Anyone know if there is a standalone ecu available to run a 1KD-FTV engine ? from a late model Diesel Hilux

Was there ever any doubt ? :finger: So as of today I am now the proud owner of 3.9 ratio front and rear air locked centres . So 4.8's or 4.5 gears, either way I need to purchase transfer gears as the inchworm adapter is 23 spline . Need a hand to put that gearbag in ? Id be keen as for even a ride ...

Planning and purchasing for my Hilux project and am looking at diff's, gears, transfer reduction etc.. The power is from a 1UZ to a 4 speed auto through a Hilux transfer to Landcruiser diff centres turning 315/75X16 (35's) tyres, maybe 37's for play, this car will also have full N.T rego . Up here ...

I had the same symptoms in a 75 series I had, The fuel pump inside the injection pump was the culprit

Hmmm ! more searching, Has anyone had any dealings with Hannemann fibreglass or Fibreworx ? I have not contacted them yet as the prospect of freight from the U.S is still scaring me http://www.hannemannfiberglass.com/custom.asp?id=457567&page=60" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http ...

Morning Last night I spend hours on the interwebs looking for wheel arch flares wide enough to cover http://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc477/Aaron_vdj76/Hilux%20build/PA090027_zps25f103fa.jpg I started with some barwork and was going to infill with some plastic but it looks like it come off the ...

Same front diff since 75-80 series . 3.9:1 ratio for the V8

Actually think some of the 100's had the stronger front diff .......

I've have friends with utes that have done a radiator the air bleed point cracked and leaked from the top tank, another mate in a Ute did a water pump as it was leaking from the telltail. Rear brake pad wear is excessive at times when the vehicle is used as a 4wd and the handbrake is sh!t. I can't ...

I have a 2009 which now has 125,000 km which has the usual mod's bar, winch, lift, dual tyre carrier, 285 mud terrains we have toured with it both up here and through the desert and Flinders area. I have not had a break down or needed to replace any major (expensive) part. My only complaint is they ...

Thanks guy's

Noob question ... who are the agents in Australia for Fox and King off road shocks ?

Google gives me Kings Aust. site under construction and Fox shox an Import tuner ?

Thinking of a 9 inch travel pin-pin shock would like a remote res.

Fantastic ! that's just what I wanted to hear . Thanks again guy's

Thanks for that looks as tho' I have made a presumption that the front was different coz the back was . The plan was for an eaton locker, good axles and braced housing . Thanks again

Hi guy's Looking to beef up an 105 series Landcruiser front axle and notice there is not a huge aftermaket support for this axle . I read that the front axle has a different spline count to a 80 series (larger diameter??) so parts don't just swap over, I also read that the extra width of the 105 ...

Seeing as this popped up I'll add my $0.02 ..... 76 Landcruiser wagon 285/75 x 16 KM2's I have 6 of them did 90,000km on them and on sold them with 8mm of tread left to buy another set. Love 'em would recommend them to anyone lot's of bitumin and corrogated dirt not the greatest mud tyre but still O ...

I've only got 3rd hand info but they are all supposed to be the same length, have the same bushes, caster etc.

On a work car a tailshaft was replaced "out bush" and the vehicle had a vibration that couldn't be found ...turn's out that the flange on the gearbox and the yoke (?) on the tailshaft self align via a protrusion on the yoke this was too large on the yoke, the fella fitting the shaft did the bolts up ...

AFAIK they need to be true or they could get a whip happening at speed, I can't see how a bowed or bent shaft could be balanced

Tis 1 3/4 CDW tube ....

5.3.4 BACKSTAYS
Backstays shall be attached near the roofline and near the top outer bends of the main roll bar on both sides of the vehicle. They shall be at angle of at least 30 degrees with the vertical, shall run rearwards and be straight

No problem with the 285's without any lift ...I have 0 offset on the Allied Savannah 16X8's with no issues . Mine is a wagon but front is the same and I can't imagine too many problems with the rear being a tray

Has anyone had a clutch out of alignment before. If the clutch plate is out of alignment u wont get the gearbox back on, unless off course your spigot bearing has disappeared. Maybe the bearing is rooted? As cranky said and if so, when you put your foot on the clutch, the plate would centre anyway ...

Thanks for the tips guy's the guide Evan send is exellent and the JD2 manual really bangs it home so next weekend I'll make a start

Cheers

Another strut failure on a Hilux

Can anybody point me in the right direction, I'm looking for some reading material regarding bending tube .

I'm looking for maybe a guide to the mathmatics behind the bending eg: how much to allow for a bend, gains, losses etc.

Cheers

Taipan on mine happy with that ..as Joshy said easy to fit ...access dump pipe bolts through the plastic splash guard in the wheel arch with an open end ring spanner, tis easier than trying from underneath with a socket, swivel extension etc.

Thanks for the suggestions guy's will look into it

cheers

Bru I got hold of a 105 series rear chassis cut (minus centre and axles), not sure of what year, thinking it should be a reasonably straight forward conversion . Measured from wheel mount surface to wheel mount surface on the 105 series and the front of my 09 76 series and found the 105 series 50mm ...
