Viton = $$$$$$ Only required if you're using really nasty stuff, nitrile seals would be fine for majority of applications.

Hey Buddy, long time no hear. I'd say it's probably the driver If you wait until mid September when I'm back I can give you a hand to whip that box out and we can re-live the experience of working on that 4 Runner at FAR!

Good luck.

Dak Dak, can you qualify that you can adjust timing with the DP chip ? D-Tronic chips are adjustable as well, as with most, you just need the software. That article also talks about signal input, and I'm yet to be told how the DP chip changes the timing by picking up a single wire that goes to the ...

Well I've just finished installing the Jaycar unit on my 80. For anyone thats interested I've made write up on the install, have a look at this link http://http://www.offroad80s.com/viewtopic.php?t=482 It works a treat and can be set within 1% up to 99%(thats some big arse tyres :armsup: ) Shanegtr...

yes, to suit vehicle "modifications", not different vehicles. Ring them, I did. I think the point MUD000 was trying to make was unlike other cheaper modules that simply plug in and only increase fuel volume by a set amount across the entire engine map, with the DP one you can custom progr...

The Dp chip isn't gerneric they program each chip to each car Well worth doing & I'vehad no complaints with any I've sold Cheers Dan Nope, you can take it off a Navara and put it on a 100 series with no changes - ask them. In the case of a Navara and 100 series you can because they both use the...

Sorry to hijack.

Am looking at a DP chip myself. Can/do you custom adjust the settings on these with a laptop to suit each individual engine + mods?

Those who have done a dual cab conversion, is it necessary to fit additional body mount/support points after doing the chop? I have heard that some of the more commercial dual cab converters do this.

My father and grandfather have both had 40L Engels for years (the old green type) with no problems. I bought one of the newer (grey) combi fridge freezers. Has been great bar two occassions up at Cape York when I really needed it. Shut down on two occassions for around a day and then started workin...

Thanks gents.

Maybe try spraying on a leak detector fluid like snoop and look for the bubbles! WIndex works just as good. That was my initial tohught but the gas... she is all gone.. so no bubbles left to bubble. Hmm, don't have my Engel here to look at and can't say I've given it much notice before. There must ...

Thanx mate i take great pride in my welding ability plus i do it every day (you get plenty of practice working in a stainless steel workshop). Ye i am just gunna pickle it then give it a quick buff to brighten it up a bit. Sorry guys, how do you 'pickle' stainless?! Anyone have any nice looking met...

its my old mans 80 ute.

Awesome job. Who did the chop and tray work?

Had a quick search and couldn't find anything. Anyone tell me the details of the factory turbo on a 1HD-FTE? Type, Ball bearing, etc???

Thanks.

Did the 80 series ever get airbags?

Shane, another option to throw into the mix: Replace your car stereo with an amp. Run an audio jack - RCA lead from your laptop to the amp and power your speakers this way. Can do away with the head unit (leaves a nice space for extra mounting gauges or UHF radio) and you can crank things up a littl...

Just a question on Body lift blocks.

Spoke to the engineer the other day and he advised me to get the metal type so i did not have to get crush tubes.

Dave,

What are 'crush blocks' and why are they necessary?

Thanks.

Anyone else know anything about this?

It's not turbo lag either, it's fuel lag, i.e. the computer is making extra sure that it's not gonna let any black smoke out the back. The ECU also has a switch on 1st gear to limit engine power ;-) Hmm, had planned on fitting a programmable ECU (Unichip) after doing some other engine mods - mainly...

Ratio change will depend on tranny version, but always good to return to original gearing. 4sp auto definately, I'd guess manual may be ok, 5 sp auto may get away with it. Manual transmission but even then I'm still thinking the thing will be a pig off the line with magnified turbo lag on the stand...

factory TD 100 with IFS, I don't believe you can put in a body lift legally due to SRS air bags etc.. as for 35's with a diff drop, should fit check out www.ih8mud.com and look at the 100 section, there all IFS there and running 35's etc No, I plan on getting Cheezy to fit an 80 series live front a...

Anyone recommend changing diff ratios???
