Hi Forum,
If I understand it correctly the 1HZ is a more common engine globally than the 1HDT, so does that mean it's very easy to get parts for it here in the USA?
Are 1HDT parts harder to come by?? and more expensive?
thanks
So I've got a BJ42, that I'd like to drop a 1-HDT into w/ automatic transmission.
I didn't think an automatic transmission could fit, yet after seeing this shop in Japan do it... I'd like to find a competent shop here in the US that could do this swap for me.
Here's the video in case you want...
I'd love to ride or test drive one... I know everyone says the automatic transmission is slow... but I'd like to get a first hand experience...
Anyone know of or have one near NYC? Should I ask for winning lottery numbers instead? (better odds lol)
thanks
Hi Guys
I posted this in the diesel tech forum
https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/1988-toyota-land-cruiser-hj61-land-cruiser-12ht-turbo-diesel-wagon.809550/
but it's a 60 series LC, so I thought I'd ask for help here too...
There's an ebay sale up now, based on the pics and video, does it look...
Hey guys,
I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on this via ebay.
A few pics, a short video of the engine and a little bit more info via PMs... but not much more info given
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&vxp=mtr&item=121365588445
Would you buy this for 18k based on the ebay...
Hey guys,
I know MPG is always a tricky thing to get accurate... but do you think an HJ61 with factory automatic transmission will get 30mpg highway, 25mpg city?
I'm thinking this is too optimistic, yes?
The automatic transmission will eat up more power/fuel, yes?
Thoughts??
thanks
Hi Guys
On the ih8mud forum, there's a gallery section. The Cottonland Cruisers have a dedicated section, for the 2011 Moab event.
page 7, top of the gallery pics, there are a couple of FJ40s with unusual bumper guards/headlight/grille guards....
Can anyone tell me more about them...
Newb question:
I replaced the car battery, forgot to remember orientation.
On a 82 BJ42, I have the positive terminal close to the firewall
negative terminal towards the radiator
Couldn't find any diagrams in the field service manual
Did I reinstall correctly? Everything starts up...
Can one have a battery that is too strong?
I just put in a 900 CCA costco battery, because the PO's battery
died.... it was rated for 640 CCA
Will any electrical issues arise from this upgrade?
oh yeah, it was 90 bucks for those that are curious
thanks
Anyone have MasterCraft or Corbeau suspension seats?
post pics please.
If you had the money, would you get them? Or are they overkill for a 40 series DD?
Anyone ever heard of this brand of turbo? Any general comments on the brand/company?
I believe they were based out of Cali and they went out of business years back...
Thanks
Hi Forum
So a 82 3B BJ42 that I bought, (Still in Sydney AUS) just got
back from the mechanic's over there....
they did a compression test and here are the numbers
161km on the engine
1: 750 kpa = 108 psi
2: 755 kpa = 109 psi
3: 755 kpa = 109 psi
4: 760 kpa = 110 psi
I know the manual...
I can't seem to find the answers to my question in this forum, so here goes
Is there an overall consensus about which WVO dual tank setup is best for a BJ42 3B?
I've spoken with greasecar. They don't have a pre-made setup, it would be considered a custom job.
I've looked at Frybrid...
I've sent Alex (resident expert on importing here) a PM , and I'm trying to get in touch with her... so far no luck
Does anyone know if she's still frequenting the boards?
Can someone PM me her email or company phone number?
Thanks in advance

Well it looks as though a 82 BJ42 is hopefully on its journey to the US, NYC in particular. My very first Land Cruiser ever!
I'm going to be asking more experienced members for some advice and help on this journey, and I'll try not to ask dumb questions.
Wow, I'm so psyched!
Here's a...
I'm wondering if you guys can tell me if my thinking is correct.
I'm thinking of purchasing my first ever LR , a 13BT in a FJ40, and after talking to members here on the boards, a LR local mechanic, and spector offroad my sense is that parts will be available for this engine for some time.
I...
