Hi all I have a 5spd kjz95 prado with a sinking clutch pedal issue. I recently had to replace the standard prado master clyinder with the funny diaphragm thinng on the bottom for a standard landcruiser unit.just had to swap over the resivior as the prado one was shorter to fit under the heater pipe ...

Thanks for the input. from the vids it looks like a pretty easy track.
Think I'll throw some tow hooks on it any way just incase as they are cheap and easy addition.
Cheers

Hi all Not sure where to post this but this seems like to best place. My boss is considering taking his very standard 90 series Prado on the macetown track so I said I'd investigate for him as he knows I'm into 4wding. Just wanted people's opinions on the capability of a standard prado on this ...

Lockrite rear locker
2inch Dobisin front n efs rear springs with commadore rear shocks

Hi drewz1

After doing a bit of research it seems the head does have to come off for the 8valve. Sorry to put you wrong , my experience is only with 16 valve motors and I mistakenly thought they both would be the same.

Yup Easy pessy. I think the cam may even have to come out first anyway as it is positioned over the head bolts ? Either way head removal is not required.

all cam specs and pricing is listed on their web site

$165 is pretty good I recon bang for buck wise.

I'd be interested to know the price of a cam grind. The scudo lacks a bit of power running 31s

If your unsure if it has a locker. Simply jack both wheels off the ground and spin one wheel. Both wheels will go in the same direction (an open diff will spin wheels in opposite direction to each other)or you might hear the locker clacking very distinctively ( like horse shoe noise).

Sorry I did mean 2 speed not 2stage in my original post. But high locked and low locked mAkes sense. So does the "2 speed" transfer case refere to the hi and low speeds? dont most common 4x4s have a two speed transfer case ?

Hello all.
My boss has gifted me his 99' prado to use as a work vehicle.( lucky me)
I noticed that the gear stick for engaging low ratio has high, high low and low low. Did a little bit if research on Wikipedia and found the prada has a two stage transfer box.
What is the purpose of having this?

I'd get one of these if I had the cash http://www.trademe.co.nz/1023476470

Any idea where to source aisin hubs? Couldn't find a Supplier on the net. Just spotted super which, warn and mile marker brands off lowrange for similar prices to what's on trade-me. Anyone tried any of these ?

Hi all I'm in the market for a pair of manual hubs for my 94 escudo. There a few different brands on trademe (avm , force brand) and at varying prices. Would be good to hear people's expericnece with either brand or suggest other brands available. My truck is fitted with 31s and still has an open ...

I'll be home or close to home for most of tomorrow. 1st in, first serve Give me a bell after 9am

I have no idea what else it would fit other than a Ramsey socket. I can take a pick of the plug if you like and you can decided.

4 pin controller . Im in Upper Hutt Wellington .

As per title. Free to good home. Unknowen condition. Having a shed clean out. Would prefer a pick up but I can post at your cost.

I have a lockrite auto locker in my 1.6 escudo which I instaled myself. Up until today it's been fine but it has suddenly started making some weird noises and clunks. I am still yet to remove and investigate further but if worst comes to worst, who is the best person to get to rebuild in Wellington ...

Found the throttle position sensor to be the issue. Just required adjusting.

I have a g16a powered escudo. Since installing a snorkel, the idle has been more than excessive, sometimes reaching 2100rpm. At first I thought it may be a vacuum leek but after reaching normal operating temp it drops down to around 1000rpm.any help would be appreciated

Have only removed old manifold/turbo and tidied up a few bits so far. New exhaust manifold has arrived but waiting for the turbo unit to show up. This truck also has a second air con pump for inboard air to contend with, getting in the way of the intake. We have decided to continue using what we ...

The YZF radiator was a brilliant idea. I would have suggested a Subaru rs turbo legacy water to air inter cooler and water pump, simply coz they are cheap and readily available. My neighbour and I are doing a very similar setup on his safari. Did you you the factory oil supply and drain lines for ...

x3 for the lockright auto locker. You do have to learn how to drive round abouts and sharp turning but any sacrifice made for on road driving is more than made up for when off road. I have only had to use my winch a couple of times since installing the locker. And there's one on trade me for $350 at ...

Type in "tow hook mounts escudo" in to the google images. Plenty of pics

I have mounted my rear tow hooks, 1 on either side using a piece of 50x50x6 angle about 100mm long then bolted to the two 12mm holes at the rear of the chassis rails, usually were a tow bar would be mounted to. You will have to remove the rear bumper for this option though. The front is difficult if ...

I have a whole engineering work shop at my disposal. Can help out after 4.30 on Wednesday. Have to be home in time for big bang theory though I'm out in upper hutt. Cheers Paul

Hi all , my g16a 16 valve powered escudos cold start idle is around 2000 rpm and takes around 10-15 minutes of round town driving before the the gauge will register and then one the temp reaches 1/4 the idle might drop down to normal idle speed. Temp generally never go's over 1/4 with on road ...

G16a powered swb escudo. Running on 31's. Daily driver with recovery gear, hi lift jack etc on board. Getting about 70 - 80 kms per 10 litres, nana'ering it.... Luckily for me i only have to drive 3-4 mins to get to work.

A body lift will also help clear 30'' tyres. And half the price of springs.
