1HZ engine in HZJ73 feels underpowered when going up a road with a 7% - 9% grade incline hitting 2800-3200 rpm, doing 20-40 mph blowing black smoke, is this normal for a 1HZ, since it is a slow engine or is this a problem?

Hey there, today was the first "cold" day where I live, dropping down to 36 degrees last night, I have no clue if this has anything to do with anything but yea there's that. As for the issue, it started today just as I had pulled out of my driveway and popped it into 2nd gear my battery and...

I just bought a restored 1978 HJ45 and the 2WD stopped working. All of the 4WD options work but when I shift the 4WD back to neutral then the gear won’t engage as shift through them. I can also shift to gear and take my foot off the clutch and the car won’t stall.

In October of 2017 I sold my diesel Hilux. By November seller's remorse was pretty acute and I was desperate for another 4x4. @AirheadNut was selling a fully optioned HDJ81 VX Limited recently imported from Canada. This thing had all the bells and whistles: triple lockers, center console...

Bought a cylinder head from a local company. almost 6 months later my kzn130 is still collecting dust in the garage, head off. First one came, installed it, had numerous leaky valve seats/ valve clearances out of spec (also came with metal filings). They sent another, this one had incorrect...

1968 Toyota FJ40 Toyota 12-HT Turbo Diesel and H55F 5 speed manual transmission. I bought this FJ 8 years ago with the original 6 cylinder gas engine and 3 speed transmission. Over the years I have continued to make improvements to all aspects of the car (see full list of details below). All the...

Removed from 1991 Spanish manual BJ73 4-cyl 2.5 l diesel conversion to Cummins 2.8. All offers considered. Engine with 200,000km. Ran with good power but white smoked heavily when cold, lightly when warm. Complete except coolant temp sensor removed. Clutch housing, clutch, throw out all good...

Hey there, around the start of August my glow plug timing started acting up, I could hear them go on and then back off almost immediately, yet the glow plug light would stay on for how long they would usually be on for. Then after a week, they started working normally again and would turn off...

Hello, Long time lurker coming out of the shadows. I was able to get a killer deal (seemed so anyway) on an isuzu 4jg1 non turbo. I assume it runs and that it was a high hours replacement from a mini excavator or skid steer, that may need a rebuild. Assuming it doesn't, it is an 2004 or...

Hello, :cheers: (If this post belongs elsewhere, mods please move or delete) I have a '92 Hiace Super GL that I purchased damaged. 3L diesel with under 150,000 km threw a rod out the side of the block. The crank will rotate about 120 degrees. I'd hoped for a direct swap, but have yet to find...

I have a 1994 Toyota Dyna fire truck from Japan with a 14B engine. I am just looking for someone who is familiar with this engine to give me advise on replacement parts for it. No one I've talked to at autoparts stores in my local area are familiar with the engine. Currently I just want to...

I'm new to the forum and don't own a land cruiser, but have admired fj40s from afar forever! I've found a friend of a friend looking to sell her 1979 FJ40 and I was wondering if you guys could help me figure out what price to offer as I am not super familiar with the market. She mentioned she'd...

I'll start with a small introduction to myself and then the vehicle. I am a professional photographer based out of Grand Junction, Colorado - I have been wheeling and traveling since I was a kid with my father and previously owned a 2006 Tacoma I built for my needs. I have always wanted to do...

I have a 97 FZJ 80 for sale but as you can see, it’s going to need to be towed or delivered to or by you. This 80 is unique, as it is a diesel conversion. The engine is an AM General 6.5L Turbo Diesel from a HMMWV (mechanical injection), but it threw a rod. So needs an engine rebuild or...

Hey folks! I live in Canada where it can get down to -35 (celsius) some days in the winter. I'm looking to purchase a Toyota Landcruiser LJ70 (1987) and a bit nervous about two things in winter; the diesel engine and the FRP top. Any insight on the cold start sequence, and if anyone's had...

All. I have a 1980 FJ40 with a B series Diesel Engine that someone over the past 40 years installed. i just picked this beast up 2 weeks ago. I am looking to complete an engine swap and i am curious if anyone has seen a list of engines that will be direct replacement engines? I am hoping to...

I just finished my 2 year long project, and now I want to share it with some people who might appreciate it. It has a few bugs at the moment but nothing major at all. Specs: 1971 land cruiser, complete frame off and new body. Dana 60 front and 14 bolt rear Np205 connected to a NV4500 HMMWV...
