You don't want the water to pump too fast for a W2AIC. I use a Bosch Cobra pump on mine and it has been to hell and back and still going strong. Flows about 25L/m IIRC. These pumps are used in a few of the OEM vehicles with W2AIC set ups. I got mine from Frozen Boost but they can be sourced locally ...

If your auto is the earlier hydraulic gearbox you shouldn't have any issues getting it to work. On the other hand, if it's electronic, it'll be pretty hard without a stand alone computer for the gearbox. I use the Compu-Shift in mine and it works perfectly. The best part is you can put in any engine ...

Don't think it can be done. When I converted mine to auto (A442F electronic) I ran the compu-shift trans computer and it works a treat. Wholesale Auto sells them for a pretty penny

The 1FZFE is very hard on exhaust manifolds, especially mild steel units. They fail mainly because they don't have the expansion section to cater for the heat. Whatever you build needs to be a 2pc unit if you want it to last. Safari wouldn't have gone to all the extra trouble of doing so if it ...

I spent ages trying to get a good brake pedal after changing some brake lines. After bleeding them a million times and testing everything else, I decided to re-bleed them a different way - here's what I did and will most likely fix your issue...

Take a 5m length of 5mm PVC clear tube (make sure it ...

I get all my drawer slides from here. Very good service and products.

Metabo make a really nice high torque drill perfect for hole sawing and other applications where torque is preferred over speed (about 75nm IIRC). I forget the model designation but its around the $350 mark and will last you a life time. You will kill a cheap ass drill in now time when used in high ...

I'm on my 2nd set of KM2's. I was going to give the MTZ's a run, based on a mates good experiences, but none were availablie at the time. While the 1st set of KM2's wore a little quicker than I'd hoped, I had also been driving them exceptionally hard off road - especially along fast moving stretches ...

With the car idling, hold a piece of paper against the exhaust outlet. If the piece of paper is blown away and sucked back in quickly, then it's a good chance it's a stuffed exhaust valve.

Work out the volume of the tank then dilute the required amount of Bi-Carb Of Soda in hot water and pour into tank then fill to rim with fresh water. This cleans off any crap that may have already started to grow and keeps it sanitised when not in use. Simply drain and flush it a couple of times ...

When I removed mine, I gave it a pretty good clean using those $2cans of Export degreaser from Supercheap (best degreaser ever I recon). But I ended up taking it to my engine builder with the rest of the engine and they put it in the hot tank (which is safe for soft metals like alloy and brass). I ...

Not sure what brand they are but I used a set of Top-Gun leads in my cruiser cos they were half the price of Toyota leads - Surely there couldn't be that much difference in quality...

HA!!! how wrong was I- 6 months later I went to check the plugs and all the leads had melted to the plugs. Took me ...

I've bought a 18v Milwaukee rattle gun and drill off these guys and they were good to deal with. http://www.toolstop.co.uk/

So much cheaper than buying them here and all I had to do use the UK style plugs on the chargers was buy a couple of power point adapters for $5 each from Dick Smith. Works a ...

I doubt it's the clutch fork because if it was stuffed, you wouldn't be able to disengage the clutch.

If you push the clutch in and it makes a noise, it's usually a sign of a worn throw out bearing. If the clutch is engaged and it's making noise, it's often a sign of a worn/stuffed input shaft ...

Since fitting the EFI, have you had the engine dyno'd to see what the AFR's are? - if it's running too lean, combustion temps will be up and placing too much effort on the cooling ability of the oil and the coolant.

Sometimes, overheating issues are not directly related to a coolant system ...

Has this 'overheating ' been an issue right from the start or only just recently?

If it's the latter, then the cooling system is most likely at fault and in need of attention/repairs.

Well a bonnet scoop isn't going to solve your problems no matter how many fit.

When was the last time the cooling system was checked / repaired??? Clogged radiator or partially stuffed thermostat are the most likely causes.

I wouldn't drive it too far without getting it fixed - an engine rebuild ...

These guys will have something to suit your needs and they are well priced, work well and reliable.

Yes a mate bought a set for his 80 series a couple of years ago. Not 100% where he got them from but ? Got them on the net for only $90 a piece

He's not after info about greaseable CV's made FOR a Toyota, but if greaseable CV's have been made BY Toyota as an OEM part.

From my research, I can not ...

Usually placing a suitably sized socket over the end cap and giving it a few good hits will see it come loose. Also try to set up the driveshaft so there is no bouncing or other movement when you hit the socket - a few blocks of wood should do the trick.

If that fails, you can set them up in a vice ...

I've had Warn Hi Mount 8274 kicking round the garage for a couple of years that I scored of a mate. It is without a motor or solenoid pack but my plan was to install a 6hp motor I have and he had 2 cross braces welded on the rear to prevent any distortion. Not long after I got it, I stripped it down ...

First of all, you need to make sure it's dead - just because it stopped because it has water in it doesn't mean it's dead, especially petrol engines.

Unless you have obvious signs the engine is ruined (such as a piston hanging out the side of the block, there are a heap of threads here showing you ...

I've never had any issues with either Dynamica or ROH steel rims, both have withstood significant punishment. I believe the Dynamica rims are used on many of the Landcruisers in the mines as they have the highest load carrying capacity and are certified as such.

Hi guys,

A put in a new VSR and it's working perfectly now.

Even the head unit works that I was having difficulties with in another thread.

Thanks for the tips guys. They all helped narrow it down.

BBM have a tough airline sold per metre. Used it myself without any issues. It pays to double up on the hose clamps too and don't forget to use good quality SS ones at that.

Hi guys thanks for the replys.

I've double checked all the earth cables and fitted another from the chassis to the gearbox and chasis to body. More so just to make sure as I couldn't find any voltage drop at any of the existing earth points.

I'm convinced the Redarc is dead and have a mate ...

Frist the history...

I recently moved my three batteries from the engine bay to behind the drivers seat on my 80s. They are all 130a/h Trojan Deep Cycle batteries. One battery is used for starting and the other two are wired in paralell. They are all connected using 70mm2 tinned copper marine cable ...

I just installed a new Pioneer DEH-P9850BT head unit into the 80. I turned it on and played about 2 songs through the Ipod before the music went all fuzzy (like radio interference) and the head unit started flashing on and off, before turning off all together.

I turned the ignition off, then back ...

The main reason for a flip arm is best explained as follows:

If you were to c`arry a wheel barrow full of bricks with the handles held up high, you'd have great difficulty trying to steer it. Likewise, because the barrow's handles are up so high, hitting bumps would cause considersble jarring.

On ...

Is the high steer and panhard mount extension required to do this?

And don't know if its possible but instead of using high steer to get the steer arm flat, could i drop pitman arm be used? I was thinking along the lines of an IFS hilux arm, from memory they are around 2" more drop than the 80 ...
