from what i understand the vin/tags go with the chassis so swapping cabs wont get around the problem of it being dereg?

Hi, I have swapped a 22r motor into my originally 18r hilux. The old 18r dizzy is points and the 22r one is electronic, so I'm trying to track down an ignition module to get it sparking. Does anyone have one lying around somewhere, or know of a way to get it working? The 22r is carby, and the 18r ...

I have had a fair few of these, turbo and non turbo. the turbo ones arnt too bad speed wise, they hum along well enough - not turbo are a slug. Reliability I found was great from both. Never had any major issues other than one turbo needing to be replaced but i knew that before I brought it. No head ...

Hi, looking at possible engine conversions for my old 2ltr 4 speed hilux and would like to keep it as simple as possible. it seems that Isuzu transfer cases slide onto the output shaft of a Holden v6 box which is great. Due to this simplicity I was looking at the holden v6, but after a bit of ...

ok, hopefully these help... ill give him a text soon, in the middle of exams for uni atm. doesnt still have the engine that the v8 replaced by any chance? mines a bit sick. cheers

yeah sure? focusing on anything in particular?

Don't happen to have any other rn46 parts around do you?

Hi, have a old hilux running the 2.0 18R engine. When i got it it ran a bit rough - had a bit of a miss at idle and it jumped around quite a bit, played around with the carb a bit - cleaned it out etc and it ran really well. Couple days later went to start it, ran worse than ever - took it to a mate ...

Awesome, thanks for that. Let me know what you find

Hi, after a few parts for a hilux i just picked up. Mainly after drivers side window regulator, section of the dash that fits around the radio, wing mirrors - possibly other parts too. If anybody has anything or knows of anyone with parts lying around flick me a message.

Cheers

where a bouts are you?

no, they don't fit

i had one as a bush truck with a hory 2inch body lift on 33's never broke anything and it got a hiding. wasnt too bad on power even non turbo as it basically lived in low box

i know of one sitting around in hamilton, bodys rusted, dont know if it runs. had a look under the bonnet its all there though. im sure the guy would sell it cheap.

Only pic I have on this computer, can get more if interested. 221km, has dings, scratches, missing trim, peeling clearcoat etc. not pretty but it is sound, not a rusty pos. Tailgate missing the handle, still opens and closes fine. Drivers side electric window has been replaced with a hand winder ...

i have a 2.5 turbo diesel 4x4 strada im going to be selling soon, looking for 4500 at this stage though.

anyone running a gt2860 disco potato turbo? couple on tm at the moment and they are also ment to match the td42 quite well... not much luck tracking a complete small td05 down. only prob with the gt2860 is have to use adaptor between manifold and turbo

OK thanks for the input ill forget about those ones then. Looks like search just got a whole lot harder... havnt seen ANY 16g early evo turbos, the were all the larger 20g, and never come across vr4 td05s. Im guessing these are found on the early 'evo zero' vr4s? I was advised to steer clear from ...

Hi Looking at turboing my td42 safari in the near future, have done a fair bit of research on the topic and seems the best turbo is a td05 off an evo. I dont want to be modifying the pump, so will stick to the 16G, however research has told me these come in 2 sizes, and the smaller size will suit ...

there must have been a few weird hilux combos around then, i had a 88 that was shaped like a 89+ but with a 1.6 petrol 1y engine, so it could very well be the 1.8 2Y engine

if you have facebook and dont mind sifting though pages and pages of dodgy boy racer crap, there are some good deals on the vehicle buy and sell sites on facebook (hustle live, waikato car buy n sell etc) - i brought my safari on there for 3.5k with wof reg, manual, 220km, barwork, new 33s, susp ...

iv found the 4d56s to be very reliable, owned around 5 of them in pajeros and l200s, only thing ever to go wrong is a blown turbo, ks ranged from 150-420 on them, and tbh i didnt maintain them the best 4wd non turbo l200 got around 650km 4wd turbo l200 was a little better of course it depends on the ...

nope mine has acc, constant power and earth in and out, but only the 5a and the 10a have those wires which is why i didnt go for a 30a one and run everything off it - he had no 10s left so I settled for the 5 and seems to run a newish jvc headunit and 4 6 inch speakers fine so im happy... its only ...

brought a 5a one to run headunit as it came with the constant feed as well as acc. $18, works mint. prob one of these in the near future to run an amp and handheld spotty later on, 30a for $60, also does 60a ones. Guy was great to deal with.

yeah i have seen a few of those, not very common and all the ones i have seen had pto which is a bonus and something i always wanted to do to mine but never got around to it. Be interesting to see if they are the same g/box as the diesels though, if they cant put up with the diesel not sure how they ...

I have had a few gen 1s - all 2.5 turbo, the 2 swbs i have had went quite well offroad with just a set of muds and the handbrake difflock trick. the lwb was a tank, went nowhere and got beached on everything. I had an 87, the gearboxes are crap and was looking at more than i payed for the truck for ...

thanks for the heads up - will just change oil and filters and leave it at that for now

Thanks for that, the old owner said it needed an oil change, it had to wait a few days as im on a uni budget but i will do it today. Do you think its worth putting an oil flush through it? I have always been quite wary of any oil additives... I thought you may have been right about the cold shutoff ...

cheers doug, not too fussed on sill strength as will rig up some sliders once its fixed.
