gday, Im in taupo.
yeah i had a feeling the clusters would be different, but was hoping the input shaft gear ratio would be the same.
Cheers,
Matt

I have a late 80s H55F 5 speed box with the coarse spline input shaft, including transfer case to suit the following engines: F, 2F, 3F, H, 2H, 12HT. Apparently out of a 70 series. I need a gearbox from a mid-late 80's onward 70 series with a 3B, 13BT or 1HZ motor. The only difference is the spline ...

just occured to me, make sure your engine doesnt have a shut off butterfly in the inlet manifold (some diesles like a 12HT cruiser motor have them) they are a method of shutting off the engine when you turn off the key, some diesles must shut off the fuel instead.

Wow that diff swap is very interesting, Did you break the old diff?
what was required to fit the diff?
did the axle shafts need modification? did you have to cut off the old diff bolt flange and weld a new one on?


Cheers, Matt

those superchargers are positive displacement meaning on a diesel (which doesnt have a thottle) it should force in the same mass of air each rev regardless of rpm and accelerator. this means roughly same boost pressure (but doesnt take into account how the Volumetric efficiency changes with revs ...

Gary is right: http://www.capitalinstruments.co.nz/oscom/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=34&products_id=2169&osCsid=a47ff78aaa0380ccdaaf9a58df3bb9b9 I use a Redarc CE30 in mine. I power the whole efi system and cooling fan off one battery and it is able to continuously maintain the same terminal ...

35 x 11.5 x 16 Silverstone xtreme MT117X @ 35psi on 8 inch rim: 880mm=34.65" has anyone noticed how tyres 'grow' from when they are new? when I first put them on rims they had no bulge in the sidewalls and looked smaller than I was hoping. Then I spent a few hours offroad with them at 24psi and they ...

I know in my surf the easy way to tighten them is to put the handbrake on and reverse. The handbrake will self adjust the back brakes each time you pull it on. I didnt realise they self adjusted, so I did some research: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drum_brake That is a very clever system! you guys ...

Was doing some light offroading yesterday and noticed a burning smell when driving back, found the LHS back hub was burning hot and the brake was stuck on! brakes were working perfectly before, I replaced the rear shoes over a year ago with no problem. absolutely no mud or water got in cos didnt go ...

spring packs maybe pull the springs out and strip them and apply a coat of never sieze or a bit of grease inbetween the leaves then reassemble and try it again I cant beleive it! It actually is the springs! Wopass youre a genius! I stand corrected. you can feel the spring pack pivot slightly right ...

very good ideas, leaf bracket nuts were a bit loose so I grunted them all up but no joy they dont seem to be moving either and the bang doesnt seem to be coming from them. Ideally Id take them to bits and oil them but the threads on the bottom of the Ubolts are all buggered and it would mean ...

Im having quite a headache figuring out what is wrong on my 70 series. when turning the wheels on the road it frequently makes a loud and high pitched bang noise. usually when I start hearing clunk noises from front it is a tierod end and you can visually see the culprit rod end suddenly move if you ...

I painted my underside of the body with Corrolis EP epoxy primer. It is a marine structure/ship paint. I used wet and dry sandpaper first and then thoroughly washed and degreased before painting. Has worked well for last 3 years. Every time I put another dent in the panels and crack off the factory ...

If you have tubes and pop a bead what pressure do you have to pump the tyre up to to re-seat it? can you do it with a typical 12 volt compressor? I found dropping pressure from 40 psi to 25 makes a big difference on my old simexes. at 40 psi it mostly spins on the centre lugs but at 25 it pushes the ...

sweet well sounds like Ill try it. Not exactly gonna cost much..
did you give the rims a light sand first?
why are the tractor tubes so much better?

Yeah I read your old post about fixall Wopass, sounds like a good plan have you ever had to remove a tyre? Im kinda hoping rubber is stronger than the fixall bond cos it would be a nasty surprise getting a flat and then shredding a tyre trying to get it off the rim. As for power Sadam, got no ...

I've just bought some new tyres and will be sticking them on my rims soon. Was just looking over some old posts for ideas to help stop the tires spinning on the rims and popping off the bead. I saw using Urethane and grit paint as a couple options. Anyone have any updates / further thoughts to add ...

Heres a link to the current prices for all the bits. these are for an 80 series cos they havent updated their page for 70 series. Looks like prices have gone up too http://www.marks4wd.com/products/engine-trans-conversions/toyota/landcruiser/lc-fzj80gen3-LS1V8.html I got the bellhousing kit and HD ...

Hi Darren, I also had a mission trying to figure out how to run headers. In a 70 series I dont think it is practical to have the collector come down between the chassis rails like block hugger headers do because then the exhaust would have to cross under the chassis rail or go under the transfer ...

Thought I should update this, because no doubt other people are going to be thinking about this soon. ended up going with the Marks adaptor kit. Had quite a few problems when I went to assemble it! turns out they changed the design of the kit just when I bought it and had a computer crash and bla ...

thought I should update for others' benefit,
ended up going with Ferodo Excell pads as they were the best I could get in a short time.
I can highly reccomend them to Cruiser owners, can now lock up the wheels in dry. cost about $70 I think

You can get greaseable shackle and pins from Repco. Use Rear shackles for the front too cos they are slightly longer and much stronger.

Blew mine up on first offroad outing with new motor
think it ran dry. Now it sounds like a chicken being strangled.
Having trouble finding a new one, anyone got one?

Cheers,
Matt

when this used to happen to my suzuki I would start the engine and then squirt the hose through the alternator. the brushes get mud on them and get stuck and stop contacting. sometimes would need to open the back and prise the brushes a little. happened with rover alternator as well.

Cheers,
Ill investigate those 2 brands.
Is it a good idea to degrease and sandpaper the discs?

Its cert time for my 70 series and I need my brakes to be in top shape to pass the 100-0kph in 4 secs brake test requirement. Its got newish 'Silverline' brand pads from repco on front but they are terrible, Im convinced the std toyota pads work much better. What is a good brand of pads that will ...

Ive put the engine on trademe now

A few notes: -The pyrometer spontaneously died no idea why it just made a loud bleeep and then didnt work again. a new guage should cost aboutt $100 without the thermocouple. - That $2 boost guage is also giving up -The turbo is a CT26 from a 3.0 supra NOT the smaller ceramic wheel version from a ...

sure.

If the phone cuts out I appologise its begining to die...

I'll be taking it out in about a month.

ok, finally figured it out. all the photos came out terrible though http://i509.photobucket.com/albums/s332/mattxorph/Picture340.jpg http://i509.photobucket.com/albums/s332/mattxorph/Picture341.jpg http://i509.photobucket.com/albums/s332/mattxorph/Picture342.jpg http://i509.photobucket.com/albums ...
