Outer Limits 4x4 Board

ps. I added Castrol Activ 2T oil.

Gday, I'm running a little test regarding 2 Stroke Oil mixed into my diesel to aid in lubricating my injector pump and injectors. I own a 2003 HZJ79 with 240,000km on the clock. My car had developed a strange whistle (which I was thinking was a exhaust issue) and was hard to start hot (cold started ...

Have been thinking turbo, but am unsure. Many users get great results and many claim it pops their engine. If I was going turbo I'd swap in a 1HD-FT or FTE instead. I have also been reading about adding 2 stroke oil to the fuel which I just did about 100km ago. I have noticed the whistle seems to ha...

Cheers!
I'll send the pump off for a rebuild. Probably could use one after 240,000km.
Anyone know who makes a good set of extractors for these engines?

Gday all, I drive a 2003 Hzj79 series with about 240,000km on the clock. I have a couple of questions. First- My ute starts fine cold. Glow it till the light dissapears and the normally 1 revolution sees he going. When hot but its a totally different ballgame taking 10-15 cranks before kicking over ...

A mate owns that truck now. His name is also Glen.45 cab has been sold of and its being converted to a patrol. Glenn bought the truck complete for an absolute steal. I'll get some suspension pics next time I'm there or get Glenn to post himself.

Sweet lookin rig, what sort of tyres are they?

"Makes you smell nice and beautiful does it?"
Hahaha

Yeah mate, I had a 1989 FJ 62 with the 3F in it. Couldn't kill it.

We have a 1995 8o with the 4.5l. It pulls hard stock. A set of extractors and a decent exhaust would be great. I used to have a 60 series with the 3f (carby) The 80 goes almost twice as far, twice as fast!

Sweet info!!!
loosecanon, did you hit any major problems so far? different bodyy i know, but all info is helpful.

Cheers for the info guys, Sounds doable!!!
A build up thread will follow in the coming months.

Gday all, I currently roll around in a 79 series ute with the 1HZ, slow!! Just bought a rolled 80 series with the 1HDT in it. What I'm wondering is the legality of dropping the ute body onto the 80 chassis? Then I get turbo plus wider track plus coils (YAY) Has anyone done this swap before? Thanks Mic

What are you saying???

Circlip pliers is what they are

I made a few doing my trade (Coach and Body Builder)
What do you need to know about?

I fitted these to our rural fire trucks (Nissan Patrol and Mitsubishi Canter)about 4 months ago. So Far wearing well and awesome traction in the hills (as you would expext with a canter that weighs 5.7tonne wet) Tread Squirms alittle at road speeds, but thats not where we spend most of our time. Ohh...
