80 Series gearbox speedo drive pin lost...new one?

I had my HZJ80 cruiser gearbox & transfer case out a few days ago to replace the engine rear main seal and the gearbox output seal (goes between transfer case and gearbox). Job was big for my standards but went smoothly EXCEPT, I lost the drive pin that goes between the speedo gear drive and the ...

Re: Dynema rope fitting

Thanks Guys,

I'll follow the advice and fit a sheath to the first layer (I bought a 4m one) and use the shorter one that came with the Dynema rope for the hook end.

Cheers,

Colin,

Dynema rope fitting

Hey Guys, I bought a new winch cable/rope to replace my damaged steel cable on my XD9000. Got a 28m Dynema rope. It has a black protector over the rope. Is that protector supposed to go on the winch anchoring end to protect from the drum and heat OR on the hook/splice end for abraision and UV ...

Hi Guys, My 80 series has had a rumbling coming from the rear of the car for a while now. Only noticable with a neutral load. ie not accelerating, not engine braking. It has got a bit worse of late. I though it was uni joints. But today, while under the car, I noticed the diff flange was a bit ...

Re: 1HZ Poor fuel economy

Sounds like time for a valve adjustment and injector pump service.

Valve adjustment is very important on these engines.

Re: 1HZ 80 series turbo questions. NOW Project update.

Time for an update. I found a std manifold at the local wrecker - $150. So put it on, drilled and tapped the hole for the pyro. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_nfvLbSKe6eg/TXdjrT6kC2I/AAAAAAAAAN4/sGu1uKwv6BM/s800/P1010761.JPG Then fitted the adaptor plate from Matt Mcinnes. https://lh4 ...

Re: 105 series 1HZ-T intercooler idea

Did you get your intercooler finished?

Do you still have the plate you machined to fit the std manifold? Or a drawing of it?

Re: Water to air intercoolers

OK. Christmas is over. Onto the important stuff.....

Where is this up to? Is there pictures of heat exchanger? Pump location? Do you run the heat exchanger pump always or on a temperature sensor?

Re: 1HZ 80 series turbo questions.

For the turbo cooling, I guess, everyone picks up water from the heater circuit. I can see direction of flow in heater control valve. Looks easy enough to 'T' into these lines. My question is does this affect the heater? Is the path of least resistance through the turbo OR the heater circuit? I'm ...

Project update.

ARGH! The plan was to use std 1hz manifold, matt's adaptor, fabricate dump pipe and 3" exhaust form local shop. Sounds simple. I started pulling the exhaust and heat shields off yesterday. I founds the std manifold has a crack in it. Bugger. So, I either need to use the 1HZ-T3 Denco (that I have ...

Re: 1HZ 80 series turbo questions.

Nice work.

How did you form the pipe to fit the flange so well? Anvil & hammer? Heat?

Have you still got a flex joint?

Colin,
