Net 'n update. Die outjie is nou reg. Het die verkoeling sisteem gebloei en nou is hy 100%. Het ook weer die regte ht lead van die coil na die dizzy toe. So hy over fuel nie meer nie. Ek dink die twee faktore saam het veroorsaak dat hy warm word

Thanks vir al die replies manne. Ek die ambient tempratuur hier by ons is baie hoog van self. Op 'n goeie dag is dit 38. Hoe sal 'n ou te werk gaan om die verkoeling sisteem te bloei? Het dit nog nooit nodig gehad om te doen nie. Ek het ook geen cowling nie. Daar is nie rêrig spasie vir een nie. Sal...

Hi Almal. Ek het so bietjie raad nodig van die kenners af. My Lexus v8 het geen probleem met hitte op die lang pad nie en het nog nooit oor verhit nie. Ek was verlede naweek in die rivier wat dik droë sand het en die voertuig kwaai terug hou. Maar die engine word bitter vinnig warm. Hilux 3.0 kzte r...

Hi Guys, Did a parts reference on toyodiy with the gasket part number. The gasket will confirm PCD of the 4 Stud brake master...

I am really keen on putting one of those in, will give the codes to my guy at Toyota tomorrow. The clearance between the intake bend and the brake pipes will be significantly increased!

The project is almost complete, need to put some remaining wires into sleeving, sort out some rattles, and fit that stofpad bumper. Oh yes and refit the roof rack canopy and rooftop tent!

Fuel Consumption update: From nelspruit to Jhb I got 4 km to the litre, this was due to the gearbox that was stuffing around, had no second gear at all so you can imagine it was a bit of a nightmare! Thanks to Mark Watson, the problem was solved early Saturday morning at his Workshop in Springs. Tha...

robvan87

I drove from nelspruit to Lydenburg this morning and some some town driving 140km total. Only put in 36 liters this morning and the tank is still half, was empty before I filled it. Quick calculation will put the consumption between 6 and 8. Will fill on Friday as I need to have it dynod in Witbank....

robvan87

After a extreme amount of time, tears, cursing, suicidal thoughts and effort the rebuild is slowly creeping to an end. A few more little issues to sort out but the biggest hurdles have been overcome.

Hi Muz. Don't know what Marks policies are so I don't know if I am allowed disclosing any prices. I would suggest you contact Mark directly.

Getting the whole setup from Mark. Spitronic shifter tcu. One of his oil coolers and the adapter. I have to go the auto route cant afford the manuals no more!

robvan87

Thanks guys. Spoke to Mark this morning. Gave the go ahead for all the goodies. He says it will take about 2 weeks for the adapter to be completed. So hopefully the Lux will be roaming the roads again in 3 weeks!

If the price difference is that great. I would down grade a bit as well. Not sure what the impact on the fuel consumption would be, but you might experience a slight increase in power. Smaller diameter wheel to turn
Speedo will be affected as well.

Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk

robvan87

IMHO...... I would stay with the 31x10.5x15. It gives you a slight bit more ground clearance and the price difference shouldn't be that much?

I understand what mean by turning the whole intake around Louis, but will there be space for the Idle Controll valve to be facing to the rear, it is somewhat of a touch and go situation with the intake facing the right way round.

Does anyone have a lexus autobox to Hilux 4Y 2.2 transfercase adapter lying around gathering dust

robvan87

Got mine sorted with the same 90 bend, but my brake master doesn't have an upright outlet like yours, both outlets face to the right (to the engine). So I had fittings made up with braded break hoses. The bend still touches the brake line but I am sure it will hold. Just another question. The Donald...

If everything is original equipment, I think the best bet would be to keep it that. I am going the spitronics route with ls400 box, and I believe that your kick down position can be adjusted to a position on the tps sensor. Whether it is going to kick down to second I don't know but will let you kno...

robvan87

I would look at the same type of fuel consumption VAN has a 50mm body lift, Procomp 4" suspension with custom blades at the back. Bull bar + winch, canvas canopy, roof top ten and roof rack. 6km to the liter is okay...!

Does anyone know if Mark Watson supplies the automatic bellhousing already converted to take a clutch fork and slave cylinder? Sort of a bolt on kit with the adapter plate? I think my bellhousing supplied by turbo toys is misaligned.

Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk

That sounds like a descent explanation. Combine that with vented discs and you should be able to stop quicker with less brake failure. Thanks
