I need to re-calibrate the tacho as the new fuel pump is making the RPM read lower. Anyone an idea on how I go about doing this? Nothing in the Ellery manual on it that I can see? I've had the dash out but its all electronic, needle doesn't move manually, reverts back if moved.

There isn't too much info out there on completely getting rid of the EGR. It's been blanked off a good few years but now that I have it off I'm just thinking of getting rid. I know there are a lot of vac lines interconnected everywhere on it, are there drawbacks to removing it completely?

Sorry for dumping another thread but may as well keeps things in order :yum: Doing the full overhaul and the injectors I got from Kaiapoi repowers are going in now also. Quite a bit of carbon and dirt in the injector seats. One question is the copper gasket that you put in first, it has a flat...

Just starting into this, read a few manuals and watched a few you tube clips but I still am unsure as to the position of the crankshaft. Max Ellery manual says to set the crankshaft pulley to 30 degrees to the right of the timing marker? I'm at the stage of pulling the pump and it is solid in...

Getting around to jobs I couldn't prioritise for a long time. Put some nice shiny pedals on and I picked up a manual throttle ages ago when sourcing a new throttle cable for the manual fuel pump. Will come in handy with the winch I'm sure. I think I'm going to take on the manual pump myself and...

Hope someone can shed some light on this, I have a noise which is an intermittent squeal/whine like at a specific part during the rotation of the wheels/props and it is only evident when slowing down and only occurs after driving for a bit, it doesn't happen from a cold start, only after driving...

Hello all, I am very gradually getting there with the mods for my truck. I've installed the turbosmart boost controller now and the next step is to actually get the mechanical pump hooked up. The main issue is the throttle cable, the standard cable on the TE is too short (I've been told, I...

As with all things in life the price spectrum on a boost controller is vast. Take turbosmart for example https://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/performance/boost-control-electronics/turbosmart-boost-tee-boost-control-valve And then this little chap...

Well after a lot of trial and error I went with a 2 inch Pedders suspension lift kit with heavy duty front coils and shocks for the winch bumper. I never thought I was going to put a suspension lift on my 90, these things just snowball. I'm impressed with the Hankook RT03's so far, early days...

Got some angel eye headlights for my 90, just a question for anyone who has wired them already. Did you splice or connect the LED halo wires to the side light which is turned on with the first twist of the light switch lever in the cab? I suppose you would call them parking lights maybe? The...

Looking into new headlights, I know that Shayne bought some of the angel eye lights in black. I'm looking at these https://www.hotpop-racer.com/en/23-angel-eyes-headlights-toyota-land-cruiser-kdj-90-or-95.html Thing is getting them for a right hand drive (truck drives on the left hand side of...

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...

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...

Hello everyone, I've ran into my usual maintenance issue when carrying out some work on my 90. Ok so my passenger side bell crank seized and I went about freeing it up. Looking at the handbrake shoes I noticed one was particularly worn compared to the other so got new shoes. Freed up the...

Hello again! Here is an update on my truck. Front mount intercooler has been installed, safari snorkel in position, 3 inch dump pipe and side exhaust, boost controller and EGT gauge. Ok so I get 10-11 psi on the gauge (maybe loss through the FMIC) not too worried about it, exhaust and dump...

Hello everyone, I have a KZJ90 and I am currently doing a few mods. I have my bigger boots now, Hankook Dynapro AT-M and I've just installed my snorkel yesterday. We are getting there! I have a boost gauge and I am now looking to install it. I am pretty sure its a mechanical boost gauge, I...

The 15 amp fuse for the radio/cigarette lighter and side mirrors on my 90 keeps blowing (burnt through). Is this a common occurrence for anyone else? Firstly I thought it was the fact that I had a cooler box plugged into the 12v supply but I haven't used it since and still blowing. The radio is...

I just have a few questions arising from some scanning of the net recently. I would like to get a 2.5 inch exhaust upgrade, (would a 3" be more beneficial?) but there are some questions I need answering. My 90 will have to be DOE'd (Department of the Environment) like the MOT where they will do...

Hi Guys, Joined a while ago but due to studies and lack of funds I have not been doing many mods to my 90!:thumbdown: Need new tyres now though so thought I would run it past the forum. I have 265/65 r17's on at the minute (I have the 120 series alloys) I am sure that 265/70's will fit but...

Well lads, Just want to know the ins and outs of fiddling around with the fuel pump. Ive read in other posts on other forums about fiddling with it trying to get optimum mpg or trying to get the most of of veg oil. Im primarly concerned with my LC's MPG, trying to see how high I can get...

Well lads, I come for pastures greener. Liam Woods is my name and I am the proud owner of a black 90 series SWB, 2000 model, KZJ90. Mods on my cruiser go as far as a bull bar and thats about it at the minute but im a student in college so once I get out in the real world I hope to lift it...
