I am sure most 80 owners know the usual leak situation from improperly installed windshields. I have been calling local shops and nobody seems to care too look at the manual regarding the procedure for installing the windshield in an 80 series. They just treat it like any modern car direct to...

I have a creampuff JDM 1995 1HD-FT Triple locker AUTO with about 170,000 KM. 6M1 Dark emerald pearl. It is a VX limited. Single owner in japan, registered right until before auction. I have the auction sheet, and it was a grade 4 truck. Interior is impeccable, even the seat back map pocket...

Hi, PM SENT! Thank you

Hi, Desparately looking for this box under the dash. Long story short, mine has a hole in it after it fell. It can come complete with innards no problem. 1995 RHD 80 series with r134A a/c Thank you

My Injection Pump also makes a ticking noise that is alleviated only sometimes by pressing the hand primer. Its more of a high pitched metallic rattle though. Like a rhythmic TTTTT TTTTT TTTTT TTTT TTTT lol. Sounds a bit like a rattling heat shield. Depending on my coolant temp, it goes...

Hi Mdej3, We will definitely be talking soon. I will be moving to West palm beach within the next 2 or 3 months so I will be even closer to you. I want this rust treated and fixed properly since I am using the truck as a daily driver LOL. I'll shoot you an email. Thanks!

So I have both a RHD and a LHD 80 series in my house. 1995 RHD & 1994 LHD OEM # applicable here are 88501-60111 RHD 88501-60101 LHD I ordered a spare RHD Denso evaporator on ebay from Australia to play it safe with any incompatibilities. Unfortunately, the evaporator arrived to the USA in...

Darne, would you have further info regarding the neoprene you used for your blend doors? How compressible is it? I ordered some "soft" poron open cell foam in 1/4 inch thickness. Looking at the non compressed sections of my original foam, this seems to be about the right thickness. My...

Thanks for the tip!

I don't like to leave threads abandoned. I tackled this job last week, and for a RHD HDJ81, its safe to say that the whole blower and recirculation door unit comes out without removing the dash and support bar as noted on the FSM. It was pretty easy. All my sealing foams are shot. No wonder I...

Hello all, As the title says, I am looking for a quality and trustworthy shop that can (properly) fix and paint a rust spot on my 80. It is the common area under the cargo windows at the C pillar level. Cost or location are not really an issue, But I am located in S. Florida. Any...

Parts of West coast FL are pretty bad. We were spared down here in Miami.

Hello, The sealing foam on my recirculation doors are rotted and allowing fumes and dust to enter the cabin. I have my evaporator box out for cleaning and was wondering if the whole dash needs to come out to also remove the blower/recirculation assembly (the whole box). The manual states...

Just saw a little bulge at the rubber seal. I have many old Yotas. I can smell rust at this point. Luckily im not in the rust belt, but we get plenty of rain.

I thought of the same thing, but inspecting the area below the window seal briefly with a plastic trim remover, it seems that some areas are worn or missing paint down to the primer or e coat, and other areas are black all the way into the pinch weld. Its almost as if the paint has worn off over...
