The way I understand this hose, is that it is a temp fix for a bad seal between the gearbox and the transferbox. And if the seal is fine, there is certainly no need for this hose. I'm curious, are the filler holes at the same height?

I replaced the fuel filter once on my 2H, and it was really easy. I also replaced the primary filter as I was at it (mesh screen in front of primer). I installed it dry and simply filled it up using the primer, and it ran again after that. I even ran out of fuel once, and it sufficed to just...

Has anyone ever driven both the 1hz and the 12ht? I'm curious how differ, as they are quite close on paper.

I'm not sure, an auto electrician did it. But he said he pulled it apart and cleaned it, and then it worked again. I'm guessing he indeed removed the unit from the column and disassembled it. He also said that I was lucky it was a type that could be pulled apart, because modern ones could not.

Isn't the filter a reusable mesh screen? I think the part number is 35303-60010, which was used in: Part 35303-60010 (STRAINER SUB-ASSY, OIL) was found on the following models: Date range Model Frames/Options Found in diagram 11/1984-12/1989 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER RJ70,LJ70,BJ7*,HJ75,FJ7*...

I've heard silicone spray also works well in rejuvenating rubber, it might help you a bit.

I agree with the above, preferring one from Japan over Australia. People are very very aware of how valuable these engines are, and charge accordingly. On ebay Australia, they want 5 grand for an exchange 12HT, and I saw one once that was damaged, yet still going for 4 grand. If one went for...

^Wow, how did that happen? Did a t-rex try to open the car? :D

Indeed, good one, Sved. Just curious Crick, why do you distrust JDMs, I always got the impression they were very well maintained and specced out specimens?

That is super awesome. And only 241,000 km too.

What a decent guy, giving an additional 2500 back. Though it was awesome, that engine and those miles, maybe an even better one is waiting for you. I too want to get an HJ61 one day. Planning to go to Japan on holiday eventually, and bring one along back home. Edit: just noticed the oil...

I tend to inflate to 40 up front, and 45 in the rear, on the stock alloys.

I know, I know... :) But they look similar, and the GQ doesn't rust as easily. The 80 series just looks too modern for my taste.

If no 60, then a Nissan Patrol GQ. :) Sorry.

I was once quoted about 7000 AUD by a shop in Australia. That included the transfer case too. As well as the upgraded a440f parts. Based on that, 4500 seems a bit steep. I think the a440f should always have a separate cooler.

Just throwing it out there: could it be the type of fluid? Maybe DOT4 where DOT3 is specified, or vice versa? That may explain the delay between the installation of a new cylinder and its deterioration a month later.

The option I've heard most often, is a 200ltr tank in the back, replacing the standard tank and the spare tyre.

This probably not what you're looking for, but here's what mine looks like. Cumbersome old thing, that's heavy and causes a lot of wind noise.

Don't they have the metric system in Turkey?

That's funny, all these turbo fans. I wouldn't install a turbo on my 2H even if they paid me for it. :) But, I'm glad it's working out well for you guys. Very awesome 60 and colour too.
