Its a 90-91 80 series landcruiser, what ever the standard size sub tank is that came out with the 80 series.

Hi All,

Im thinking of fitting a Sub Tank to my truck as mine apparently didn't come with one as its a 3FE Auto.

Question:

Will the tank fit in as normal "like standard fitted vehicles"
Are all wiring points already there just a small plug in job.
Is the wiring in the dash there alreadyfor ...

Hi all,

Ive just purchased a 80 Series, trading in my GQ Patrol for it.

Its an Auto with 194,0000 K's on it and in very good condition, apparently this truck has seen very limited off road use.

Question

Are there any 3FE trick bits available or any engine mods that will improve the motor at all ...

Just had my water pump changed 2 weeks ago and the TB42 pump is not rebuildable

I just had the same problem with my GQ 4.2 petrol, loosing 2-3 lts of water over a 4 day period, dragged the old girl to the mechanic and it was the water pump, new pump installed and it running like a dream.

Thats been ip for auction quite a few times now, makes me wonder whats wrong with it.

I can get you the size of the GQ springs as I have a set in front of the garage but you'll have to wait till tomorrow arvo when I bring a tape home from work.

Thanks mate. I was thinking about taking it to pirtek tomorrow and getting a new line made up. I imagine they could just cut the rubber section off and attach a braided piece to ensure that it wouldnt happen again.

The car was damn heavy driving back out of the bush and 80 kms home.

Pirtek will ...

Go to Sims Metal Recyclers at St Marys, they have a seperate warehouse on site that sells new metal stock and they are the cheapest in sydney. I work in the metal industry as a self employed fitter/welder and thats where I get my material from.

I ran the new Bridgestone Duellers on my MQ and I reckon they a great tyre very very low road noise and great off road as well, they rated highly (3rd overall I think) in the 4x4 Monthly mag late last year when they did a extensive tyre test.

If you want a copy of the test I copy it for you and ...

As with most tools, but not all, you actually get what you pay for, spend cheap and thats what you usually get, quality does come at a premium.

I'm a fitter/welder by trade and have used one of them so called shitters (GMC) for near on 2 years now and it doesn't even look like stopping yet and I use it every day, not bad for 30 odd bucks

Thanks for all the F#$k'n help, hope that satifies some people !!!!!!

BTW - my clock is visable about 90% of the time and maintains correct time.

To recieve respect you should first try and earn it.

Find the dry solder joints which crack and loose connection, and resolder them.

mate just resoldered every joint. I just got a $10 watch from the servo and double sided taped it in place.

I asked about the clock not about sticking a bloody watch to the dash, already got one of them on me arm is ...

So could someone explain the actual fix for this problem .

How hard is it to remove the clock for re-soldering? Is it as simple as removing the facia (undo the screws I guess) and unplugging the wiring, or are there any 'tricks-of-the-trade' to know about?

Is it the same with the radio/cassette?

Cheers

What is the actual problem you are having with the ...

Bogged I have. But i get a reply with ... go to this link for a full list of what we have to cover your Patrol... so no answer then.

I was thinking [hoping] there might be people on this forum with a more detailed answer.

Also... maybe i asked one of my questions a bit confusingly as in my ...

i looked for additional manuals last night and came across a website called Pitstop Bookshop. They have an original Nissan Workshop Manual for $149AUD. Is that a fair price or is that waaaaaay to expensive? Is it worthwhile paying much more for the Nissan Manual vs. a Gregory's? Your thoughts would ...

Well guys I have installed the extended rotor just to see for myself what all the hype is, she does idle a bit better , but Ive seemed to have lost out on power to pull up hills at the normal rotor gave me.

In my Gregory's book there is a suppliment area at the back of the manual for the '94 onwards with the EFI info in it, actually I was looking at it last night.

ea throttle body fits i did it to mine. the mounting holes need elongation only. i would expect the inlet manifolds to be the same on carb/tbi so xf should fit.

What's it run like with the EA carby on it, and how do you hook up the wires for the electronic metering, any info you could share would ...

what about a EA throttle boby injection carby

With the threads regarding fuel economy and electroin ignition, I was just wondering if anyone has tried to lift the air cleaner cover up about 6-10mm above the air cleaner element basically the same way that the cleveland donks have theres set up at times.

i think he may be getting confused with the rotor gap and the spark plug gap performance igniton told me that i should open my spark plug gap up by 0.005 to get best spark and fuel burn they also said openning up the tappets a bit does these motors the world of good

No there is no confussion over ...
