Hey Crew, Need some pointers on an issue that I have with my 1UZFE equiped HiLux... My Tacho neddle flicks around like it is getting some interferance or something. I used to do it all the time when I'd load the engine up, for example driving around a corner in third gear (manual) from...

Download probs Hey Bsee, Went to the link but it tells me that the page cannot be openned... Any clues? Shuey

AC Line Repairs Just a thought, if you haven't already got these lines fixed... You can solder/alunimium braze these lines quite easily, without having to remove them from the car... You just need a welding blanket to cover all the other parts over, then use a aluminium soldering rod with...

All good Cheers Zuffen.... I had a read of Pete Scotts article and it makes sense to do it all while is apart. I'll start getting the parts sorted out this week and do the overhaul next weekend. Cheers, Shuey

Other Parts Hey Guys, Thanks for all of your input. Tell me... and this may be a stupid question... but shoul dI be changing the Ider Pulley's and the tensioner... anything else I should consider??? Cheers, Shuey

The simplest solution is to consider the Toyota A340 transmisson with VF2A Transfer case that comes out in the Surf's etc... You'll find these trannies in a number of different vehicles... Including the Lexus itself only the surf variety has the transfer case mounted to the extension housing...

Cheers Damien... I don't have a subcription to AutoSpeed, but from what I have read of the column it is the same as the Zoom magazine article... it was a series of articles that talk about Julian's previous car (Liberty) and it's cornering characteristics... then overcoming a few mechanically...

One more thing... If Julian is reading this... do you do a kit for the R32 GTR Skyline that adjusts the amount of torque to the front wheels...? I remember reading an article on it in an old Zoom magazine where you had put one together...

Well, there ya go... Real pitty that, cos i was real fired up to get one. I have an Apexi S-AFC on my GTR Skyline and it works a treat. I figured for about 1/4 the price i could have done the same on my HiLux... oh well. So... next question... is there a simple way of getting rid of the AFM...

Hmm... I've removed it all together... Hope it won't affect things to much....If it does then I'll drill a hole through the centre of it and screw it back in to the same location... 1.8th of a turn off the bottom. Thanks for that info.

Hmm... Interesting stuff, huh??? I did the search as you recommended and had a good read. I guess the upshot of those comments posted is that it is a very effective tool when used on the right application. My understanding of piggyback signals is that it interupts the signal from it's source...

Hey Guys, Yeah, the IAC is all sorted to. On the bottom of the Air Flow Meter is a bung with a threaded plug. I simply removed the bung and the threaded plug then tapped a 16 x 1mm thread into it (leaving the orginal threaded section alone, just in case I want to return it to factory) then...

Hey Crew, I was flipping a few pages of the latest Jay Car Electronic's Catalogue and i noticed a kit that can be used to modified the fuel curve of injected cars... VERY cost effective little device... Has anyone seen one of these in action? Here is an extract of it's description: "Qty...

Ok... software loaded and photo size reduced...

Yeah... I need to reduce the size of the photo... to big to post... Reformatted my PC the other day and need to reload some software... stay tuned...

Hey guys, Just about finished my cold airbox off for my HiLux, so I thought I'd throw up a photo for you guys to look at... Food for thought on your own projects. Have yet to do the final fit up and also cut the hole through the guard for the 80mm snorkle, but you will get the idea. If...

Hey Crew, Just about to do a major service on my 1UZFE equiped HiLux and would like to know if the Lexus waterpumps on an Australian delivered Lexus would fit up (both mount and plumbing outlet positions) to a Crown type engine??? If it is the case it means that I can go to my local Toyota...

Hey guys, Just for the sake of this subject, i'm running a K&N pod filter bolted directly to my AFM and have had no problems with turbulence at all. I do however have a slight ping when the under bonnet temps get up to around 92 degrees (not suprising, huh???) thus the search for a cold air box...

Hey there, I'm facing the same question myself and figure that fabricating something is going to be the best option. One thing to consider, what ever you choose, is the volume of your airbox too. You wouldn't wanna make it to compact then have your engine starve for airflow. Personally, i'm...

Any other mods to your set up, ie extractors etc... What was your base line engine configerations? What was the Uni Chip set up worth to buy and tune? I'm keen to look at those sort of gains for my Hilux... Cheers, Shuey
