As far as I know its controlled by the ECU

Die$eL

Wow!!! thats a scary amount of dirt

Die$eL

My opinion is that its too gorgeous to do a joint venture with another company.

anyways, when they do a JV dont they start from scratch together? This car is already developed, just needs an engine and drive train.

Die$eL

Wow! Awesome pics!!!

Great way to install a power cable on the one... Mounting points built in... lol

Die$eL

Waahahahahahha. Thats brilliant!

Die$eL

Damn!!!

I wonder how much of that got through to the injectors!

Is there another fuel filter in the tank on the D4D?

Die$eL

Wow!!! It's gorgeous!!

Congrats!

Die$eL

Holy moly thats a big bugger!!!

Where was it caught?

Die$eL

I also hope it does last. I would love to visit Moz again (although the corrupt cops are such an irritation)

Die$eL

Funny how a story of a country which is on the verge of war making peace just gets lost into the archive of little arbitrary stories on new24 but the negative stories get pushed to headlines... Even Robin Williams (may he rip) was more visible than this one... http://www.news24.com/Africa/News/Mozam...

Die$eL

you can even earth that wire against the casing of the radio itself.
thats how mine is done

Die$eL

I wish there was a video of that!!!!
CRAZY!!!

Die$eL

lol

thats so awesome!!!

Die$eL

Congrats!

Looks good!

Die$eL

These guys are really funny. WRT the air intakes. We have tried on a dyno. On my 86 i gained 2WKW with a drop in filter. On my RunX with CAI it made a big difference (run in conjunction with a full mandrel bent exhaust and branch). I dont remember the figures but there were definite gains. + it scre...

Die$eL

Well done Tumelo!

Personally, I felt you brought a much more natural atmosphere to the show where some of the local 4x4 shows seem to be scripted.

Die$eL

Damn, I Really want to see what my tuna does on the rollers compared to others but unfortunately we are having a dyno day at KAR on the same date. Since i'm on the organizing committee i have to be there. Please post the results!

Die$eL

Cant be killed!!! Toyota FTW!

Die$eL

Looks lekker! Congrats

Die$eL

Hilux FTW!!! :)

Very nice. I always wanted the tuna rims on my vigo but never got them.

Die$eL

I've driven round as well.
In my RunX and in a A1 type open wheeler. It's a difficult track but soo awesome!

I marshalled at the track for a bit then swambo started complaining that i'm spending half the weekend at the track and you can figure out the rest

Die$eL

MR2 Turbo

Die$eL

Very sad news

Word is that its Very unlikely to remain a racetrack.

Apparently the residents keep complaining about the noise... Perhaps know more about the area before buying next time...

Die$eL

Awesome! Thanks Marnus!

Die$eL

I tried the extra earth cable. It's still the same. It isnt bad though. I'm just pedantic. I will post a video next week or so when i have a chance. Going on holiday today.

Die$eL

Thanks for the input. I'll try the earthing bit and give feedback.
regarding oil, all my vehicles are serviced religiously and some I change oil and filter before the service schedule depending on my driving etc.

Die$eL

Not sure why the topic got duplicated. Admin, please delete one copy...

Die$eL

My Tuna cranks slowly (well compared to others I've heard). It's a bit of a lazy swing but isn't really bad. A buddy says its the battery that isn't that strong anymore. To a certain extent I agree. However my Hilux was the same even after I had replaced the battery. So, before buying a new battery ...

OOooooooooooooooooh Lala

Lovely!!!!!

Hello Nishan. How did you check your Vin?Where?Cause I was at Toyota on friday and according to them they don't have any list for the recall yet.They even called some other dealership to confirm if they had received and list as yet.And they also said nothing yet but will contact me if mine is part ...

Guys we have had a few requests for a karting championship and we have decided to heed your calls. :thumbright: This is an idea of how it will work. The championship will be divided into 2 rounds. The first round consists of 3 tracks. At the end of the first round, the top 50% of entrants will proce...

So I found this posted on a different forum and mailed the guy: Hi all. For all the Hilux and Fortuner owners out there who may be looking at changing their diesel injectors any time soon this may well save you some hard earned cash! I was put onto a young gentleman who specializes in the repair of ...

I checked mine and it says its not effected. They probably have a list of those VIN numbers where the part was replaced and removed them off the recall list...

Die$eL

I will definitely try, provided i can find my invoice

Is your airbag light on? Caused by the spiral cable? Toyota will repair it free if your's is one of those vehicles effected by the latest recall.

I unfortunately already paid and had mine repaired!! :evil:

Die$eL

EPIC FAIL!!!

Hahahahahahahhaaaa

Die$eL

Congrats! May you have many many safe miles with Buster!
Looks very neat!

my 2c, give him a nudge bar as a welcome to the family gift

Die$eL

daaaamn! Would insurance cover that?
or would they tell him to bugger off for not walking it first?

Die$eL

cool. keep us posted!

Were all of your last few tanks filled at the same station? Could be contaminated fuel...

Die$eL

I believe overfilled oil on a diesel can lead to engine failure If you suspect you have, rather drain it and refill. Fill just around 6.5L and then top-up from there. I know reading the dipstick on these vehicles is a mission of note Really?? Doesnt it just burn out? The crank whips up the oil and ...

Die$eL

Sorry to hear that JP.

Looking forward to hear whats the new figures and see pics of the new build!

Best engine ever developed in the history of the world!

Die$eL

Thanks for the advise. Ok so i'm gonna pass on these. If anyone is interested in that set pm me and i will forward your details to the seller.

Cobus i'll give you a shout when i do decide to change it. Thanks

I didnt think of that. Checked now and it does have coils.
Does the Hilux have leaf springs at the rear?

Die$eL

I have a 2006 Tuna and can get a complete suspension setup (coils, shocks, leaf springs) off a 2013 hilux that has done around 30 000kms for R3k. Should I take it? My tuna has done 114 000kms. Now we know the early Tuna like to roll over and play dead. I understand the suspension (shocks) were revis...

Die$eL

I already had a sit down with swambo about this. If it is produced and launched in SA and we can afford it, we will definitely get one! No discussions!

Die$eL

this is so cool! Thanks

Come join us on the skidpan at Zwartkops on 29 March.
The Toyota Advanced Drivers (TAD) will be instructing on collision avoidance and skid control.
