I'm agreeing with Blown80 adding more and more fuel will end up with an inefficient burn with one of the results being increased heat, right up until you start washing the bores and filling the sump. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

I think you're on the money with it stopping people from putting too much load on. Seems engineers have to take into account ham fisted monkeys that tighten everything until their sphincter twitches. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

All sounds good. Definitely something to consider. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Cheers Chris :thumbup:

How do they stack up against Warn winches with regards to parts availability and ease of rebuild? Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Good to see another from N44 here. You'll really enjoy that 80. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

I think what Trevor is trying to say is if it can survive his use it can't be all that bad!

Shayne that doesn't actually reduce the image file size, the bandwidth used is exactly the same all you're doing is opening an image larger than your screen and your laptop is then optimising the image to best fit your screen.

Nope 1kzte is single mass Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

I reckon that's a great effort. No trailer? No problem. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Because as much as we all love them, they aren't the best at everything. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Shayne in case you're unaware the standard temp. gauge is very unresponsive, they struggle to rise above the standard halfway point until the engine is REALLY starting to run hot. I'm pretty sure Trevor and others have linked to some electronic gauges in the past that are much better at judging...

No problem, not trying to point you in the wrong direction but having not heard the noise it's hard to tell. I have known bad thrust bearings to cause a clunk in the past though. Hope you find the source. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

I know you think it's not clutch related but have you thought it might be a dodgy thrust bearing? Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

I know a few people that have driven cars will welded rear diffs every day and there's only a couple things to worry about really. You will need to be more careful in the wet. It will skip and squeak at low speed in cars parks etc. Your turning circle will increase a little. Rear tyre wear...

On my old shorty there was plenty of access when replacing the rear mounts but it did have a body lift. If you need the body lifted some to get access I imagine you'll get away with only undoing the 2 rearmost mounts and at a push the next 2 down. You should be able to get a scissor jack...

I'll let Trev sweat trying to carefully grind the pin and then I'll put it back together for him while he watches from afar.

Looks good Andy :thumbup:

Ideally you want to get it plugged in and see if it's stored any error codes but to me it sounds like it could be a maf sensor.

Big thanks to Tony and everyone that had a hand in organising. Had a brilliant weekend out.

So just for reference, can you confirm does it fit, or have you forced it?

A guy I knew who was a stupidly quick downhill rider reckoned his secret was his fear of heights. Made him want to get to lower ground faster.

Well erm... Yeah about that... I might have to up my rates.

Well done mate. Sorry I couldn't help more in the final stages.

It'll be down to the way you've got the exchange set up on the phone.

I had a similar letter from the council today, I agree it's ridiculous.

In my mind it's no different to having an lpg tank strapped under the vehicle.

They might not be cheap but they'll last you a lifetime, the only thing that seems to die is the batteries and they're easily replaced

If you have a look on some of the campervan and motorhome forums it seems a lot of the time gas isn't actually used, they just work very quietly playing on the fact that you're likely to have had a couple drinks. The small camping areas set up outside towns are said to be safer than the...

Not familiar with the setup on 80s so this might be irrelevant but on a previous car I had the EGR valve was linked to the anti-shudder valve and blocking off the vacuum pipe to the EGR had the same effect, down on power. Turned out this was because the anti-shudder valve was essentially working...

He's quite right, and the other thing to do is do them up tight then back them off a quarter turn. I'll always use a bridle where possible, spreading the load is beneficial but it also helps to lessen the shock.

:lol: it makes sense

I don't think much progress has been made yet, I know he's getting the parts in ready, he currently has an Eaton M45 supercharger with uprated pulley set for more boost and a turbo from a Volvo truck that he is planning to run as well as having the standard turbo turned into a hybrid. He's in...

Not keen on the front for an overlander. Any plans for the interior? I reckon a small fridge for your beers, some leather seats and maybe some good strong storage and you'd have a really nice useful place to sit.

Looks like an interesting project you've got yourself. You know the V8 makes sense, nothing like a rumble under the bonnet and silky smooth towing.

That was my original suggestion, a colleague of mine is embarking on a compound charged 90 project

Well that's a pain, cheers for your help anyway guys.

Bit of an odd one, but does anyone know the maximum flow rate for injectors on the 1kzte? And likewise the rates for the D4D injectors?

Totally with you Shayne. Apart from having an idiot behind the controls the biggest danger to bikers is every other bugger on the road. The throttle does work both ways, and as far as I'm aware every bike these days comes fitted with brakes, certainly every bike I've owned has! Bikes aren't...

Looks a bit small to be a car trailer

I don't know about anyone else but when I say to someone "call it a drink" I don't really expect anything more than a bit of gratitude and maybe a favour in the future. Maybe I should up my rates.

The clutch was near enough dead, it wouldn't have lasted much longer tbh.

Some likely culprits are the pipes on top of the fuel tank. The pickup pipe and associated bits. They might look fine but they are known to go porous.

It won't be the fuel, these engines will run on anything remotely oil like. My money is still on air in the system.

If there's a fuel leak, air can and will get in the system which cause it to miss, shudder and die on the cylinder the air leak is on. Eventually. If there's air getting in there then it's possible its getting sucked into all four cylinders, hence it cutting out.

Only just spotted the additions to this thread. Too bloody right I'm a good mate! Never known a gearbox so awkward. Oh and for blanking off the egr just do what I did with Chewy, stick a ball bearing in the vacuum that actuates it. Saves making plates up and the hassle of taking it off if...

What's this got to do with the price of bread? It's slow to turn over, fuels got nothing to do with it.

Good to hear you enjoyed it, told you N44 are a friendly bunch. Chris I'd keep an eye on Trevor at the next Lincomb, by the sounds of it he's getting a bit close to your 80. The last thing you want to wake up to is Trevor sprawled over the bonnet blowing it kisses!

And a front locker was an option in certain countries, but very very few have this option.

I can't remember what the timing belt intervals are but on the 1kzte it is a 15minute job.
