I've never had an FJ, but my 6 yr old loves my 80. You really can't go wrong in one of these with a family, lots of cargo space, and lots of back seat room for the kids to grow into....
Haven't done too much looking as the thing is a real bastard to work on. Damn near impossible to get your hands on anything, the engine bay is stuffed full. Just wanted to get some opinions here to make sure I was headed in the right direction before I dive in.....
Thanks again guys.....

Hey Guys,
This is not for my LC, but for my other Toyota, a 93 Aristo (sold in the U.S. as a Lexus GS300, but this one has the Twin Turbo 2JZ-GTE) And seeing how most of the guys that frequent here seem to know their sh*t when it comes to motors I thought I might get some help.
Anyway, the...
Yep, It's cable driven... But where it goes into the housing it is really loose, and leaking just a bit of tranny fluid. But I don't see a way to tighten it?? Cable is OK, as after messing with it for a couple of minutes last night, speedo was working again. How is that mounted into the...
Yep all else working fine (except the odometer, which would be directly linked to the speedo I'm guessing.)... Will have a look that way LACRUISER... but they may different as mine is full time....
Thanks guys...
James
Hey Guys,
Truck is an HDJ81 (JDM).
This morning I got in and the speedometer isn't working. It will sometimes flutter a bit under acceleration, but for the most part sits on zero.
I'm guessing it's just a bad connection but befor I dive in too deep I thought I would get some thougths here...
That's great, thanks a million. one question... what is "Toyota Japan market EPC"??? ok, two... and how do I find / use this so I don't have to harass people here? As I'm sure things like this will come up again.
Make that 3.... and are you the guy I sold my rolled blue 81 to about 10 months...
I kinda figured they would be as well, but the only people open are the generic parts stores, which are USELESS!!! I tried asking for a plain old front disk for a land cruiser (giving no model) and one place didn't even show a listing for land cruiser (canadian tire) and parts source didn't...
Can anyone tell me if there is a north american equivalent for the front disks (rotors) on a 1990 HDJ81?????? I got them all ripped apart to replace the pads and took the rotors in to be turned but there isn't enough left and they won't do it. And the local parts guru is closed on the weekend...
Have you checked your windshield washer fluid?? There is a hose that runs to the back window.... Mine came loose at a fitting in the back of my cruiser and made the back carpet wet..... Not sure where the line runs up front, but it might be worth checking....
Yep I would check.... If anything oil pressure should increase with RPM (if it changes at all, no change is of course the norm) Low pressure under load is a very bad thing.....
If you want it re-built, do it yourself. There should be a re-build kit available. Replacing the neccicary parts takes about 20 mins tops. I've never done my Cruiser, but have done lots of others. it's dead easy.
If you want to test any speaker, "tap" a AA bettery across the speaker leads, you will hear the speaker pop or click, if that dosen't work try a 9V, some high resistance speakers won't be pushed by an AA. If you are having problems this will tell you if the speaker or the amp is to blame. And...
I need to move quick on this, so I'm listing it in a couple of places seeing as I don't know where to put it, and to get it done....

Thanks

Hey guys.....
It's a bad fluid level sensor in the master cylinder. Thanks for the help.
I think hj60 owes somebody a truck :doh:!! :D
Why doesn't the 1HD-T make vacuum??
James
Hey guys....
OK so the truck is a 1990 HDJ81 (JDM) Turbo Diesel....
When the truck is cold sometimes the indicator light for the e-break comes on for 10 mins or so. It dosent always come on right at start up, sometimes it waits for a min or two to turn on, or sometimes not at all. It always...
