Richard you do realise that one of dc-2-dc charger will cost about the same as two of those relays. It will protect your primary battery from draining, AND it will be the best charger for your second battery. But wait, there's more, you only need the one at your battery box. Each vehicle will just ...

After reading all of that and doing my homework on solenoids I think I'm gonna play it safe and fit NL Intelligent Solenoids in the Pradog and Dadz. The Pradog has already wrecked its aux battery by leaving the circuit open and cranking on both batteries. As far as Dadz goes, I could have a manual s...

Here's mine, a work in progress really. Key is that I want to maak it interchangeable between the Pradog (as 3rd battery) and the Hilux (as 2nd battery). Up until last night I was going to bolt on the Cole Hershee solenoid to the box but that's not maaking a lot of sense now, I'll rather put a solen...

Nice job Mr. Chairperson Sir!

Dadz Toy

Thank You Mr Brandstetter, I think I've an idea of how to tackle it now.

Mud Dog wrote:. I also used a toggle switch with an LED indicator so that I am always aware when it's on.

Does it require an On/Off switch or a "bell press" switch to activate the solenoid?

Rich

On my van I installed a semi permanent solar panel on the canopy roof that keeps the 2nd battery charged all the time (through a Phocos controller from 4x4Direct). I left the old heavy cables and CH solenoid from the main battery in place but with an activation / deactivation switch on the dash (th...

I was advised by the sales person not to keep the fridge off for long periods of time, he reckons that I should keep it running even if its outside of the double cab. Is this generally good advise? Do you guys keep your compressors running all the time? That's news to me! Mine's stored away between...

I think scrap yards are your best bet boet! I have seen a new rear seat clasp used (long wire type) which was attached to the left rear anchor bolt on the drivers seat. New belts and clasps are available from Midas nê. My old SFA seats are somewhere in Cape Town (presently with The Butch3r I think),...

Well, I am now the proud owner of a dc Hilux 2001 2.7i!

She drives like a dream and has been so well cared for. I hope to get many years of service from...

Welcome Ryno

I have the same vehicle and have spent the last 4 yrs working on it so I'm really quite getting to grips with it.

Well done for curing your Landy disease, can be pretty nasty but Toyota is the best antidote!

Welcome man!

Rich

Dadz Toy

Mr_B built a catch can on his 4Y EFi, he used a power steering reservoir to store which fed back into the block. Worked a treat!
We have LP and HP filters on the EFi units to make sure only the cleanest fuel goes through the injectors.

Many Happy Returns Young Dude!

Edit: Downloaded a later manual and they show it on pin 8, but ja , no pot value or any spec of what input it is i.e 0-5V. I would use one with a really high value with 2 extreme pins between 0 & 12V and the center/adj pin of the pot on pin 8. Check the 3 wires you mentioned & measure if th...

You got a SERIOUS bargain there man!!

Is that an electrical selectable Locker then?
(Rather than an automatic)

R

Dadz Toy

Do any of the other brands ( not ARB) of Lockers fit our Import diffs?

Rich

Dadz Toy

That's AWESOME thanks!

I shall check Dadz over the weekend and see if I can't hook up the wires again.

Thanks a million !

Rich

Dadz Toy

I wonder if a fellow SFA Owner wouldn't mind looking to see where those wires are supposed to and if there is a clip on the end of the wires.

Pretty pleeeeaase??

Rich

Dadz Toy

Will check out Dastek too.

Have a factory fitted IC.

And a spare genuine Toyota one with Boost Sensor I'm looking to sell if anyone is in need.

Rich

Dadz Toy

Yes, just fitted an AMC Head, had two cracks over number 4 pot at 280,000.
Will research Unichip, is it Plug n Play or a workshop jobby?

Rich

Dadz Toy

Don't worry about the Software I can do that in cab!
Please PM me your account details and I'll send you necessaries for Postnet.

Lekker!!!

Rich

Dadz Toy

just checked my reverse lights

NOTHING!!!

Blikskottel they were working when I changed my rear light clusters last year!

How the hec did that happen I wonder??

R

Dadz Toy

Yep, that's a STD Dicktator ECU, saam generation that Dadz runs on.

If you really don't mind parting with it, I'll pay the Courier costs nê.
Would be great to have a guinea pig/back-up unit for Dadz.

R

Dadz Toy

Standard Dicktator nê

Do you perhaps have a Dicktator Igniter there too (TP100) boet??

R

Dadz Toy

What chip have you on your 1KZ please Louis?
Did you do it for fuel efficiency or performance?
Interested cos my Prado is a dog on the highway and she drinks diesel big time.

Rich

Dadz Toy

The Dicktator has a triple pin POT lead out of the back.
Then in Setup you can chose the staged increments of adjustment.
I have a nice little collection of pots ranging from 5k up to 2000k.
Question is what size do I use, I can't afford to blow anything!

Rich :cool dude:

Dadz Toy

Found two bare wires which had been tucked up on top of the gearbox.
They are attached to a sensor of some sort on the gearbox.
Can anyone please enlighten me?

I replaced my old ones with clear "Autopa" units about 5 or 6 years ago. They are still sparkling clean and corrosion free as the day I got them. You'll see that there's a shrowd over the globe so there's no worries about legalities Mr Brandstetter. Most new vehicles are going this route a...

Has anybody used a POT on a Diktator Std?
I want to install a POT on mine but I don't know what resistance to use.

I'm hoping someone here has experience.

Just an update, the seats have worn really well, no splits, cracks or broken seams which is more than I can say for my Prado seats which are in quite a sorry state. Only failure I've had is the passenger side headrest is jammed down this is as a result of my kids constantly activating it to see whi ...

I would have thought R80k was the maximum asking price and that would for me have to include a good pre-sale inspection!
As far as your concerns about longevity goes, save those for Nissan and other comparable vehicles.
