Ah cool! Can you tell me anything about it? What parts he used etc?
What did it cost for someone to do it if you dont mind me asking? PM me if you like.

Ok im sold on the rear coils also :lol: Im just curious about front coil conversion, bearing in mind i was gonna go the TG front set up, which involves crossover steering, new shockmounts etc anyway, what is exactly involved in a front coil conversion? whats easiest to weld in? Has anyone here done ...

Mine is doing the same (LN106). Its not the fluid or the handbrake as that has different light. I just ignore it now, been on for months haha!

Any help would be good tho! Auto leccy reckons could be the sensor or something??

This sounds interesting, my hilux brakes are TERRIBLE, can you elaborate a bit on this upgrade please? what do you need, how do you install it etc?

Cheers

My HIlux 3L turbo (low boost) gets 9L per 100k every tank. but i drive like a nanna - cuase fuel costs to much, if it didnt look like i was going to get 9L / 100 i would get out and push it for as while :lol: WOW thats impressive! I have just brought (on firday) a 3L turbo, running 12 psi, 35s with ...

why is that? is he the guru on these?

I rekcon it sounds abit dodgy. if it has receipts from a shop and all for the engine and the rest i'd pay 10K. but if he doesnt (and id ring the shop to confirm and explore a warranty etc with the shop) id pay 6k and keep your spare $$ for a possible rebuild. Yeah right, it has a sticker on the ...

You'll get oil spit out the top every time. The rockers are quite close to the top there so there'll be a little bit of spit regardless. 3L's are nutorious for blow by. I remember seeing a brand spanking 3L lux ages ago and it had blowby then. They just do that. I had a new motor about 15000k ago ...

Another thing i should really ask, what would you guys realistically expect to pay for somthing like this, considering it is VERY VERY neat and a near new engine. Hilux Twin cab 2.8 Turbo running 12psi. 2in body lift Mags with 35 in Micky Thompsons (brand new!!!) ARB bullbar with winch, tow bar ...

great tip, thanks mate!!

Still after all advice possible, thanks guys!

Ill track down a diesel comp tester now! They are expensive. People don't like lending them out either, because it's east to damage them if fuel combusts. Injector lines must be first undone, fuel pumped out of cylinders before connecting the tester. Does that mean you would have to blead them ...

Yeah i think i will go have another look and check all these things out and take my comp tester with me! what is good comp by the way? Thanks again guys, your a great help! Is it a diesel compression tester? A petrol tester will explode. 450-500 PSI is good with about 20 PSI over all cylinders ...

hey buddy if there is noticable smoke coming out puffy or large ammounts run away! mate is getting 700kms or more out of his tank.. non turbo.. if you tune it up nicely you should have about that or more.. if you canfind the breather take that out and look for large ammounts of smoke aswell.. if ...

ah righto, well thats not too bad, still havent brought it yet but reckon i will, just doing my homework first! Spoke to a mate who works at toyota today and he said that the spitting oil issue isnt bad, i need to pull the dipstick out and check if anything is blowing out there. Another question how ...

yeah i was thinking that i read that most people run 11psi max. So does your engine have much blow by, in other words if you take the oil cap off while running does it shoot any oil out?..... anyone? Cheers Mine runs 9psi with no noticable blow by. Mine is the same: 9PSI and hardly any blow by ...
