I hear ya on the $ side of things - mate, I have to deal with USD:AUD exchange. In terms of "size", what are you after? The cable that came with the package that I bought was fabricated by the supplier (refer pic). The cable itself is 600 mm long. You can see from the pic that the Speedbox...

Understood but you don't appear to be aware of the product name that I mentioned: SPEEDBOX (WITHOUT Mechanical Cable) GPS/VSS to Mechanical Drive Speed Converter - https://speedhut.com/supershops/speedbox-without-mechanical-cable-gps-vss-to-mechanical-drive-speed-converter/ and the concept of...

I know you're not keen on a GPS but I'd suggest you suss out a speedbox setup. It converts the gps signal to drive the mechanical speedo. That might give you enough WAF to make it with with your other half. .. also, as long as you're not doing regular tunnel travel, then it's a feasible...

I've got an LN167R, 5L, turbo - 3" exhaust installed (up from stock 2" system) as part of the turbo upgrade. From what I've picked up around the place, there's a lot of commentary that opening up the exhaust won't do a great deal for an NA engine like a 3L or 5L. However, if the engine is...

Now your talking. A pressure sensor needs to tap in somewhere to get a reading. Do your research (check youtube for vids put up by Berrima Diesel on tuning as one starting point) but mine tells me that lean will be OK, the engine just won't run !!!great!!! Running rich (according to sources...

I've got a Garrett GBC17-250 36mm turbo hooked up to my LN167R and its 5L engine and the only liquid it needs to operate is oil. From what I can see on the Garrett website, the GT2554 looks like its designed with the same philosophy. If it's water cooled then I can't see obvious signs of a...

A vid popped into my feed that shows the RAG method of plumbing in the oil return (RAG = rough as guts) - cued for convenience (it's a 3L but the principle is the same): Your choice on how you go. The fan on my ute has the oil sump fitting welded - I prefer a good job over a quick job. Also...

Regarding this question: I'd defer to the experience of the HD Auto guys down at Rocklea: The vid is cued to the segment relating to the oil return and the fun & games associated with a 4WD IFS front end. Note that they supply a Garrett turbo that uses metallurgy that can handle high...

I don't hold shares in any of the companies whose products were tested in this article: http://genieperformance.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/4WD-Action-air-filter-test.pdf This site uses a Land Cruiser 200 as its test bed: LandCruiser 200 Air Filter Testing - Project 200 -...

In terms of typical maintenance schedules, I found the info posted by Toyota Gibraltar handy for my own purposes: https://www.toyota-gib.com/eng/aftersales/maintenance-schedules.html Click on the "Previous Models" section and take a look at "Hilux (pre 2006)". Even though it mentions 2L and 3L...
