F.y.I you only need to turn the crank shaft 120 degrees at a time , 3 times Cylinders are in paired, test 1-6. 2-5.and 3-4. The mark on the harmonic balancer will denote the no1 piston is at tdc....no6 is also at tdc but the valve timing is 180degrees opposite to number 1 ...one piston on compressi...

Corolla Does any more really need to be said? Like any brand, if they're well looked after they'll give good service. Unlike any other brand, a pre-2000 carrolla will suffer all manner of abuse and refuse to die. Perhaps a toyota forum, rather than an offroad 4x4 one, would net you more experience.

Not LSD tho.

Yep I'm going to get D21 lsd, or a locker, just wondering if upgrade the original or do it in a Y61.
So the Y61 are twin pots too? Sounding like the way to go.

MihiT

Y61 calipers won't bolt to a Y60 diff, bolt spacings are different. TB42E twin pot calipers will fit and work extremely well, I had them on mine.....like hens teeth to find though!. Y61 diff will bolt straight in, approx 40mm wider overall. I did this conversion to my GQ 12mths ago. Try and get the...

MihiT

Ok I'll get the injectors looked at then. Is there a way of doing the ECU relearn myself or does it need to be a mechanic with a special gizmo? The heat function is nothing to do with the radiator, it's a preheat of some sort which helps it idle better in cold conditions, whethers it's glow plugs o...

MihiT

Also are Y61 twin pot calipers a straight bolt-on to the Y60?

MihiT

I want more traction up front (LSD) and uprated brakes, I've read that the Y61 have stronger kingpins and twin pot calipers etc, so wondering how easy it is to make a Y61 front axle fit the Y60? The alternative is TB42 calipers and a D21 LSD into my existing axle but that needs different rotors? and...

As title. H233. 1989 code on the crown wheel, ex truck 280kms.
Could be welded, or you guys probably know what better to do with it!
Teeth all there, bearings quiet and smooth.

Offers $, or swap 31 spline LSD, locker, WHY.

MihiT

Always with automatics I suspect the box/ clutch first! Check the fluid for a start. Resetting the ECU/ TCU and letting it relearn may help. Other than that, if injectors haven't been done, do them. If you crack the feed lines while it's running, and one cylinder doesn't make a difference, you will ...

I'm also interested in this. I have heard tell that boating shops/ chandlers stock dyneema (or an unbranded equivalent) at a fraction of the cost from 4wd shops.
I know nylon rope works well in tow/snatching applications, but might bind up on a winch drum under load?
Let us know what you end up with.

MihiT

Not specific to the car, but you should be able to trace the wiring colours from the harness at each end. if there are 3 pins at your motor then it will be GND, FWD/up and REV/down. If only two it's a bit trickier as the polarity is swapped for fwd/rev, if it IS two wire, then the issue you describe...

He wrote both . Guard /tire coverage and then 8 inch rims lvv plate on the line below . Yea ill look into it properly in the future . Have you just got the 50mm flexi flares ? I'd find another WOF guy! I just DIYd some, on advice from members here. I think they're about 30mm outside stock guards.

MihiT

What was the actual WOF failure? I was failed on "tread outside guards" with x10.5s on 8" rims. Currently running 33x10.5 on 7" rims, -19, with flares. Goodrich's 32x11.5s minimum recommended is 8"w, but the 33x10.5 suits 7" So you'll have to look at the manufacturers s...

I guess you mean captive nuts... my first port of call would be Steelmasters (kiwi made) and failing that any engineering shop.

duration open on the valve for rotation of the cam as i understand. then its a 4 cycle engine so cam is driven 50% of the cranks rotation. Yeah, but with a number like 240 I'd expect that is crank degrees (180+ 30 +30) for BTDC to ATDC, unless I'm missing something? (I probably am!) There was a rea...

Hmm. I've googled that up and every one I've seen is in the same place. Realistically there isn't anywhere to hang it driverside. I will keep an eye out though.

think i googled it to be 240 odd degrees a while back. your thoughts for splitting the manifold could work well with the firing order. mate has a similar split manifold with a big holset and it goes bloody well. I didn't have any luck on the google. that's cam degrees not crank, aye? That's nearly ...

Thanks for all the input. I'm not so much looking to boost it, I'm more looking to de-restrict it. I have thought about doing a twin-intake as well, maybe twin snorkel, with full size feeds to the front and back 3 cyls. (or am I better off feeding 1 3 5/ 2 4 6?) Does anyone have a stuffed TD42 head ...

MihiT

Just seeking input from anyone who knows, or has actually done work with n/a TD42. I will do anything to this motor except turbo it. From everything I have read (all anecdotal on internet forums) the TD42's head flows pretty well, and the stock exhaust manifold is pretty effective, which leads to th...

It sounds to me like an earth leak somewhere, this could be in the starter as sugested, the other likely culprit is the alternator. Failing either of these, a wire rubbed through somewhere to earth, or even corroded or dodgy connection on the hot side, again, alt and starter would be the first culpr...

Aftermarket programmable remotes should be available at most locksmiths, if you have any interest in keeping it.

Would goosenecking a formerly ford transit-camper and putting a class 5/ turntable on my truck be up your alley? Follow-up question, could you make a quick-detach turntable hitch?

Clutch is a bleed line - I guess not really necessary but easier than bleeding from below. Vacuum tank is because the clutch also has vacuum boost like the brake. Is it really worth the effort of moving / removing everything? There's plenty of space, and "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" ...

I'm not sure what Mr. Nissan was thinking, why is there so much excess under the bonnet?? Clutch - there is a tee block, one of which heads to the slave cylinder, the other through a coil and up to a bleed valve. What is the point?? Can I just blank this coil off? Is it for extra fluid, or cooling? ...
