Timing belt kit, air filter, and fuel filter are on its way. Wouldnt know anyone here who does small diesels. Most diesels here for commercial or big rigs. So pretty much on my own here.

Prob would change the floater down the line. Is usually sluggish. Whenever i fill up it usually takes some time to rise. Maybe changing it might change that? I own a kzj78 RHD from japan. 1kz diesel. First time diesel and LC owner.

1kz non intercooled. Planning to slap on a water to intercooler down the line. I have white/grey smoke on my morning start up. But as far as idling pretty norm. Just smells like im at bus yard. Ive seen smoke when i stomp on it. But it was at night. Hope the car behind me didnt have there...

Woah woah woah....left hand drive? How?

At the moment havent taken any super scientific measurments on how much gas usage i would say 11 mpg. Usually half tank last me a few days average like 15 miles a day on my daily commute.

Hello all, Just wondering hows is your fuel consumption on the 1kz non intercooled. Planning to add a water to air intercooler in the future. First time diesel engine owner here. I always here diesels are great on mileage. But for me personally the needle dips faster than my V6 taco. Even when...

Did you check your battery initally? Might be low. Sometimes I tend to over look the easiest solution.

Panel beating here seems like a lost art. Most if not all are production paint and body. Ive looked around once I show em turn me down right away. Currently working on getting panels on island. Air freight charges aren't that bad.

Maybe might be a option.

Im trying to avoid ordering international shipping. Hopefully someone chimes in on a us base supplier.

Hello all, Just recently got my prado in. Although it was a too good to be true price, I was greeted with the reality of "you get what you pay for." rust issues in various places. Especially the wheel wells and rocker panels. Ill prob update with pics but it just makes me depressed whenever I...

Planning to lift eventually. 285 is just shy of 33. Visually it is the sweet spot im settling at.

What tire size and rim you guys running? How big/wide can I go without poking out of the fender flares? How big can I go without a spacer? Currently debating on 285/75/16 Might move up to 17 inch rims since I wanna try those Kenda Klevers I keep reading about.

Not a bad view. Most def still doable. Thanks! Clears up alot on my mind. Cant wait for mine to come in.

How was the view? Was worried since it wasnt centered.
