75 diferences

[known 2]

are there any diferences between the 1980's 75's and the updated 90's model apart from engine and grill.

and are the gearboxes in the later model the same as 100 series 5 spd's

thanks

in the much later ones the part time gearbox in the 105 series is the same as the 79 series i'm pretty sure.

the other main differences between the early 90's and 80's 75 series is the smaller 8 inch front diff in the 90's and the 1hz instead of the 2h.

the doors are diffrent on the 2h compard to the 4.2 from what i was told when trying to buy a drivers door for my 86 model

so i'm guesing that if i get a 79 series gearbox i could put a 2uz v8 in there with just new engine mounts

are the gearboxes and rear diff the same in later models and are the cv's and front diff an improvment over the 1980 version

on the newer ones, the front cv's are the same...


front diff is pissweak compared to the older cruisers

You'd need to get the Bellhousing aswell and probably the clutch setup

[badger]

doesnt 79 series run the r series box?

you need a h series box to bolt up to a 2uz...............along with 2000 worth of bellhousing and clutch

As long as we are talking about the 75 series, not the 2000+ 79 series, the major difference is the engine and the front diff.

1985-1989:
Diesel: 2H 6-cylinder engine, 3B 4-cyl available in other markets, e.g. Europe.
Petrol: 3F 6-cylinder.

1990-1999:
Diesel: 1HZ 6 cyl. , 1PZ 5 cyl. available in other markets.
Petrol: the 3F continued until 1992, with the 1FZFE starting in 1993 model year. The 1FZF without EFI was available a year earlier, in 1992, in other markets like South America and Africa.

All diesel 75 series from 1985 to 1999 have the H55f iron case gearbox, except for the lighter duty PZJ75 which comes with the alloy R151, the same ones that the current n.a. diesel 78 series and 100 series have. Petrol 75 series also have the H55f until the 1FZF/1FZFE becomes available, at which point the gearbox used is the larger alloy H150f, the ones in the current turbo diesel 78 series and part time 80 series. Some third world countries also received 4 speed versions of these gearboxes.

The transfers are the same, the split case BF1A, the one used in the 60 series. The only exception is the 1FZF/1FZFE powered 75 series which used the larger also split-cased HF1A, the ones found also in the turbo diesel and petrol 78 series and part time 80 series.

Another major difference is the front diff. In 1990, all across the 75 series line Toyota switched to the high pinion diff with the smaller but reverse cut crown gear. The swivels and CV's were made slightly larger, though not as large as the 78 series. The front brake calipers also became larger to give better braking performance though the rotors did not change.

The rear diff stayed the same other than the switch from the optional cable locking diffs to the electric locking diffs in 1990, and the arrival of rear disc brakes in 1992.

There are also numerous minor alterations in fuel tank, wiring, instrument panel, interior/exterior trim and colour as already mentioned above.

I like all the info Dave i have a 92 model but i dont have the disk brakes on the back.So mine must be the last of the drums what a f&%k or well ya get that.

[known 2]

wow that was alot of info, good stuff. so when the change over hapened in 1989 the front diff got weeker but the cv's got stronger ? is the 1fz fe worth chasing for it's power or just stick with a 2h and turbo it.

[beanz2]

Uh, I got the disc brake date messed up. The start date for rear disc brakes is May '93

Yeah, in 1990 the front CVs got an extra reinforcing ring around the bell, but I don't know if they are that much stronger. The 1FZFE is heaps faster than the 2H, but it's quite thirsty for petrol. If I am going to the trouble of changing engines, I'd rather get the 1HDT or the 1HDFT in the turbo diesel 80 series, but that is just my opinion.

hahaha u think a 1fz is thirsty the 308 in my curnet 75 get around 40l per 100k's and thast driving easy, and i'm selling my curent truck and buying another so deciding wich engine to get, i like the 2h over stock 1hz for it strenth but i would like a 1fz-fe or maybe transplant a 1hd-fte that would be awsome

[dirty dan]

i have a 1fz 75 cruzer ute 94 model use it for work every day
cary a tone of shit on it goes really well heaps of power,
get about 380k's to a tank think its about 80 litres,if
i drive it nicely. had it 6 years nothing major gone wrong yet
replaced the clutch and brakes and keep it fully serviced
really happy with it.

[Rangie Thing]

quote__ I like the 2h over the 1hz for it's strenth.

is the 2h alot stronger than the 1hz? as i have worn out 2 of them, then put a 1hz in and had no problems.

Here is another bit of info.... My FJ70, (1990) originally fitted with a 3f, and h55f gear box has a high pinion front diff (75 series) with a rear drum diff with the 75 series casting center....... Must have been in the change over.

[known 2]

ok i thought all 75's had drum brake rear end up untill 1999.

and what i said about the 2h being stronger is can handle alot of turbo boost and not do it's big end bearings it's phisicly stonger in it's build
