Re: LN167 vs 2000+ Ford Courier/Mazda Bounty

Yea not too sure of the exact chassis code but was really thinking of a 1kz if it was going to be a hilux. Its really the price that had me more interested in the courier, as you can pick one up for 3-4k less than a similar ks hilux, but have only heard bad things ie going through wheel bearings ...

LN167 vs 2000+ Ford Courier/Mazda Bounty

After slowly working through my grief after getting my 1uz surf stolen I have decided its time for a new truck. Looking for a late model double cab ute and have come up with either a LN167 or Courier/Bounty. Mostly going to be used for diving and hunting and the odd club trip with a few mods ie body ...

Re: ln130 for 22r

I had a 22r in a Rn105 double cab hilux. Terrible fuel economy around 300km to the tank max (thats driving on the open road at 90-100kph max, and being very light with the right foot) with standard tyres, got even worse when I put 33s on her. Power was reasonable (even though I have completely lost ...

Re: 1UZ Overfueling

Yea got my crown ecu pinout and pretty much going over the whole loom making sure it's correct. Also on my way to have a look at plugs and leads my cambelt just happened to be stopped on a spot revealing a huge chunk missing out of the cambelt. The deeper I dig the worse she gets .

Re: 1UZ Overfueling

Had a wee look at the loom last night, apparently twisting and taping wires together is an appropriate way of wiring up an engine these days. Looks like a weekend of soldering wires ahead of me :? Hopefully this fixes my problem

Re: 1UZ Overfueling

Shes one of the older non-vvti ones. Replaced what I believed to be the ecu temp sensor last weekend (3 senders: One small one wire, looks like its for the gauge, one large red plug and one large green plug (replaced green one)) and its still the same. Next on the list was the O2 sensors they are ...

1UZ Overfueling

Have brought a Surf with a 1uz in it which runs fine 95% of the time. The other 5% it will go into a "limp home"ish mode where it uses bucket loads of gas and won't idle and wont rev over around 4 grand (engine gets louder but power curve dives down) sounds as if its overfueling. Nothing triggers ...
