Got a 97 Terrano, reverse lights don't come on when reverse is engaged.

Can't find a blown fuse, or even a fuse labelled rev lts for that matter. Bulbs are fine.

Where abouts on the trans is the switch? Are they a common failure point?

cheers all

You mean crack the return line at #5? Its an old mechanical diesel so no electronics there, and not common rail. So only common line between the two is the overflow rail that runs along all 6 injectors. Have cracked the HP line on all 6 and theres plenty of fuel at each, no overflow from any in the ...

Evening all, Got a Ford D series engine (2725E Model). Its a 6.2L inline 6 NA. Got a miss in it, seems to be #6 isn't firing. Engine note and RPM changes dramatically when cracking 1-5 injectors but no change when cracking 6. Also noticed that there is zero fuel running through the return line. The ...

nah definately not related to the throw out bearing. There is atleast 2 inches of movement before the clutch starts to disengage. The pedal feel is right, and there is no unusual noises in there either. It only happens when I've made a shift. So I could be sitting there with my foot on the clutch ...

Hiya ORE,

I've got a safari that smells like Im slipping the clutch everytime I change gear

Ill make the change, release the clutch and give it stick again, and according to my ass in the seat and the rev counter, its not slipping. But it smells like it. Any speed, any gear.

Any ideas?

Its a 3RZJ90...

So sounds like a mission of a job then. Was hoping that fitting the V6 wouldn't be too much of a pain.


So really unless we can find another 3RZ we're gonna be chopping and cutting and certing at the end.

Afternoon toyota club! My father in laws Prado has cooked the motor and is irrecoverable. Don't ask how/ why just accept the old engine is done. We're struggling to find a replacement engine which doesn't help. Its a SWB with the 2.7 petrol, does any one know if the 3.2 V6 will fit in? Do they have ...

Asking anyone who happens to read an old thread..... I'm going to replace the old oil px gauge with a new sender/ gauge. Just wondering if oil would purge a t-fitting of air. My thinking is that I might thread the t-piece into the side of the engine, the oil pressure send into one end of it, and a ...

yea id post a photo too cause theres a few Im thinking might be one. I might crack one and crank it over and see what comes out....

cheers!

yea im thinking of going the tee way now, and yea i knew about the passenger side one - its feeding my turbo. But if you could have a look anyway thatd be great!

Any ideas on the oil temp sender? Or just bung it into the sump?

Gidday all Im putting in an oil pressure sender and an oil temp sender... have a couple of questions - where are a few good and unused oil ports on the block. Need one for the pressure sender. Thought of using the port where the factory sender is, I just don't want the dummy light on the dash coming ...

Where did you obtain the NZTA rating from? There should not be a difference between NZTA and Carjam as they both come from the same register. I use both carjam and the motorvehicle register (landata) on nearly a daily basis, the information has never differed. NZTA does have the authority to change ...

Thats why I'm asking here. NZTA have 2800, carjam says 2650. And if you go to the manufacturer with the factory identification numbers, they can tell you exactly what that particular vehicle was designed for. Hence why talking with Nissan, they were able to bring those details up. And they can tell ...

Just been on the phone with a Nissan guy (who was talking to a guy in Aussie) and, for my model, the kerb weight is 2160, GVM is 2800. And GCM is 5300. The GCM in this case is a combination of GVM and GTM. They've said increasing GVM will, in this case, increase GCM as well. Does towball downforce ...

not with light trailers. they changed it a few years back.

Is it light trailers or light diesels? What's the rule say now.

I could probably find it myself.

To the god squad gvm is gvm as in gross vehicle mass or max loaded vehicle simple. Gcm isnt gvm plus gtm. Gcm is gross combined so the tow vehicle may need to off load if towing a gtm trailer to get under gcm. Currently studying gsl booklet. Yup thats right - but very generalised. Most vehicle ...

"can't break a saf" well said. interesting point though - I've regularly pulled a float with two horses, id say 1.5tonne, it was unbraked and handled no different to pulling a 3 tonne braked trailer. Yea I've checked all my terms and I think Im good with them. I didn't know CGVM, I assumed it was ...

Afternoon everyone, Looking at the GVM and GCM of Y60 Safaris here I am perfectly happy with the 2.5t towing capacity. I might push it every now and then but only moderately. What I'm not happy with is the 2600kg GVM. Is this accurate? The kerb weight is already 2050kg. Meaning I can carry 550kg ...

cheers fellas, will have a read

Gidday all I've had a good search but nothing on this (or others) forum that covers exactly what I'm asking. I've got a 92 Safari running a GT35 turbo. Nothing, flash. My set up allows around 14psi using a 38mm wastegate. Unregulated the old girl can only reach 20psi. Currently with the wastegate ...

so looking at this a Clutch Industried Heavy Duty should be fine for me. As i say - no thrashing or real off road use

Pretty standard truck really so it should be fine.. anyother advice is appreciated
cheers

I need some serious advice here about a clutch..... Getting very mixed opinions from everyone I talk to: TD42 Safari on standard 31s. GT35 turbo with AR.60 front end. Not cooled, ~15lb boost. Fuel adjusted up. Nothing flash at all. Use it primarily for daily driving, and frequently for towing - most ...

yea definately considering it...

Got a trans from a guy in Parakai for 750. Will go nicely. Had the flywheel machined at truweld and it came up well and got the hydraulic lines and booster and pedal in too. For those who've done it before, is the pain in the ass top bolt absolutely necessary to get in? Ive torqued up the four bolts ...

saw one just yesterday. But i think ive found one now so hopefully all is good

Hi ORE I'm after a manual conversion for my safari. Need pretty much everything, but looking at keeping my transfer case as I know its condition. Whats out there in terms of the rest of the stuff. Happy to buy bits and pieces along the way so I can clean things up and get everything ready to do the ...

Ive always used my home compressor so what is the deal with servo compressors? Are their gauges accurate or should we stay away from them?

cheers guys thats good advice - particularly the chalk idea.

Will bring em up to 40 and see where the feet sit. cheers

Hi people, Just a quickie on tire pressures... I've just got back on a set of Desert Duelers cause I liked them, but its been a while since I last ran with them and cant remember what I used to pump them too. The guys at tire power say 28R/32F but the side wall says 50. And they said 32 about the ...

cheers, was thinking they'd be the options. Jaycar would sell the appropriate dc-dc charger?
