Spacers are illegal here in New Zealand so I am trying to find a suitable oe part number rim or aftermarket, with the correct offset and width to run 7.50R16s. The only option I can find is an ROH steel (Blaktrak) which is advertised in Australia but not New Zealand. I may have to just look at...
I have a 94 LN106 Hilux, and am considering switching to 7.50R16 tyres for various reasons, but I can't find any options for an aftermarket rim skinny enough. What are the options for a steel rim in an OE part number or aftermarket? I don't want to run split rims as they're so heavy and have no...
10-11 L/100km average from mine, 310xxxkm on the clock (but more like 350k km in reality probably) N/A BJ73 with 33x10.5 KO2's, bullbar, winch, no lift (currently), no roof rack. I had the injectors rebuilt 4 or 5 months ago which made maybe 10% improvement. I think the best I've had was like...
I need to replace my windscreen frame and have some rust repairs done to my 73 also. Do you have a complete list of the part numbers of the seals/gaskets you used? That would save me a bit of faffing finding them!! thanks!
Well I get about 11L per 100km average over everything in the BJ73 with 33/10.5 ATs, but I drive like a real granny. Would love to get the same or similar from a HZJ73
Is this fixable, and if so, is it easy or expensive? At this point - looks minor. Can’t imagine it will do anything other than get worse. May be related to leaking around windscreen? In the seam in the A pillar on both sides.
What kind of mileage are people getting with an HZJ73? I'm looking at replacing my BJ73 with something a little newer, but a bit wary of the poor economy the 1HZ seems to get. I have driven a lot of HZJ75 and HZJ79 utes over the years and remember getting pretty poor mileage (500km/90L) but we...
I also did this today. 33/10.5R15 on a 15x8 steel rim, on the flipped tyre mount on the door. It's heavy, especially with a hi-lift and shovel mounted on there too. A rear bar with wheel carrier is on the way though, so this is only temporary and hopefully my door rattles less once I get it on.
i have a 1985 BJ73, and have been planning/gathering parts to add a turbo. However a lower mileage 13BT (240k vs 305k on my 3B) engine has come up for sale. Should I continue as planned, or swap to the 13BT?
The 13BT swap will cost more. However it’s a factory turbo motor, and direct injection...
So I had my injectors rebuilt (Apparently they were poked). Then went for a 1400km road trip, mixed highway & narrow, twisty, hilly gravel roads, with the odd alpine pass in the middle. Best fill up resulted in 9.7L/100km, worst 10.4. Average 10.3 over the whole 1400km.
Pretty happy with that...
