    Picking up this gem on Sunday

    My son has a very tidy LJ70RV Bundera but the 22R isn't exactly a powerhouse. We've been considering a diesel swap, 1KZ or similar for a while but not in front of a G52. Then this peach popped up a non runner LJ Bundy that we've purchased. Depending on what we can make of it it will be 1KZ...

    I run out of vacuum....

    Not sure how to test at home, but 5 minutes after switching off my engine I have no vacuum left in my brake system. Which is a pain in a manual trans. You stop on a really steep hill, leave the car in gear, yank on the useless hand brake lever, get out, do whatever you have to do, then to...

    Crossmember bolts freewheeling......

    So I was putting some transfer case spacers on to lower my gearbox/transfer case - I have a custom hi clearance x-member and part of doing the 1KZ swap meant moving the drivetrain back 19mm and I just don't have enough room / floor gap without lowering the pair as a result - and when doing up...

    Feels like I'm driving a boat.

    Ok it's been 14 years since my 80 has had any suspension work done. It's over GVM and handles like a land yacht. You can feel it waltzing away underneath its boggy and sloppy all at the same time... Has an RTT as well not shown in the pics just to raise the COG for good measure.. We fitted...

    Hilux  1KZ conversion RHD LN106 project

    So i decided time to upgrade from the factory 3L 2.8 diesel to a 1KZ. I don't want the reliability issues involved in aftermarket turbos on a 3L so going with a factory 1KZ-TE converted to mech pump. Sourced a whole KZN185 and sold off the bits for triple what I paid for it and that's with...

    Darty steering on a 91 3F

    We picked up this neat old 1991 3F 5 speed for my son as his first car. Never off road, no rust, a bit faded in the paint but really clean interior and pretty good panels. Straight and clean. Paid 3K AUD for it just over a year ago and drove it home (600klm or about 350 miles) on a permit...

    Loss of brake vacuum after 10 minutes

    Darn annoying. Switch the truck off, ( 1995 80 series) and 10 minutes later you've lost that 1st 'free' brake application with vacuum assist. When you're a manual and on a steep hill, its disconcerting to have to jam your foot so hard on the pedal the truck doesn't roll along while you shift...

    Deep inside the bellhousing of an A440...

    Guys, I’m about to pull the 3F out to replace a leaking rear freeze plug in the back of the block. Couldn’t be a worse spot to get to. Going to do the whole lot hence pulling the engine. Question: as you can’t get to the torque converter to move it, how do you align the flexplate holes with...

    RJ70 Bundera stuck in 4WD, then stuck in 2WD....

    Strange... If we leave the RJ in low range for a few days in the garage, when you shift back to high range, the 4WD lamp stays on. Then, leave it in high range for a few days and pull it into low, the 4WD light doesn't come on.... Must be a gummy or lazy switch somewhere. Its a vacuum...
