Yep, off a 120. I would Like to go with the 285/75 r16 tyre but I don't have a suspension lift, just the milners body lift. Could get away with it maybe? Sounds like I will need modulars with a big negative offset then, I was looking at the -44 but then thought the -25 might do it. When I see...

Hopefully these give you an idea Shayne, I had the front jacked up Stripping front calipers) so more pressure was on the rear so it has more space above the tyre but I would imagine I should be more concerned with rubbing at either side of the mudguard. In the last picture you can see how much...

Trying to narrow things down a bit. When I get modulars with a negative offset -25 or more does this mean that I can up the tyre width? I have 265 70 r 17's and I am really finding it difficult to judge what tyre to get. Could I get away with 275 70 r16's? Will offset tyres and a body lift do...

It's just really for aesthetic purposes more than anything, after fitting the fender flares the wheel do really need to be sorted out! lol

Yet again, cheers for the help lads, those GOJOs seem a bit pricey, think I'll just go for the triangular ones.

I'm trying to source some steel wheels for my 90 I like the look of these http://www.accessoires4x4.ch/en/steel-weel-soft-8-jeep-toyota-nissan-/170-soft-8-steel-wheel-6-x-1397.html And even though the photo shows a 5 stud wheel there is a six stud. I was hoping to get the 16x8 offset -25 but the...

Our Super custom Hi-ace camper that we bought in NZ. 1kzte engine, permanent 4WD and some nice boots on it. Solar panel on top with two big leisure batteries and a 1200w invertor. It was the best, sold it for a surf which cracked a head on us within a few weeks :(

I have the 120 series alloys but I would imagine the offset is similar to the 90 originals. I think what I'll have to do is get my tape measure out and do some maths. I went for 265's with the hankook set that are currently on it but that was before I put the milners body lift on it. So would...

It really needs the bigger boots now though, it looks like its skipped leg day :D

Also Beau, whats your take on the tyres?

They were a lot and I mean a lot of work! There seems to be a few flares for the 95 lwb but not the swb 90. These had two seperate sections on the rear arch (to accomodate the rear passenger door) which I had to fibre glass together and fill/sand spray etc. Also I had to alter them a lot so...

Its a safari snorkel and I think I got it from Spain or Portugal just by searching online for one, a genuine one! Its the same as this installed by sae70 https://www.landcruiserclub.net/community/threads/safari-snorkel-land-cruiser-90-colorado.128483/ Now I just need to get the money...

Ok so after some deliberation I am going to opt for some offset steel wheels and new tyres. I really wanted to go with that setup after seeing so many similar ones in NZ but then I came home and looked at my tyres and alloys I was happy enough to stick with them. But now I am think it needs...

Cheers for the advise guys, plenty of food for thought ;)

So would a spacer of 30mm or an offset of 30mm exert similar forces on the bearings? I have to say it would be easier for me to get spacers rather than get new tyres and rims and try and sell the old ones, but I wouldn't rule anything out ;)

Thanks beau, that is a lovely set up you have there ;)

Cheers Shayne, can you describe what you think could go wrong with the spacers? I wouldn't mind keeping my current alloys and tyres so that's why I am thinking of spacers. Also offset rims seem quite hard to come by in Ireland. Saying that I haven't actually called in to a shop and talked to...

Hi all, I continue on my path of KZJ90 modification righteousness :P Ok so I am looking at wheel spacers as I like my current alloys (120 series type) so I am just wondering are they compatible with spacers? Also 30,40 or 50mm? The standard I seem to come across is 30mm but I have a...

Honestly Shayne these guys know the 1kzte engine side out.

Ok so you have taken away, or made redundant the circular filter housing then? K&N do a circular filter for the 1kzte that fits into the housing. What made you go for your current one?

Just on building a 1KD head Beau, when you say poor flow from the 1KZ head do you mean poor flow equals increased heat? Also, what causes poor flow in a 1KZ in comparison to a 1KD? Cheers.

Apologies for a bit of a thread hijack, I am just wondering Shayne, did you get the K&N air filter that sits in the original filter housing or an open filter in the engine bay? Cheers mate.

