Hey all, looking at upgrading to a larger radiator but I’m stumped on the part numbers and which one is which with the hzj79s having the early ones with the smaller rad vs the later having larger (same as hdj79) PN: TO1640017401 listed as hzj79 Vs PN: TO1640017360 which is hdj79 Anyone with...

Dam was hoping it was as simple as the old fj62 board. Jumping these wires will that still go through the cycle and not freeze up ?

Hey all, just finishing up an ac install in a fj73 that is now a hzj73. All the ac parts are from a hzj79, and I just need to know what wires/ parts to cut/adapt to get rid of the idle up function and rpm functions as it was petrol and gas swapped to diesel so the tacho doesn’t work anymore...

Hey all, Finishing up installing the ac in my fj73 that’s being engine swapped with a 1hz, but can’t figure out what to do with the likes of the ac amplifier. All the parts for the ac that I got came from an early hzj79 -compressor -evaporator -control panel -drier receiver is new and so is the...

Awesome that’s good news. Nothing crazy just lots of built up gunk, water and brake fluid and the “shim” made its way into the bore and was in pieces. Seems it just needed a good clean and a few new parts nothing major which is great. Yeah that’s a good point it wasn’t a fun job to do might as...

Took the calipers apart fully and have given it all a clean, all the rubber seals are in good condition and from what I can see the pistons are good too happy to hear everyone’s thoughts on if I can just put it all back together again, not sure about the bores of the pistons though

Ahhh thank you I’ll give it a crack tomorrow

Flushed the coolant fully and no bad signs there as well as the thermostat doing its job properly, finally got it on jack stands and definitely resistance on both wheels with the car in neutral so off they came and this is where I’m at now. After a couple pumps of the brakes the pistons on the...

Update Took out the thermostat looks really clean and tested in a pot of boiling water and watched it open fully and relatively quick too

So on the rear of the booster ? Where about’s is it

The problem only came about after I had installed the 80 series booster and master cylinder. Yeah aftermarket, I’ve reverse flush the heater core but definitely worth doing the radiator too. I’ll have a look at the pressure tester too might be worthwhile. Yeah it’s front discs and looking like...

Engine oil just below full, no visible leaks after cleaning underbody and radiator. Levels all up to standard was put in early this year and pretty sure around the 2000s. Shouldn’t be any gunk but it’ll be worth flushing the radiator. Fans engaging, Is testing for it to be pressurised by it...

Temp gauges and only theory behind brakes is the previous drive I had to pull over due to the same issue but the brakes were smoking and since they’ve been bled again but still think they make be stuck slight on

Over heating issue Fj73 with 1hz-T in it, after installing a 80 series brake booster and master cylinder from a wreckers and changing all my oils the water temp is reaching 100 c on a normal freeway drive that would never normally happen and egts are getting up to 500-550c. Radiator is 2 years...

Yeah it might get to the point of a radiator shop I’ve got one not too far from me. Yeah I’ve been told it’s not a fun job to get to either. Yeah it’d definitely be worth doing!
