Outer Limits 4x4 Board

It you ever want to modify it. I.e susp, batteries. It will be cheaper in the 200 GXL.

Hey Guys, im having a few dramas with my truck its an 80 series 1fz-fe on petrol no gas 1994 manual. When the car is cold for the first 30 seconds whilst trying to drive it the vehicle is really flat spotty and it pops and farts around all over the shop and it is barely driveable but after this firs...

its piss easy just make sure you follow the instructions and have a nice sharp hole saw cos if you dont you will munt the guard like theres no tomorrow.

well we comp tested it last night and well NOT GOOD
1-2-3-4-6 comp was within 1psi
cylinder 5 was at 44psi. so we are pulling the head off and going to reco it.

thanks everyone for your input.

Ben

no it has no pressure in it once its cold.

haha thanks for the reply guys. I have started riding to work. so hopefully this should assist in my fitness aswell.

but yeah i think it might just be condensation. Ill dump the oil and see how we go from there.

Ben

hey Guys, well i thought i had done a headgasket in my car but this may in-fact not be the case. Last night i did a cooling system pressure test. I did it cold and the cooling system held pressure fine. Even found a leak in a heater hose. fixed the leak re-tested....... held pressure........ no leak...

Hey Guys, i have recently blown the headgasket in my car and whilst the head is off i was going to install some stainless valves as my car is also on gas. Can anyone tell me how much they cost and where they got them from. And also if anyone has had to get the headgasket replaced on there cruiser ho...

yeah its very low.

Well anyhow i went to check the water and oil last night and noticed the oil looks like a milkshake.

Awesome

nah it doesnt jerk at all it drives fine.

Hey Guys, i beleive my AFM on my 94 dual fuel 1FZ-FE landcruiser is faulty and this is why. my car idles at 300-400rpm popping and farting all over the shop. Now i did the usual check the 45 degree bend in the intake pipe off the AFM to the mixer for holes and i came up with nothing so i thought i w...

mine does this aswell. same symptoms.

I have been told to check teh rubber hoses that go from the airbox to the throttle body for cracks.

If not depending on the year of your 80 check the 02 sensor in the exhaust under the drivers footwell.

Ben

that rattle in neutral is normal. If you have a listen to most cars they do it. Especially heavy duty clutches. My old 200sx clutch sounded like someone was rattling bolts in the gearbox, but it was fine once engaged.

Even my 80 does it.

Ben

yeah by then i should have the new drive shaft in

well i took the front driveshaft out and the vibration has gone COMPLETELY. it drives so well now.

You wouldnt think so.

however i got mu seals at $17inc gst send me a pic of your seal.......

Mind you i bought what was a genuine "seal kit" from autobarn that was badged with toyota all over it and it was in fact a rip

yeha thats weird, as it seems some need them and some dont.

is yours manual or auto?

yeah i have a full time 4wd..... the sound wasnt there and i have fitted caster plates.

alot of 80 constant AWD's need DC when going over 4" lift. its about a 4-5" lift in mine.

i dont have a pic of the seal itself as i have installed it in the car already. 1 the rubber on the Toyota seal was alot stronger and thicker that was on the aftermarket one. 2 the actual thickness of the steel used in the toyota seal was about 1mm whereas the other seal was only about .7mm thick. 3...

Hey Guys, i have a 4" lifted 80 series and need to put the double cardin joint in the front tailshaft. I am just wondering as to which Hilux's and 4runners had the correct Double cardin in it that i need to modify. I had one but it was farked. If you could let me know that would be great. Cheer...

If i can suggest anything, with the axel seal use a genuine one. I used an aftermarket one 3 times and they all leaked. i used a genuine one and it was fine no more leaks. For the 80 series the seal was only $17 and it is also a far better quality.

It will just save you doing the job twice

G'day guys, i have a 4.5ltr 80 series manual on dual fuel. When the car is cold on either petrol or gas the car has a rough idle it will constantly sit between 400-600rpm and just coughs and splutters. it drives fine once your going but it just idles really low to the point where you hold your foot ...

i often thought about pulling it out of the pope mobile haha nice new merc one

yeha that sounds exactly right. i will pull the front shaft out for a while and put a double cardinal in

are there any problems in taking my front drive shaft out? just until i put the double cardinal in there.

Ben

Hey Guys, i have a 1994 80 series manual 4.5 petrol. I have recently put a 4-5" superior engineering lift on it which comprised of caster plates F & R panhard rods swaybar extensions shocks springs extended brake lines when i accelerate in 1st and 2nd there is no vibration on or off the thr...

hey guys,

i can tell you that APS engineering (air power systems) no longer sell the turbo system for the 1FZ-FE. i work for them.

well i found the problem.

Thanks shorty_forty you were correct. The tailshaft bolts were loose as i could move them with my fingers.

my 40th anniversary 80 had ABS and Drivers Airbag.

it was a 97' model

^^^ i hope the wheels arent coming loose as i had it at the tyre joint and they aparently checked all that.
