocks. When it “worked” I honestly couldn’t tell a difference between normal and sport but my shocks were old I suppose

^ anyone know where I can find just one of these rain guards to replace a missing one? I need a left/front one. (US driver side/Japan passenger side)

Where can I buy this EGR blanking plate? Looking to also install a PDI intercooler and junk the EGR.

Glad to hear it worked out! And welcome to the JDM diesel club!

Sorry that I'm just now seeing your message. Where is the black box? I'd be happy to take a look at mine for you

Thanks for the diagram! I'll give it a try this weekend

I have an HDJ81v - it's a 1996 with the 1HD-FT engine. I installed a backup camera and need a signal to tell the camera I'm in reverse. It's an auto transmission. Anyone know where to find a diagram or have experience wiring one of these up?

I tried out the 851/860 OME spring setup and have got to say, I was pretty disappointed with the amount of rake I ended up with. I realize the 1HD-FT is a little heavier than the 1FZ, but I wasn't quite expecting it to be raked out quite this much. The truck is stock except for 35's. Here are...

I've figured it out! Seems like this factory remote system is uncommon and not at all the same as what was sold in the US. I could not find any information on this system on the internet. The "courtesy switch" is the switch that lets the vehicle know the door is closed. You just have press that...
