Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I got it going. But don't know what had stopped it?

What would cause the EFI fuse to blow? Funny fuel pump?
Funny relay.
Something must have caused the fuse to blow in the first place. Bit stumped... Defiantly don't think the issue is solved. If it happens again or I solve it. Will post solution ...

More information..

The first time it stopped. It felt like it had lost power. Then sort of cough and died. It would crank over fine. I was running on LPG. When it would not start on petrol. I checked the fuses and found the EFI fuse blown.

Obviously something caused the fuse to go?

The second ...

Hi all,

About one week ago my EFI fuse under the bonnet (behind the factory battery) blew while driving. I found it fairly quickly by just checking all the fuses. Swapped the fuse and all good.

Now the 80 has stopped again. But this time the fuse has not blown. I an quessing whatever took the fuse ...

Thanks for the replies. I had seen the superior engineering kit. Looks pretty good for the the price. I have spoken to Cam at Cammo Offroad. Just need to pull the diff out of the car and strip it down now.

I would like to get my front diff braced. Can anybody recommend somewhere in Melbourne or surrounds who could do this?

Thanks

Mine appear to be leaking a bit of oil. Might have to find another housing
Buy the marlin crawler HD seals and you will never have to worry about leaking hubs again.

Didn't make my post very clear. The diff housing is actually leaking oil from where the radius arm bracket is cracked. If the ...

Mines just done the exact same thing. Thinking of stripping the diff and getting a superior diff brace kit. Will need to make sure housing is not bent. I am blaming the iron man adjustable caster bushes. Found a few pic.s of broken RHS side radius arm mounts. Maybe it is a bit common. Mine appear to ...

It was the Globes, all four! Well the two park globes and the low beams in the outer headlights. Thinking may have got a voltage stike or something. Check the alternator 14.5 volt output. Drove around all xmas hols without a drama. Just don't understand how all globes could go at once

Maybe it's something silly like that.

Not that silly. Will check. Sometimes you forget to check the simple things and just assume they couldn't all go at once. So I will check to be sure. Thanks.

p.s My money is still on the stalk or colunm thought

Had a bit of problem over the weekend. My headlights stopped working!
Only my high beam flash function and (push forward high beams stay on worked). So no park lights or normal lights.

I checked the fuses etc but think it is in the headlight control stalk. When I turn the lights on the dashlights ...

you to hit the taper bit (not the bolt) as hard as you can with heavy hammer. You need to shock it lose not bash it repeatedly. Might help if you try to level it out a bit (with big tyre level etc) while you hit it. Also might help if you have a 2nd person. so you can concerntrate on using the ...

I'd probably say get the toyota. Think retail is $350+. I think i paid $270 which was meant to be trade! Before that i had bosch which were a lot cheaper (used mates trade account) cant remember what they cost. But snapped in half when trying to remove them from the plugs after only 10,000ks (to ...

I don't really know much about diesel models. but check it does jump out of 5th gear. have to the main bearings in the engine being replaced? The factory turbo engines very dear to rebuild! (if they let go)

My mate has one and it flys (goes really well!!!) and quite economical. But he just had the ...

Open centre diffs are pretty easy to come across. If you are talking about the 4wd systems lokka, pretty sure they now do it to suit LSD hemisphere.

Otherwise just buy detroit style/brand (pretty much same thing) also pretty sure they do to suit LSD centre probably get a good deal if you buy from ...

What model is the 83? (LN65 etc?) Think you'll find the later model extra cabs will be different mainly through the front panel - raditor support panel. But not 100% sure. All the later 90's model extra cabs are independent front end. so i believe the chassis is different (mainly in the front ...

When using 240 volt power in the house my 80 litre waeco seems to run all the time. It is the new or current model with auto turbo built in (no button for it)

I think that with the varable speed compressor (when on 240 volt) it will run at low speed to avoid stop/starting all the time. I found ...

I prefer mine part time. Was a bit clunky in the drive line after 300 thou! Plus i like been able to select 2WD or 4WD. i wouldn't say it makes the car feel more powerful. What 100 series have you got? - part time kit doesn't work with ABS model i've been told. need to check that out

Thanks mate! downloaded the updates and seems to have fixed it. Thought i had already downloaded all the updates but i hadn't. all seems to be good now. cheers

I have a new Garmin nuvi 1390 which seems to be turning itself off, only near speed camera's (fixed ons including red light).

have done a bit of search of the net and some garmin gps do seem to have a problem of powering themselves down. But mine seems only to be doing near fixed speed camera's and ...

To set timing on 80's

Warm up motor.
Early 80 1fz-fe 4.5 injected
bridge (with small bit of service wire) TE1 and E1 in the little black diagnosis box on passanger firewall.
Timing should be 3 degree BTDC @ idle. move distributor to adjust.

Later 80 1fz-fe (80 update or 100 series)
Need to connect ...

To get the rebate. i did it when they first came in. All you needed where receipts and a licenced gas installer to sign it off.

So you could use a receipt for the engine with the kit gas as long as it clearly says gas kit of lpg kit clearly in the reciept. But must add up to 1750 or more to get ...

Should be no reasons why you cant fit the V8 conversion out of a single cab into a 4 runner, different models but pretty similar. But pretty sure you'll find a few things don't line up!

you'll have mod tailshafts and a few other things may be a bit out.

But you already have a working V8 lux so don ...

Total? per diff? gear box? bit more info reg'd!

Not quite sure what you mean? Had a look at your old thread. Think the R series 4 runner box you've got wont fit the bell housing (marks 4wd bell housing?) and it would not fit the G52 box. marks used to make a bellhousing to suit a diahatsu gearbox (heavy duty from truck) I came across one when i ...

I have an 80 series landcuiser with a 4wd systems smart solenoid and two new extreme exide 85ah batteries (lead acid). I don' think i'm going to have a enough power once the warmer months arrive - 80 waceo a bit thirsty! At the moment provided I do a bit of driving no problems (one day and half out ...

Just recently had the same problem with my 80 series! Burnt out exhuast valve will most likely be the cause. Mine was down at 30 psi on the dead cylinder rest 175psi. pull the valve cover off and check the clearences - exhaust valve will have run out of clearance and burnt out.

it cost me 1100 to ...

Marks 4wd do an adaptor to fit R series (same as dyna pattern) to G52 or W-- bellhousing. it a plate thats bolts to the gear box and is tapped to G52 etc patten. The adator plate move gearbox back which means need to run bigger spigot bush(same lenght as adator plate!) Not cheap $400 or more a few ...

Every hilux gearbox (broken) that i have seen has taken a tooth off the cluster shaft (usually second gear). I recently saw a reco gearbox that had done a 150 kilometers (highway k's only) and broke the input shaft gear/1st gear. After a bit of a shit fight he was given the parts to fix it only ...

Gearbox will probably blow! depends how you drive it. But even if you take it easy it still may blow. The standard gearbox in my lux didn't blow with a 308 but it was replaced with a dyna (marks 4wd) when i found a cheap one. Your lux should have 4.5 diff gear which will fine for the bush, unless ...

I would recommend getting vavle clearences checked. Tend to lose clearance faster on lpg. once valve loses clearence will burn out. I learnt once the hard way. head shop said to check clearence every 40,000ks on lpg. Whereas manual says 100,000ks for petrol only. i would also reconmend getting it ...
