Outer Limits 4x4 Board

thanks mate about what year would you say the 3.0l is ok from as the 4.2 are hard to find and when i do they want a fortune for em.

I am jumping ship into a patrol but havent got a clue what motors the go.I see 2.8 td and 3.0td and dx and st but which motor is the best for power and reliability.Spending between 20000 and 30000 and want to get something that will last a while.I havent had anything to do with a patrol b4 so any ...

sounds like a problem i had on my 80 when i had it.The studs on the bottom of the knuckle CAME OUT and was only held in by 1 stud and there are actually 4 but the last 1 was loose so i replaced them and locktighted em and problem solvered.It only happens on the passengers side.Check that there is ...

Is it possible to bolt a turbo onto a standard 2.8 or are there other mods that need doin to it.The reason i ask is looking for a TD hilux but hard to find or ppl are asking to much so will just get a stocker and go from there.Cheers Ben

Pretty much standard except new 2 in shocks rear new ome springs and a lock rite in the front and 340k

Honest opinions i need to know how much a 86 LN65 duel cab lux is worth as all the ones for sale range from 15000 to 1500 its in bloody good nick with a new tub on it and a healthy 2.4l diesel cheers.

I have the same problems but i just carry a set of feeler guages and a flat screwdriver everywhere now.The timing is just trial and error move timing and drive if it pings retard it a bit until it dosent.I've got my 3F goin pretty good at the moment revs to 5500 and a shit load of tourqe love it on ...

Already decided on a 304 efi with a chip in it to help a bit.I dont want a street machine just somethin that,ll get me where i wanna go on 100klm hr and maybe a bit more occasionally.Let ya,s know how we go anyway just gotta get time to do it now...

I will more than likely go a 5 litre as they are cheap as chips and heaps of parts around aswell the mrs will be drivin it mainly so cant go to wild(yet).

Liquid nails fixed mine and a bit of vaso in the tracks.

i was actually thinkin bout gettin a crate motor as if i get the motor its less that i have to pay to the engineer.There are some good motors to be had to probably go for a tourqey motor over the revs.

fuel is a factor aswell i dont want a fuel guzzler but i want performance as well hence the efi ???????? leanin towards 350 maybe

total cost around 10k or a bit less as i am helpin the engineer do it includes a rebuilt 5 litre but thats what i am unsure of.If i do it i dont wanna be pissed that i didnt do it right the first time.

what would be the go then 350 too pricey these days maybe a 5.7 ltr i am not sure which way to go

I had a search but cant find anything on this subject.I am after some feedback on the Holdon 5 litre efi in a cruiser and what its like any pros and cons cheers.

Where do i start i just want to know where i can get the whole job done.I have been reading a fair few stories and will just pay someone to do it properly to save hassels and get a good job done.I am in cent west nsw and dunno where to start.Any ideas.....

Just lookin in my w/shop manual the 3F is exactly the same as 2F and 3F-E.how do i put pic on[/img][/quote][/list]

Yeah if i use a trolley jack i will be able to move it round a bit better

Youve given me an idea if i pull drivers seat out and remove door i would be able to get a hoist in there cheers.

How hard is it to do a clutch on a fj80.Can it be done on the groung or not.How heavy is the box.Any tips or ideas.Ta

thankyou fellas exactly what i needed to know i will get the wheel spacers and i think i will still have to take a fraction off th calliper as it only rubs on the top corner of the caliper.

I have a 80 series and a 86 lux and wanted to swap rims and tyres over but the cruiser rims rub on the lux brake calipers.Does anyone know what offset the landcruisers are and would some wheel spacers fix the problem i am sorry if this is a dumb question but i am not sure.

Thankyou just what i needed to know cheers

how do i identify what size diffs i have in my 80.I done a search but couldn't find anything.

If anyone has a fj80 with carb on it can you please post up a pic of the front of the carb as my secondaries wont open and just wanna see if its hooked up right cheers Ben.

Anyone know how to adjust the timing on a 3F cruiser motor.

dow50r is that Mudgee as in central nsw

Cheers for the feedback only reason i am looking at this model is i have found some one that wants a vt wagon and we are just doing a straight swap.Saves hassels with a trade in and all the other crap plus i think i will come out on top value wise.Cheers Ben

Looking at a 80 series on saturday and just wondering if there is anything in specific i need to really look at.Its a 91 GXL 4.0 ltr.And any feed back on the complete veichle thanks in advance.[/quote]
