Well done!

When I was at KSD with my D4D, I had a chat with Kosie. They tested these Race chips etc on the dyno, and he confirmed, they do make the extra power they claim, but he told me if you saw how high the EGT temps went, you will get a heart attack..... I agree 100%. You want safe power, not just 'more ...

And????

The weekend is long gone!!!

We are waiting in our suspenders for your new van but, no, you keep us waiting?

I beg to differ from Andy - BUT I have not checked on spare part prices in a long time. Essex motors are/was the cheapest R/kw you can/could get. Maybe shop around first? You can even stroke it to 4.0L if your pockets are deep enough. Andy, if you are going the port and polish route, also seriously ...

If you go the Benz route, in Moreleta Park there is a guy by the name of Chris Cloete who is a Bemz expert. VERY, VERY full of sh!t when it comes to quality repairs. He is superbly knowledgable on MB products, from classics to brand new. AND I often see Hiluxes and Fortuners there for services and c...

I know of an A class that will be for sale somewhere around August, if you might s interresting.

Hi,

The fact that the exhaust burns grey in normal use tells me the air:fuel ratio is too lean.

A healthy engine running leaded fuel should only burn grey when used on the open road.

Thabogrobler

Hey Roger,

I guess you must be past Australia already with your move?

Thabogrobler

Hi Guys, does this mapping/chip affect the warranty? what is TSA say about this ? It most definitely does. But most guys just unplug them before a service . Which in my opinion is rather unethical. We had a member here who burnt holes in three different D4d engines each time with WOT and overfuelin...

I have a theory regarding cracked heads and radiators. In short, I believe there are some or the other element left in engine blocks after casting (I believe sand) which fouls radiators. Coupled with a bit of dirt blocking a radiator on the outside in conjunction with a poor heat dissipation design ...

Kan ek oom bietjie laat wakker le vir 'n aand of 2?

Sny dalk deur die bakwerk dat die bumper se brackets reguit vanuit die chassis agter toe loop, sodoende tel die bumper op en kanse is baie minder dat die bumoer 'n ploeg word...?

Welcome Moshe, Unfortunately I can not help you with your question but maybe send a PM to LouisZ or Hoppy here on the forum - between them one should know which one will work for you. Or perhaps jump on toydiy.com and type in the Hilux's VIN number and work on the part number? Would you care to post...

Op die Kz het die output shaft se dikte verskil van die Cruiser s'n - weet nie of dit ook die geval is met die D4D's nie.

I have heard in the old days guys dropped some brake fluid in the carb and then some water. Sometimes, apparently, with enough carbon in the engine, the engine would seize up due to the volume of solids now stuck on top of the pistons.... Where would the solids go? Perhaps between the piston and cyl...

Time for fresh gearbox oil and a new filter.

If you make it back home with the gearbox intact, consider having the oil changed by a machine that flushes oit the whole system. The add 2 tubes of Dr Tranny.

It should solve the slipping clutches issue (IF it was not damaged completely)

Maybe time to pull iut the radiator? A mate almost lost his Pajero'a engine due to a partially blocked radiator. As I type this, I am busy cleaning up the radiator and intercooler of our Freelander - 220 000km and you will not believe all the crap that was blocking the radiator. I guess around 30-40...

Thanks Thabo! More great info to consider. Compared to you guys in S.A.my Hilux has it easy. 100 to 120 Kph max and longest trip ever (couple times a year) would be 3-5 hours. You implied the Plug N Play chips are not mapped in 3D, is that correct? 3D considers RPM and throttle position for fuel ad...

it is probably cheaper due to the odd size?

Welcome Will! My personal preference is the Unichip. I will go as far to say I will not install a chip if I can not get a Unichip properly installed! South Africa is a unique country in the sense that we drive fast over long distances in high heat with heavy loads. Now all of that puts some serious ...

Remove the diesel filter. Check that the seal is not damaged, nor 2 seal on top of each other or that there is indeed a seal.

Fiter might also just be loose.

Dtandard Kz diff ratio's are 3.73 AFAIR but you will need the Kz box as I don't think the 5L box will last long behind a Lexus.

Personally, I would leave the diffs as is and tyre up - either 33 or 35's!

It might be the fuel pump.

Have a pressure test done at Toyota.
