Hey guys, so suddenly my 60 is missing the ignition feed to the cab. Vehicle still starts and the radio still works but I have no A/C or accessories operational. If I back feed to the ignition wiring (I have battery and ignition on a plug for my gauge) and if I back feed ignition from battery...

I have it running return and supply using the original petrol return and supply lines, i did read that people T it back into the supply line but doesn't seem like a great idea having hot diesel going straight back into the system.

Thanks, i replaced the fuel primer as i requested the diesel shop fit a bosch closed fuel primer but they fitted the screw down type. I replaced that and still the same.

Hi guys, I feel a bit silly asking for help as I'm an apprentice mechanic and should be able to work this out on my own but I really can't. I rebuilt the 12ht for my truck (fj62). Everything's new but the turbo. Now the drama I have is it seems to be bleeding back I assume, I can pump the primer...

Hi guys, The FSM from Toyota states to use a defective style torque wrench to measure preload (1.9-2.5nm) on the pinion bearings when replacing them. My only drama is I have no access to a torque wrench of this style, I've even asked other people in my area and no one has one. What other way...

HDJ100 should be 1hd-fte 24 valve? Here in Australia they are at least.

Hey all, So I currently have a 1986 Hj61 12ht cruiser. I guess it's alright but I'm over finding rust and spending more money and time working on it than i do driving, my love for the car has died. I am wanting something newer. I have my eye on a few HDJ100's (1hd-fte motor) with the 5 speed...

Thanks! I recently had the rust cut out of it and the boys sprayed Valvoline tectyl into the inside of the roof and in the one spot it actually seeped right through a pin hole!!

Hey guys, I've spent a lot of time and money getting my 60's roof rust free. I was thinking of possibly fitting a roof rack but I read some guys saying it's a big no-no as these trucks are very prone to rust in the roof. Is there any way to get around this? Or am I better off not fitting one...

G'day guys, Just after some info regarding a diesel swap into an 80/105. The motor i want to swap is a 1hdt as i'll be able to get the motor itself and rebuild it for less than what a 1hdt is worth. My question is, what do i need to know about doing this swap? I've read that petrol/diesel...

Exactly what i thought mate. Thanks for that!

Hi guys, running a 12ht motor currently at stock 8psi of boost. I am hoping to up the boost to 13-15psi (hoping to get a high flowed turbo soon.) My question is, would you bother running an intercooler for 13-15psi? I personally think i should then a couple of people told me they wouldn't bother...

Thanks, im not looking for a crazy amount of relief just enough so it's not super rough, will only have the spare wheel hanger on the back.

Thanks a lot for all the answers guys! I know what my weekend will consist of then

I assume that would be referring to the first one that is no moulded around the ey mounts?
