Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I have a couple of Toyota's, none of which have had any issues I would consider Toyota's fault.


Vehicles are 73 x 2, 75, 80 and a 100.

All have perfectly fine operating handbrakes.

Perhaps it comes from a good maintenance history.

What issues are you actually having?

Red Devil at Oxenford Gold Coast were really price competitive when I bought mine.

It was $330, try them or perhaps any red devil, Brass/copper one, not plastic

I was surprised they were so reasonably priced, as previous experience with them wasn't so nice

they are a great motor. if on gas watch out for overheating, or smoke on startup/running (particually cold starting) check if there's been any head work done. also check if the petrol system works proper too, if you think you will ever run it on petrol. It can be expensive and tricky to fix. Smoke ...

Hi Guys, I have a dual fuel FJ73 (3f motor) On LPG its fine, on Petrol its not getting any fuel at all. I just replaced the fuel filter, and it appears the new one was blocked. It was working perfectly ok yesterday, however today when I changed back to fuel it stalled, and it reluctantly starts on ...

semi-related question

What if you have removed the subtank, how do you stop this light coming on?

RAY185 wrote:LPG

I'll second that

I have a 3F on LPG, and out of 75 litres I get 350Km give or take a bit.

on Petrol I get about the 250 range as well.

Scott,

The fan speed has no effect on the sound, other than when its off, the sound is gone.

HI All,

Recently my fan has started to interfere with the FM radio in my FJ73.

It Is definitely the fan, as with the fan off the radios crystal clear.

When its on I can hear a static type noise on the radio.


Could someone give me a tip as to where to start looking?

Matthew

Have u got a pic of them?

I think I may have the same type, but cant recall the name exactly.

5500 for a rebuild, jebus!!! Is that just factory specs or tricked up a bit? Might just go the 2nd hand route i guess. What lets go in them? I'm not really up to speed on auto's :oops: The temp light comes on, but the oil on the dipstick is cold as. The pumps are about $1400 2nd hand average. And ...

Ok well i have been looking at an 80 series that i have found through a friend of a friend. A little old lady owns it and it has been sitting for over 12mths because 'something' is wrong with it. I threw a battery in it this arvo and it started first crank, but i couldn't take it for a drive ...

Heath,

They should have the same rear springs as the following:

BJ73 BJ74 FJ70 FJ73 FJ74 1984-1993

The UTE rears have bigger bushes I believe - someone else may know 100%

I don't want it anymore (does reverse psychology work?)

Hey Steve, what are you going to do with that after you've made a new one?

Beat me too it :(

I have older 70 series (3f powered) I run the pertronics ignition in the stock dizzy, works a treat I use some GT40R bosch coil, and good leads, seems to work well. I chose the stock dizzy with pertronics as i figured if my dizzy dies a stock one should be cheaper to obtain a replacement. I also get ...

PPC make some other colors.

Not sure if the temp rating is high enough for your BBQ?

I took a stab in the dark and replaced the sensor.

It seems to work fine, engine was warmish, swapped it over, and it reads normal temp.


I think the old one just died a nasty death rather quickly.


Thanks for your help

it worked perfectly yesterday and for the last 5 years I replaced it once when I replaced the thermostat housing (as the old one was stuck in)

Hi Guys

I have a '85 FJ73 landcruiser

Shortly after starting the car, and driving all of 10 mins the temp gauge hit the top and stayed there.

I stopped and checked the radiator and it was warm but not boiling hot.

Would this be normal behavior for a faulty temp sender unit?

Yeh tis a nice option, but just be careful though, as technically you have LPG lines running into the cabin which is illegal. Interesting, I have my LPG in the back of my wagon, fitted by a Gas Fitting shop and passed with mod plate. At the tank the lines are inside my cabin. I guess it cant be all ...

I dont have a 60 I have a 73 midi.

Mines a bar across the back from side to side with the restraint clips on it.


I'll try to find a pic for you

After speaking with Ryco I got this letter in the mail. Seems they have been made overseas for many years, and claim to be equivalent to genuine. Thank you for your enquiry. To remain competitive in the Automotive Aftermarket local manufacturing in Australia was ceased several years ago. Since then ...

you will need to look at the bar fridge and see its wattage or how many amps it will draw then go from there. May need to increase the wattage on the back of the fridge ~40% to allow for start up current surge when you are looking at inverter specs. So say it says 80watts , does this mean I + 40 ...

Hi all I am wondering about the possibility of running my bar fridge off an inverter? its a small Kmart module (the really tiny one about 60cm square) We run this in our caravan which works fine at 'van parks where 240 is avail. Just wondering if anyone knew what size inverter and wattage I require ...

when replacing them ensure that you use the paste that is recommended for the module. it helps to transfer the heat out of the module into the dizzie. It seems when I buy the modules they come with paste, however over time it seems to melt away leaving it dry and causin the module to malfunction ...

I have the same problem with a '93 magna. Ignition modules for these older cars are relatively cheap however, they dont seem to last long. Does anyone have any advice as to why? I also noticed once it stopped running properly, if i let it cool down it'll work for a minute or so too, sometimes 5-10 ...

I got mine years ago from:

www.frp.com.au

42 High St
Kippa Ring, QLD 4021
(07) 3883 2713

They are a lot dearer these days

gearbox 3.9l
transfer case 1.1l

and personal choice i'd use penrite Transaxle 75

Perhaps bogged was having a bog

PFJ,

I have a 85 model, and I just changed over to a late 90's model steering wheel off a 75 series.

Its quite a bit smaller, dont know if its 'sporty' enough for you?

certainly looks less like a tractor or bus drivers wheel
