Just wondering if anyone here's had a go at tuning an FTE with a unichip using the available (in the US software)? Just wondering how easy it is to get useful gains? Say sitting in the passenger seat having a play while watching the EGT and boost gauges... Or adjust a few values and take it up...
Unichip Classic (D3) for HDJ100 landcruiser. Tuned for safe power increase with a 3” exhaust. Can be retuned by some Unichip dealers (not all have the right plugs). Needs wiring in, I can supply the correct wiring diagram for a 2002 update vehicle and/or the plug map for a pre 2002 or HDJ79.
I...
I’ve got a pre Q (D3 to be precise) Unichip for my FTE. It’s only got a short bare ended loom. Does anyone know the Pinout of the 18pin plug? Or what each colour wire is for?
haven’t been able to pull up much yet, even if someone had a similar age chip on a different vehicle I might be able to...
Anyone got or know of an ARB 105 bullbar? Need another bar and really want an ARB bar. Commercial or deluxe, don’t mind doing a bit of work to it if need be. NSW preferable but kind of assume I’ll need to freight so looking at anywhere... not in a busting hurry at the moment so just putting some...
Anyone running this combo? Got a helper leaf in the rear otherwise it’s stock. Tried a 285/75R16 and didn’t seem to rub. It’s a size be always been interested in but there’s a really poor choice here. Only three or four options in the country, and generally Nill stock of most of them. Seriously...
This is a frequent topic, but mine is with a difference (I think). It’s the second I’ve seen too. Currently have 1998 HZJ75 (1hz), but had a 1992 HZJ75 do the same. Firstly there’s a plug/sender issue and the needle goes below the gauge (can’t see needle). New sender, wired correctly.
Now the...
Thought I'd start a build thread. I've posted it on LCOOL but as that is a closed forum I've decided to start one here too. I've always thought an HDJ105 would be the ultimate wagon (just a shame Toyota never made one), but didn't realise how much I needed one until a few months ago. I had a...
Just wondering if anyone knows what transfers from a 1FZ (100 series) block to 1H* (specifically 1HD-FT but I don't think this should matter) block? Can you mount (or make work) the AC compressor? What about alternator? Or PS lines - is the pump even in a similar spot on the block?
There is talk about this conversion - supposedly you use extended shackles and 75 series front springs in the front a 60 series for better flex and comfort.
But I haven’t heard it first hand. Has anyone here got
Any experience of it? Do you use regular or lifted 75 springs? What length...
Just wondering on the difference between the three in pistons in regards to combustion chambers are? If you put a 24v head on a 1HD-T would the bowl be compatible with the injectors in regards to shape and direction? Basically would an FT or FTE head assembly bolt up and run well on an FT or FTE...
lost the fuel gauge in my (well my brothers) HJ60 recently. Checking out he sender itself (I assume there is an inspection plate in the back) but I can’t see wires running forward from the tank like in a 75/79/105...
Where do the wires run from the sender? Do they go into the rear near side...
Thinking about a set of rebuildable shocks - more for the long term economic gains than anything else although the ability to tune them, the mono tube advantage and performance levels aren't a bad thing either. Thinking Fox 2.0 IFP non RR but that's not what I'm posting about.
I don't then want...
Pulled this out of my HJ47 years ago as I couldn't be arsed to regas. Unfortunately only have this and the dryer. Pretty rare unit though I'm told. I never used it but looks like it's all there and in reasonable condition. Blower motor works fine. Does have a few scuffs/scratches though...
I said I'd have a look at a 1988 HJ75 with a 12H-T conversion with a mate tomorrow. I'm pretty experienced with regular non turbo cruisers (70 and 40 series anyway), and NA diesels in general. But I have very limited experience with turbo motors. What are the points to look for with a 12H-T, and...
OK I know this may call for an obvious reponse on a 'cruiser forum, but I also posted it on a Jeep forum. I currently have an HJ47 Landcruiser Troopcarrier. I want/need a ute (pickup to you 'mericans) for firewood, hunting and timber hauling, mostly on this property. I was thinking about either...
Does anyone know the Australian laws on changing VIN numbers? 10 years ago when I blue slipped my HJ47 troopy the garage couldn't find the VIN number on the chassis. So it had to have a police re-issue number assigned and the garage just stamped it on.
Now doing some work to it I have found...
Just wondering if anyone can say whether this is true or not? http://www.carsales.com.au/news/2012/commercial/toyota/landcruiser/toyota-to-kill-off-70-series-31309
I want to to not be and think this article contradicts itself, but it's about the most stupid thing any car manufacturer has ever...
Just reinstalled the IP in an HZJ75 (1HZ) after having it rebuilt by a diesel shop. They scrubbed off my timing mark, so I re timed it with the toyota SST and a dial gauge. I set the plunger stroke to .042" (FSM said .0409 - .0429").
It starts and runs fine with good power but is very...
I'm hoping someone can comment on my plan of cutting my 1981 HJ47 troopy down into a tray back ute. There are various reasons for it but the main one is I can't sell my troopy for as much as buying a ute would cost.
Has anyone heard of or have any experience of this? Looking at mine and...
