Pity that but maybe one day... Thanks

Did anything come of this at all?

Have you asked the question on the Ozzie Lcool.org forums? Lots of Gturbos on there with Unichips. 1000Nm at all 4 wheels is not uncommon so it can be made to work.

The original Toyota heads were made in China (at least the units sold in Australia were). Mate of mine is a diesel fitter in the mines here and has a reputation as the 'go to guy' for 1KZTE repairs in QLD. When I bought our 90 he showed me a stuffed head that he had run through a bandsaw. I was...

Not so! Technically its illegal but I don't know of anyone who restores the system at our rego time. I have a 90 and 100 with EGR removed and no vent holes drilled anywhere. Simply block it off forever. I think you'll find most countries make it illegal to vent any crankcase type gases into the...

Also carefully check the output terminal lug from the alternator. Even though the cabling is strapped to the body of the alternator, these lugs are prone to cracking and eventually snapping in two giving an intermittent charge plus eventually blowing the diodes and regulator.

Same filter on both the 90 and 100 diesels. I have both trucks. Always fill the filter first and then prime the hell out of it. Running the pump without fuel causes a ton of wear. Needs the diesel running through it to lubricate and cool the pump.

Be careful with non Toyo racks. Lot of crap chinese rubbish out there. The Toyo racks are quite a heavy construction with very large and heavy rods out each side which are running in nylon sleeves. Corrugations bounce the heavy rods up and down and eventually the nylon sleeves/bushes wear away...

The TX diesels had cruise from the factory.

Paul Your not likely to get it repaired, its simply not worth it. If you want to stay original and do not do any any offroading then you can usually find these for sale on Ebay or the Aus cruiser forums www.lcool.org for give away prices. Alternatively, have you tried a wrecker? I'll bet 95% of...

Hi Ann Have you looked at the Ozzie site www.lcool.org ? massive amount of local info on 200's. Its a free forum but you'll have to register to use. Someone there will know for sure.

Thanks Rich I'd be happy with sea freight if it was cheaper. cheers Malcom

Is there a specific reason why you want to reconnect it? Info from Toyota suggests the heater is only there to satisfy pollution requirements, most of which occur at switch on. The heater is only turned on for a few seconds so its certainly not pre-heating the air charge for Siberian starts...

I'd be interested in a pair for the 100 posted to Australia. Have a 2002 with the side hinged windows if you need anything measured.
