Re: ROH Blak Trak
Thanks Clint, just had a quote on a set today, what tyres are you using on your Roh wheels? And how do you rate them?
Cheers,
Harvey

ROH Blak Trak
Hey guys,
Looking at getting a set for my KZN185 Hilux, but unsure what offset I will need, and what tyres seem to be the best. Have had a look at the BF Goodrich A/T's and they seem to be rated really good. Any Help or information is much appreciated.

Re: New KZN185 1KZ
Those Auberins gauges are the business and exactly what I am looking for. Was going to look at the auto gauge meters, but these seem more accurate and also a better fit under the stereo. Is the M8x1 size option most common for everyone? I have a newer dash than the one shown in the link you posted ...

Re: New KZN185 1KZ
If you are ditching the egr, reroute the rocker breather into a catch can as well. Many also remove the butterfly from the inlet manifold at the same time. If yours is intercooled take this opportunity to take the intercooler off and leave it soaking in degreaser overnight. You will already be ...

Re: New KZN185 1KZ
Those Auberins Gauges look fantastic! The overheating and head cracking did always concern me when looking for a 1KZ hilux. I take it the standard water temp gauge is pretty shitty too. Is the water temp gauge on your install guide stu_71 an Auberins unit also? The truck will mostly be my daily/all ...

New KZN185 1KZ
Hey forum members, Have posted a couple of times here. But just wanting to pick your brains on first Mod's. I have just bought a couple of egr blanking plates off trademe for 1KZ. Have heard it's a great mod, but can also increase temperatures??? Is there any recommended Mod's that you think should ...

To add to that, I just did a fault code check, and it has come up with a clashing check light and O/D light.

1KZTE Overboost?
Hi there everyone.
I have recently installed a boost gauge in my 1998 Hilux Surf Limited due to the fact I have felt a loss of power. I notice the boost gauge will shoot up to 15psi full boost, then drop back to 11psi and flatten out. Is this a sign of over boost?

Newbie Here With KZN185
Hey everyone,
Thought I should introduce myself and my ride. I have just purchased a 1998 Surf SSRX Limited, factory Intercooled and Automatic. Any suggestions on the cooling issue's with them? Will be digging deep in the forums on this topic too.
Cheers!
Harvey
