kzj78

Hello all, just recently bought a LJ79 with a turbo-ed 3L engine. Having some massive leak coming from the breather/PCV. Previous owner ran a hose from the engine all the way to the rear and the leak was really insane especially after a long drive (doesn't help that I park my car in a...

Anyone have experience running a cold air intake on a kzj78/1kzte? Are there any kits specific for this engine or can I just get a universal one, And what do you do with the sensor in the intake? Also any performance improvements (power, fuel economy)? Also maybe post some photos of your guys’...

Hey guys! My KZJ78 is in need of a suspension upgrade since I still have the old shocks and springs from when I bought it in Japan. I ordered the 2” lift kit from Dobinsons and I have been going around to different shops in my area to see about getting the kit installed. The problem is that...

Just took my kzj78 into the mechanic for the valve cover gasket and also the crossover pipe/ turbo inlet gasket I believe it’s called, I provided both the gaskets and got them from cruiser outfitters so I’m certain they’re the right ones, but from the minute I got the truck back it now has a...

Starting another build thread for yet another JDM KZJ78 that's landed in PacNW..or rather hoping to continue the good work started by @Lenny33 who let me pick up where he left off. He has a great build thread as well. Lenny33 put alot of great mechanical work to bring this machine to a great...

Okay, super random question here. I’ll be attending a drive in movie in my diesel landcruiser, the engine needs to be off but I need to have the radio on. My question is, when I turn the key on halfway (enough for the radio to get power) the glow plugs activate, do glowplugs have an automatic...

Would anyone be able to help source a power steering pump to the U.S? It’s for a 94 kzj78. Any ideas would be appreciated.

so for the past couple months my ac has a squeal every once in a while. noticed the tensioner was loose, didn't fix it in time and the whole pulley flew off, lesson learned. replaced with brand new tensioner pulley and also ac compressor belt, but the squeal still happens. its definitely coming...

Hello everyone, I have a 1994 KZJ78 (1KZ-TE) that I imported from when I was living in Japan. The truck recently started acting up ever since I got it back from the shipper. When the truck is running, something causes the whole electric systems to shut down. I can't roll down any windows...

So after my brother killed my land cruiser by leaving the headlights on overnight, jumped it and got it started again, everything’s fine except my radio (Sony CarPlay) won’t start up again. Screen won’t turn on, no power from the usb charger on it. But everything else in the truck works...

Anyone know what this leak is coming from on my land cruiser? Coming from the front left side, looks like it’s from whatever that is right in front of my left motor mount. Also any idea why I have this tube that’s attached to the frame but isn’t going to anything on either side? Thanks- 1994...

Noticed my 94 kzj78 had a pretty bad leak in the transfer case. Took it to my mechanic and he said it looks like the gasket is bad between transmission and transfer case and it’s dumping transmission fluid into the T case and it’s basically overflowing it and dumping out and that’s why it’s...

Looks like my transfer case is dumping a pretty good amount of liquid. Looks like its coming from somewhere up top but not sure. Everything drives fine though

Few pictures from the install of the snorkle for my 1996 kzj78 with the 1kzte engine. There were no instructions online so i decided to document this . Its still a work in progress but here is the result so far

So I let my brother drive my car and he left the lights on overnight. Battery died so we jumped it. Now my Sony Apple CarPlay unit won’t turn on and the usb charger port doesn’t have any power either. I didn’t install this thing so I have no clue how the wiring and stuff works or I would take it...

Hi everyone , new to the forum Just purchased a kzj78 few weeks ago. Located in NY I need to source a high output Alternator Here in the states. Ive been looking and can only find them in AUS and 1. The alternators i have found dont specify the fitment on a KZJ78, but they are for a 1kzte so i...

So I noticed at the back of my valve cover gasket there’s a nice amount of buildup of some black sludge. I’ll post a photo. There was so much that I couldn’t even see there was a notice badge on there. I’m also not entirely sure what this little nozzle does or why it’s so loose, maybe that’s the...

While checking my fuse box I noticed there’s a missing fuse on the spot titled “glow” I’m assuming it’s glow plugs? Could someone confirm this, just want to make sure I’m not missing something crucial to the engines health. The other missing one is titled “diff” but I’m not sure if that’s just a...

So today I noticed the overdrive off light was flickering, then I saw my speedometer not showing my speed and also not counting miles anymore. saw a forum maybe said speedo cables bad, where exactly is that cable located and how do I tell if that’s the problem?
