Re: Diff centre is leaking

Yeah the pinion nut hadn't been broken into the thread to lock it so easily came loose. Centre is probably on its way to being totally farked, there is alot more (like 30mm) backlash in the pinion now, but doesnt move sideways though. just a pain with the oil leaking and coating the underneath of ...

Diff centre is leaking

Hey there everyone, I have replaced the rear diff centre in my 84 HJ47, with what i was told was a centre from a newer cruiser, possibly a 75 or a 79?? It is a 4.11 ratio, the same as standard for the 47. I had someone install it for me, and when i got the car home i noticed oil patches on the ...

Re: 40 series indicator woes

As you can clearly see we all have had dramas with the idicator light set up.. I used heat shrink over the wires on mine and then clipped them to the guard edge it is a slightly longer set of wires but utilizing the edge of the guard keeps the 40 look but provides wire protection.. that works for ...

Re: 40 series indicator woes

Use double insulated electrical wire from the factory lights through to the connection inside the engine bay. It is a lot tougher than the factory wiring. I don't like the look of 75 series lights on a 40, i reckon it spoils that classic 40 look. i have found that you can only use a thin wire as ...

Re: glow plug solenoid

The only way 10.5 or 12 volts plugs should be installed into a HJ 47 is because someone has bypassed the entire superglow system and replaced it with a home made wilson switch setup. Do you have a manual push button to activate the glows? The normal superglow is pretty much automatic, you glow by ...

Re: glow plug solenoid

Well, we don't know what model Landcruiser it is, so we need that info. If it's the superglow that's used in 'Cruisers from '83 to '88, they use 6 volt plugs, by applying 12 volts direct to the glow plugs, you'll kill them. As for how the superglow works, there's the glow timer, which is inside the ...

is there a difference in fuel efficiency with the 60 and 76. as said earlier they are the same except for you can tweak the 76 more.
so what is the difference like in fuel efficiency between running low boost like 5 psi and running a higher boost like 15 psi??
