Hi there,
Lately I have noticed a knocking type sound coming from my 1PZ motor (1990).
I used a stethoscope on the sump but it was not that profound. However the closer I got to the pulley wheel the more profound it became. I then noticed that the main pulley (one with double belts) was...
I am contemplating mounting a 9kg gas bottle to my SWB 1990 70 series cruiser using a standard gas bottle mount (image below) but I just cannot figure out where, firstly it is possible (support etc) and secondly where it is legal (i.e. does not protrude out from the side to take out cyclists on...

Hi there,
I am busy replacing all my tie rod ends as well as my steering damper on my PZJ70 cruiser.
When I removed my tie rod I measured it and it was 1213mm instead of the recommended length of 1267mm.

I am keen to understand what is the best manual way of immobilising a 1989 PZJ70 land cruiser.

I just cannot figure this out since my truck has manual locking hubs.
My truck has manual locking hubs. It also has the 'HUB LOCK' switch. I also...
Hi Guys,
I have an oil pressure gauge that is not working. I have purchased a new oil pressure sender and installed it. When I inserted the clip back onto the sender and tested it the gauge still did not work. I also checked all my fuses.
I then noticed another clip on the same cable that...
Hi there guys,
I am have some issues with my cruisers rear brakes. I have adjusted the adjuster rods to allow me to free wheel spin the wheels about 2 full revolutions. Sweet as!
I then go cruising. Now the mechanism in the drum works in such a way that each time the handbrake is engaged a...
Hi there guys,
I am embarking on replacing my 70 series PZJ70 1990 front rotors.
I bought the rotors before I took them off. The company I bought them from assured me that they would fit.
When I took the front rotor off I tried to remove the hub from the rotor and walked into a wall!
From...
Hi there fellas,
I have searched this forum regarding this question and have found some very old threads.
What type and make of turbo can I fit to a 1PZ engine?
Is it a straight out of the box fitment or do I have to manufacture/beg/borrow/steal a special flange to mate the turbo to the engine?
Hi fellas,

I have recently purchased a 1990 Land Cruiser with a 1PZ engine.
My question is what is the recommended oil BRAND that I should purchase. I will stick with...
