Hi There, We may be able to help. I am located in Melbourne, Australia and have previously exported a couple of personal vehicles to the USA in the past along with a some old land rovers. Mainly I import cars from USA back to Australia, have been doing so for nearly 20 years and also on a...

Hi All, Just picked up an Australian Delivered HZJ105 and after much trouble and searching here I worked out how to read the codes. This is a 1HZ Diesel and I have Airbag Light and Check Engine (Glow Plug Light) showing. Codes I got after shorting the TC and CG Pins in my connector are as...

I am looking at wiring spotlights to my reverse lights. I need to find a source near the dash board for a reverse light signal. My 60 is chopped into a pickup so I don't want to run more wires externally under the car to switch and relay. Does anyone know closest wire location and color of...

Maybe a silly question but when you are applying this with a roller how hard is it do the tight areas like the roof gutters etc? Are you using a brush or can you still get it in there with the roller?

Hi Guys, Any recommendations for exhaust manifolds? I am in Australia and I am running the extractors from a monaro (GTO in the USA). They are a better fit than the stock cast manifolds. But they are still very close to the rail and I had to massage one side with a hammer and move the brake...

I guess I figured that being a 1980 model then it was not that rare. I actually got the vehicle for free. I will have to start looking for parts and I would like to work with as much genuine toyota stuff as possible. That is why I am now trying to work out what I need. Cheers

So I guess I have to work out what is the best setup to run 38's? What are other people running and what is the best combination for steering and brakes etc? Cheers

Hi All, I am just about to start a ground build up of my HJ45 Troop Carrier in Australia. Similar to your FJ40's. I am planning on a full build up from the Chassis Up. But I need a lot of help and information. I will be running a big block Chev and will mate this to the standard 4 speed and...
