Hi team, Like searching in the scrub for lost hen's teeth, I'm trying to source a spare 1PZ Valve Cover. TOYO Part# 11201-18018 Does anybody have one laying around? Even if it's partially cracked I may be interested. Drop me a price to consider and I'll count my penny's see what can be arranged ...

So I am trying to do some cheapo short to mid term repairs on my Cruiser while I am out of work and I seem to be in need of some alternator repairs. So the question is are there any alternators that share parts with a FJ70 one? Or are just completely compatable as is?

CHeers,
Kempy.

Righty oh, The question I would like to pose is what qualifies as structural rust? Im assuming rust around hinges, on the chassis and the like would qualify but what other spots classify to be "structural"? Im about to start overhauling the Cruiser and just wondering what areas I will really need to ...

There are various bits of rust that have formed. Most of it is just surface though. Ill give it a go with the stuff Ive got and see how it pans out.

Chur chur,
Kempy.

Whats the best ways and means of stripping, repairing and retouching rust that forms in vehicle roof gutters? It starting to show in my 70 series and it is something I would like to address properly. There is a rubberised coating in parts of the gutter that I need to figure out how to remove aswell ...

Does anybody have the link for the pirate forum swap? Im not sure where to find it on that site.

Yeah I knew it was just an injected version. Just wasnt sure how compatible the parts were. But thats good to know.

What Im wondering is how much different the 3f and the 3F-E engines are? Would it be possible to convert a 3F into a 3F-E with the right parts or is it possible to bolt a 3F-E directly into an Fj70? The next question would be is there any advantage to doing such a thing... ie improved power or fuel ...

White FJ70 with LPG conversion. Near new Maxis Buckshot Mudder 31" tyres on it. TJM Stainless Bullbar and CB radio. Rolled on one side with no warrant or rego. Let us know if there any interest out there. Looking for $2000 for it but willing to cut the asking price if a good offer is made. Currently ...

Coil, condensor, dizzy cap, rotor, points all replaced recently. That narrows it down a little.

Brand new set of points have just gone in a week or two ago and timing was done today. It was tuned and running sweet then it died all within a day.

Howz it going team, Had my landcruiser running mint but all of a sudden it went back to missing and farting real bad and idling erratically. Put your foot down on the accelerator and there is no oomph at all. It doesnt even have enough power to drive a small distance. Almost dies when idling and ...

Im interested to know how you get on with this idea. Keep us updated if you get a chance. If it works I might look into doing it myself. Seems feasible in theory yeah?

Kempy.

Im going to go and mull this over some more,
Thanks for the help so far. Ill be back.

Cheers,
Kempy

Howdy, Im thinking of fabricating a snorkel up out of pressure rated plumbing pipe the only issue I face is that the stupid bloody air intake box does not lend itself to having any plastic conduit or other material attached to it due to a mounting bracket right in the way. Does this make sense to ...

Well there ya go. All makes sense to me now.
Cheers for that mate

Over and out,
Kempy

Howzit,
Ive been told that adding extended shackles to factory standard Landcruiser leaf springs is bad for them and may cause the leafs to snap or something to that extent? Whats the real story on the matter anyone???

Cheers,
Kempy

Haha i spoke to soon, Last night it drove and started up fine multiple times. This morning it ran, i turned it off, i turned it on.. it ran, i turned it off again and now it doesnt go..again. So the problem remains. Checked spark = spark there and it jumps a 6-10 mm gap fuel = fuel going to the ...

I did some tweaking and did some testing and next thing ya know my truck lives again.
Petrols seem to be able to fix themselves. Now to ascertain what the problem actually was.

Cheers for the help,
Kempy

Alryty,

Im gunna go and try this stuff out and see where that gets me.
Ill let yeah know how it goes.

Cheers,
Kempy

Ballast resistor? Never heard of one of them. Where do you reckon it would be located? Is it possible to test it?

Cheers,
Kempy

Can anybody help me out? My landcruiser FJ70 has been having some on and off problems with the engine not firing up and this time it appears to be of a more serious nature. The engine is getting spark and by the looks of it there is fuel going to it aswell. Any reason why it might not be firing up ...

Hi there, Currently another forum member is interested in the setup so they will get first call on wether they want it or not as I dont wanna undercut anyone. Not really sure on a price. Packaging it up is no worries. Umm... about taking it to a business address for collection I suppose thats ...

Yeah, I did some soul searching while sitting in the dormant truck this arvo and thought that perhaps I should get it checked first/check it myself. Ill inspect it when ive got my next free day. See how it goes. If its something cheaper to fix like the contacts then I will be a very happy person ...

Hi,
I live on the West Coast in Greymouth. I can attempt to get some photos uploaded of the parts that I have if I can track down a camera.

Hi there, I have a compressor tank and compressor for sale/swap that will at least fit onto a 3F engine but the compressor should mount onto most trucks with the right room in the engine bay. It was connected up in my truck to run an air brake system for a trailer but the trailer connection bit got ...

Hi there, Im looking for a starter motor for my FJ70. My current one is dead and inturn forces me to have to push start it anytime I wanna go somewhere . If anybody has one at a reasonable price I am willing to consider it. I also have a compressor tank and compressor for sale/swap that will at ...

So an update, Got up on tuesday morning. After a little thinking I went back to basics and checked/cleaned things up as much as I saw fit. Managed to get a spark at the points and from the coil. Hopped in my truck... pulled choke out a little... turned key ... aaaaaaaaand the truck had life ...

Nope I don't. My mates that have cruisers have all got diesels so I get the flack for being a gas guzzler as it is, let alone a broken down one On the upside my truck did come installed with an LPG system so things aint all bad. Me and my mate will have a think of how I might be able to test the ...

I needed the new rotor because the old one shattered into a million pieces for some unknown reason. Now that Ive replaced it Ive moved on to the next few options such as checking the coil and points.
What will be the best way to distinguish wether I have a coil problem and or a condensor problem?
