Cheers

that bad huh

Its not as bad as I was expecting. Bores are all good and the head has a couple of small dings in it but not really too much I can do about that short of replacing the head. Cant really see it having too many probs. The pistons are rooted though, theres lots of bits of turbo embedded into them

I guess an intercooler to act as a "filter" is on the cards for next time?

Hi try sta parts in auckland, pretty sure they will sell an inframe kit for these motors.

Theres a place in ChCh that sell long blocks ($$$ though)

Shoulda gone Nissan Tu's. I'm thinking the same, helped a mate put in a new radiator today and can't believe the amount of crap you need to take out to get the job done The Safari was 2 bolts and 5 mins, this was 20 odd and near a farkin hr

Oh, and while we were undoing the fan hub, the engine would turn over trying to undo the nuts with a 12mm spanner, so had to hold the hub to stop it spinning

My 80 has done all of 600km since owning, so might just sell up and go back to the trusty (or is that crusty) Safari's before I need to do any work on it, or discover how expensive they are to work on

You could try Don Kyatt Auto Parts in Auckland. (used to be NZ truck and bus) they do the terrain tamer line of parts and have most bits for toymotas.

Im dissapointed with it but this is the first problem Ive had with it and I do 4-500ks a week. Its only a tow wagon aswell so it doesnt do much offroading. If I planned to do more then Id probably get a nissan. I do love driving it though. Its probably my faviourite truck so far

Cheers for all the help fellas, repco ended up selling me a set of arco ones for less that 1/2 of retail because no one has ever ordered them and they wanted to get rid of them . BNT put me onto them after they couldnt find any in NZ or aus.

Next step is finding a clutch for it. Any reccomendations

MP autoparts in Upper Hutt, I think they can custom make clutches, They had a HD kit on the shelf for my hilux for $350 when I put the 5L in.