From looking at that website it seems the injectors are tweaked to allow a higher flow of fuel. So I would conclude that the injectors Kaiapoi have lined up for me are paired up for the mechanical pump? Ultimately when I get these mods installed I want to get it into a shop to tune it as I...

No idea what the boost box is? He didn't mention it to me. Just to answer your question there Beau. From what I have been told the Unichip tricks the ECU with regard to boost so that greater psi can be achieved on the electronic pump. I am not sure how the fueling is increased in relation to the...

Just a little update. Surf head went, when replacing it was noted all four piston heads were cracked! Great! Have been down with Kaiapoi repowers and found out some interesting facts. You can fool the ECU and increase boost with electronic chips and those guys do it with Unichip. They prefer...

Just picked up my doner fuel pumps for kaiapoi repowers. I'll be in the South Island in December so I'll drop them off then. Its a 1kzte pump and a 2lt. I'll be back home in Febuary/March so a while off the install yet. I'll also need to make up a new accelerator cable but Cori from Kaiapori has...

Cheers Sag, thanks for that bro :) some good advise there. Hope you pick up another LC whenever you see fit ;)

Hi Sag, Apologies on hi-jacking the thread, just checking out the front headlights on your ex 90, sniff sniff :( I am thinking about getting some new ones and like the look of these...

Just an update, I need to source a 1kzte fuel pump and a 2lt series 1 or 2 pump housing or second hand pump. Then I'll send these to the guys to knock together their super pump. 1250 New Zealand dollars for that. After the install I need to setup a new throttle cable and also the setup has to...

I've been in touch with Kaiapoi repowers and the guy there informed me that the difference in a chip and the mechanical pump is like night and day. I think the factory turbo is all i need tbh, cheers for the info though beau. I asked about a radiator upgrade also and if he thinks it may be...

I've got all the necessary upgrades in that department, 3 inch side exhaust with bigger dump pipe and a hpd front mount intercooler. What about the factory turbo though? Will it be last with pace running to a max of 20psi, from the mud thread it seems that the pump needed that high boost to run...

I can see it there alright Shayne. Think I will have a chat with Kaiapoi and see what they say. Sounds like quite a bit tuning know how is needed with the manual. I could just leave it in to a shop once I have the pump though and get it tuned by someone who knows what they are doing. The guys...

Only issue then would be fooling the ECU into allowing for higher boost ranges. I see minimum 18psi boost for the manual pump mentioned in the linked thread. Can the factory turbo deal with that range also?

Did someone put this up before? http://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/1kz-te-to-mechanical-pump.487667/ New Manual pump would cost me the same as a chip. More research needed I think. Cheers lads.

Just read the whole thread! Forgot I was a contributor back in the day ;) The boost controller seems a better mod to get, will look into it. Worth looking into the NZ mechanical pump while I am over here also. I'll do some googling on the tablet tune chip jobby, might throw something up...

If I could I would ;) have to wait till I am home :(

Hi all! Doing my usual dip in and out of the forum ;) I am slow and steady with my progress on my truck. Thing is I am over in New Zealand for the year and close to the Motherland of all things mod with 4WD toyo's. So I really have my sights set on picking up some gear over here to post or take...

Hiya Shayne, always enjoyed following your 90 mods. OK so I am in New Zealand for a year and I need to get together any bits and pieces for my 90 while I am over here. Work done so far include, egr blank, throttle plate removal, front mount (big) intercooler, 3 inch dump pipe and straight...

To be honest I have found nothing but Bob threads when scrolling the interweb! Top stuff!

Ohhhh! Whats the new toy? There is plenty of info on your thread and also I found the oz modification too so I will be able to knock something up. Now that I think of it I am actually going to NZ for a year so I should be able to smuggle some back to Ireland, that and a new chip would be spot on!

Great, thanks guys, I was thinking maybe it was some sort of compensatory method that I could not see with it all back together. Incidentally I did find the thread that bob created for the modification, super work by the way Bob. Do you have any of the mod plates at all? Thanks lads, Liam.
