I have a 1990 Hilux Duelcab, I have just put in a semi rebuilt 3L non turbo as the original engine was siezed (I bought the lux this way) The new engine I picked up was complete and the fuel pump was already in place. Now going, this motor is churning through the fuel like a 22r! I have used about ...

As Above.
MAYBE looking at getting a diesel Pajero, my wife loves to drive one her friend has and I am thinking if I can get one for a good price it might be the way to go. I would prefer the a full chassis.

Hi Guys I have just fitted a rebuilt 3L to my 1990 Hilux, all is working great except it is now killing batteries???? Something is now staying on (drawing current) when the ignition is off. Is is enough to kill a Z704wd overnight (completly flat) I am runnning out of ideas. The battery leads spark ...

The chassis is basically the same from 1984 to 1996. Is your chassis the early or late style. If the chassis is from 1996 to 2005 you will have to do a lot of mods. The chassis will have to be from a duel cab or extra cab, not single cab as the have the tray mounts that would have to be removed to ...

Hi Guys I am in the process of rebuilding a G52 gearbox out of my 1990 diesel duelcab and have been looking for replacement parts to rebuild blown reverse gear assy (without luck) Does anyone here know how easy it is to fit parts from toyotas other G or W series box that might be easer to find ...

Hi Guys I am looking into replacing my G52 with a surf R series box out of a surf. I want to keep my standard geardrive transfer case. Just looking for information below Do the driveshafts stay in the same place so I don't have to shorten/extend? Can I use the same clutch assy? Who else but marks ...

Mine is a 2.8 diesel that has a blowen diff, the spare diff centre I have is out of a 1985 2.4 diesel I wrecked for parts 6 months ago.

Would a diff centre out of a 1985 diesel Hilux 4WD fit a 1989 Diesel Hilux 4WD. Is the ratio and bolt patten the same?
My 1989 has a blowen diff and I was hoping it would fit straight in?

Hi Guys I am in the middle of rebuilding a front diff of a 84 Hilux, all looks ok except for a ware marks on the upper edge of the ball joint on the passenger side, in the straight ahead position? Everything looks tight and no slack. When I fit a new seal kit should I shave or round of the grove(it ...

Just what I wanted to here Thanks

Ok, I have searched all the previous post on this but cannot find the answer, just mis-information. I am wanting to know the duel cab mounts are in the same place on 84 to 97 or even 97 to 2005. I want to use my 84 chassis with a later body on it. SO,,,,,, Does it bolt on??????? :?: What years ...

The tyres you speek of arn't Federal's. There are two different brands, that I know of, that come out of that same factory as a "generic" name. Both of witch I can get. Neither are very cheep. You'd be surprised witch brands come from the same source, all produced with varying specs (quality) from ...

Ozrunner, I don't have a problem with swapping engines or electrics but my downfall is with making mounts to pass engineering, ever though of making some to sell? I love the Windsor after driving a very old ZW ute with a 302 about 8 years ago, very smooth for a motor that would be the same age as me ...

id stick with the chev, holden or the lexus v8s as they have a tighter V the the ford motor and are either rear mounted dizzy or efi. i believe the autos a better too with loads of spairs and not to pricey. chev would be the smallest motor but is a tiny bite taller. this would make the fire wall ...

Hi Guys.

I am looking for more information on fitting a 302 Winsor into a 94 Hilux, has anyone here have one?
I am suprised that not many are around as the Ford iV8s even smaller than a Chev/Holden/Toyota V8? Should fit better

What is the big difference between 3L and the 5L, can a 5L be fitted and then turbo'd?
Can I use my original pump and other acc, exhaust?, Surf 2.4 turbo manifold or 1KZ turbo manifold fit the 5L?
Just trying to find out what would work best

Hi guys Have noticed lately that the price has dropped down for the Surf 3 ltr motor from import wreckers. My question is does this motor bolt into early Hilux's fitted with the 3L and use the same engine mounts/bellhousing? and if so can it be made into a non electronic motor? Also can the 5L ...

Hi, Just a quick question, I know the Surf/4Runner chassis is shorter than a Hilux, but is it the same wheelbase? is the extra length behind the rear wheels?
Mostly wanting to know if a Hilux duelcab, cab will fit on a surf chassis?

Hi chaps. I have an intermittant noise that sounds like rubber squeaking, and it is related to vehicle speed, not engine rpm. Worst around the 40 to 70km/hr mark. It seems to be coming from around the trans tunnel shifter area. I took the dash out, and took a few mm off the end of the cable, as we ...

Meaning stock 29" tyres? I personally wouldn't bother. Go up to a 31" on 15 or 16" rims.

I think I will go 31 then, easy Do you Know what offset I would need, is it the same as a 80/100 series cruiser with IFS?
Rich

It has a 2", mayby 3" lift, It looks stupid with its standard rims, as I want to do some sand driving I want to go wider.
