Looking for some advice before I embark on this venture. I have a 2001 79 Series (1HZJ79R) that is burning oil and is well down on power and so I have decided that it is is need of a rebuild. I have already completed this process on my 1KZTE Hilux and have fitted and run in a new head on my 80...

The kit I bought came with 2 paired wireless fobs with the provision to program others in the unit base. This is the unit I purchased...

Luckily I think you're right in that the '94 is a lot simpler as far as I can tell. It does have the facility to stoop you from locking the doors if a door is open but this only seems to apply to the drivers door so it will still let you lock the doors with any other door open but it will flip...

One of the small luxuries I gave up when I took ownership of the 80 was wireless central locking... Until I bought a $20 wireless receiver to actuate the keyed central locking from a distance. As I was going about installing it I went to search for a wiring diagram and found it more difficult...

So... after additional usage of my 80 I have determined that the throttle idle up "Choke" knob needs to be held at approximately 1900rpm for the first shot duration of driving or until the engine has warmed up to operating temperature. Once it is up to temp it works well as stated before but for...

Ended up replacing the entirety of the vacuum hose loop and no change there unfortunately but the hoses are nice, new and bendable again aha If I come to a conclusion I will post it here :)

I think the whole...

Had the mechanic look over the car and although he didn't have time to compression test or leakdown test (Very late notice booking with a very busy mechanic) he identified a couple of possible issues that I will look into. Firstly he noticed that the MAF was at one point siliconed back together...

Yeah it's been lifted and I forgot to mention the new shocks I put in too but I am pretty pleased to say the least! It did yeah, the crack was behind cylinder 4's intake valves seemingly because it was burning Coolant but no pressure was making it back into the Coolant loop...... The valves...

Mine is doing the exact same and I'm going to get it tested (Compression and Leakdown) tomorrow so if I find anything I'll post it here.

Hi there, Just took ownership of this 1994 Land Cruiser. Since it came into the family I have: - Torn down the engine (1 FZ-FE) and replaced the cylinder head completely with a brand new one - Disassembled swivel hubs, cleaned down and re-greased all components - Disassembled and cleaned...
