Re: Carburetor Help please!

Hi. Not sure of your setup, but I run a carby Toyota 4k engine in a Suzuki SJ410, and had similar issues. They are set up with the float chamber of the carby at the front, and I had trouble with it overfuelling on uphill climbs as the fuel in the float chamber would slosh out through the pipes that ...

Re: Rattling Gearbox?

Hi, this may or may not be of assistance, but it doesn't sound like release bearing. A lot of Landcruiser gearboxes always seem to have a rattling noise to some extent when idling or when you coast along with no load on the drivetrain. I think they call it rollover noise but it sounds like ...

Re: Sj413 parts

Hi. I have two side mirrors off a SJ410, and also an internal rear view mirror. Not after much - really just cost of packaging and freight. 410 ones should fit as they have the same doors as 413 (maybe someone can confirm though). Let me know anyway. Cheers.

Re: PTO transfercase drive gear LJ78/KZJ78

Hi micahb. I have a spacer and pto gear that I removed from a HZJ73 (1993 mid wheel base with 1HZ motor, manual gearbox, usual split transfer case) that I don't need. A1 condition - never had pto winch etc. I removed them when I replaced the transfer case input gear with one of the aftermarket long ...

Re: HZJ73 Crusier info

Hi. Its gear driven. If you don't have a pto winch you might be able to remove that side cover and have a look at the transfer case input shaft/gear side of things. You might be able to see if transfer case input (=gearbox output) is spinning when the auto turns, which might narrow down if its the ...

Re: Best oil for Gearbox VX Landcruiser 96

I changed to the Redline Lightweight Shockproof oil a while ago in a HZJ73 Landcruiser with H55F gearbox. Absolutely brilliant - a lot quieter, smooth shifting when cold, truck just seemed smoother also, but thats probably my imagination! Only downside is cost - BNT charge around $33 for a 1 quart ...

Re: what psi should i run in my buckshots ?

If the vehicle still has the placard on the door sill somewhere thats a good place to start. You can experiment and vary a bit from there to get the compromise between ride and handling that seems to suit best. Our landcruiser sticker says about 28psi unladen and up to about 40psi I think when fully ...

Not sure if its appropriate to list a ph number here, but if you search whitepages for T + F Richardson in Mataura you will get phone number. It is his son selling the vehicle. I'm sure he would be happy to answer questions - very genuine and honest people.
