Hi Jon,
Thanks for your reply: I will see what is outthere and then start the
budgeting...
A note of interest: my toyota was sourched from japan direct, infact I have
the whole service history sheets in japanese from new, but I understood that
it was an "export" specs; not sure what it actually meant in terms of haves
and haves-not.
More at a later stage.
Best wishes,
Stefano

Jon, stay the course. Courage and stiff upper lip and all that.
We missed you this last week or so. Be certain to back up your hard disk to
CD-rom every week or so.

Subject: [ELCO] some more bad luck
Hi Guys
I have recently had some more of this bad luck which seems to attach itself
to me.
My PC decided to start smoking three weeks ago which started with smoke
coming out of the mouse and then out of the PC itself.
So after a new hardrive, motherboard and power unit which had all burnt out
I am slowly getting up and running.
The problem is that im no better at working on the PC than the Cruiser.
I lost nearly all the info I had stupidly kept on the PC without having it
backed up on CD.
So to come to the point, I have lost most of my cruiser info and every thing
else going back years, of all sorts including programs etc.
So dont be too hard on me when I ask questions to which you think or know I
had the info from previous asked questions.
Even all my addresses and contacts are gone
These answers are now all gone and my memory is crap so thats no help at
all.
Also sorry Julian if its in HTML.
cheers

I bought a hzj-81v 95 diesel (non turbo) with 65 k Kms, imported in UK and
then converted & MOTed by the seller; now 2 years after it has run about 20
K m i l e s trouble free, if a bit slow up-hill and with a trailer.
I am very tempted to fit an aftermarket turbo, but I am worried about:
bottom ends, injection pump & injectors upgrade e mapping, fuel comsumption,
insurance.
Has anybody had made this type of up-grade?
Which turbo? What else is to be considered?

Stefano, further to Julian's comment. I would suggest that to get in
touch with some Oz 80 owners you had also better join the Lcool
international list and then look through the archive. Most of us here
also subscribe to Lcool and it is a very useful resource. Most TLC's
in Oz are diesel and there were plenty of 1HZ 80's imported as well
as countless 70 series with the engine. In fact it is coming back
again in a slightly modified form in a new 'ute' model. They are a
typically gregarious bunch with a sense of humour that Brits
understand, but you will see the Americans are sometimes given a hard
time in their many discussions. So you may take a while to understand
the many quips. But seriously they are mostly very good engineers
and most of them have tried most tricks with the 1HZ. If you can't
find enough in the archive then just post a query even aiming it at
the Oz fraternity in the subject line, and you will get a very
helpful response. And surprise surprise, a lot of them will recommend
mods supplied by Maarten at AAI. As Julian said, he is the best for TLC
mods.
We also have a very experienced TLC technician on this list residing
in NZ who also posts to the Lcool - Craig Vincent, though he has been
quiet for a while. Are you out there Craig ?
Its interesting that you sourced a 1HZ engined 80 that came from the
UK. They were never sold with that engine in the UK and not in Japan
either - from where most imports arrive into the UK. The 1HZ mostly
gets into Europe via the 70 series of which new models are still sold
at least in Germany. So anyway, its nice to know that I am not alone
with my 1HZ powered 80 on this list !
Cheers
