[SNIPER 3000]

Droppa you could move with them rice boy them lol.

I spoke to a police with a T plates surf...he said that it is not a problem.
If that it the case.....well.
Droppa how you does keep the inside clean after a run like that?
what about the engine bay it does get real dirty?

[aidan]

^^So how to legally go about a T-plate surf?

[droppa]

@sniper u dont want to see inside the engine bay, its painted in mud water....but then again i rel went splashing around eh...

me and them rice boys good, but they dont like too much ppl digging up their roads.......

i have a policeman padna with a T surf, and he says its not a problem...



@aidan i running MTs, the Kumho KL71, 31x10.5x15, they are really aggressive in the mud,
btw i dont know wat u waiting on to bring that jimny out on a run......u is mr.busy.......

[SNIPER 3000]

Droppa have your transmission lights ever came on while splashing around in 4WD High?
With all that work your cooling system is working really well.
Don't forget me about the land.

[rottedv]

Yeah fellas...as Droppa said I finally joined the surf family...PBE 4144.......That rally and special stage was real bessssss. I never thought the surf would have performed the way it did. I get so lost there was a point in time I went into a road and the surf drop down in a big pool.....I said to myself..dat is it I stick...I put in 4hi and dat was it...powered out like a beast...I do need to get better tyres though to cilmb that hill in the special stage...When I get them I'll call yuh droppa and we will try them out....The surf really woking...I luv eeet...

[SNIPER 3000]

Good for you man..............

[droppa]

man say he wanted the PBH boi...........
oh the tranny light never same on, even wen the hose burst and the fluid bled out....
the cooling system works good, i do wish however i cud work on keepin it lower, im gonna do a coolant change and silicon oil change this weeken and also check out the bi-metallic strip of the clutch, to get it to open sooner........

i aint forget u on that thing too eh......

[SNIPER 3000]

Put a tranny cooler and you orn......
Do not trouble trouble by trying to adjust the bi-metallic strip on the clutch that is pressure,just change the oil if you feel it need changing, or put on a land cruiser 8 fin blade. Or you can even lock the clutch where it will be on all the time,but that does rob power big time. Or you can put in a 72 degrees thermostat.Yours came stock with a 82 or 79? You ever did the temperature gauge mod?

The light would not come on if the fluid drains out.It will come on if the temp is high....the sensor for that is on the return line just before it goes back to the sump... if i can remember correctly it can be removed and cleaned.

[sweeks]

Fellas long time no see ... Looks as if everyone is well.

Rotted Congrats .... Post a pic nah.

Btw what filter are you all talking about.

@rottedv, u see the man who know surf here boi......
well i will replace the clutch oil, a tranny cooler is on the to do list and i never did the dash mod, i jus put in a external guage...if i cud get the 72deg thermo i wud surely put that in....

aye sweeks boi, jus this mornin i coming to work an my mind ron on ya, how things man, u get the hilux up and running......hit we ah photos nah.....

[rottedv]

I seeing....I think the tranny cooler would do nicely in my van. Yeah sweeks....I'll check you for some stuff soon....pics up dey man

[sweeks]

Fellas I here ... Good but quiet since fasting started.

[SNIPER 3000]

Sweeks, you know the battery you reconditioned for me the Mitsubishi one remember? I have that parked up home so a couple days ago my battery from the car gone...it was a MTF YUASA THE LIGHT STILL SHOWING GREEN. So i thought it was the starter so 1am in the morning i took out the starter and clean it up, brushes looking like new, stator and commutator cleaned,it still did not start. I put in that battery and it started in one....i was like WOW DUDE! Ran it for a day in the car.

I still bought a battery though...scared to shutdown. Paid $1250 for an "Advance" battery from AM marketing....was not my first choice but was press for time.

[SNIPER 3000]

Rotted the "A Bar" look good on the surf.

[sweeks]

Snipper yeah I remembered ... Glad to know it held the charge after it was reconditioned/recharged.

[rottedv]

Fellas...any one of you guys ever did the egr mod? I'm getting a little smoke when I use the turbo. Also I'm getting a little rattle on my front left side but I did a suspension check at MM and they said everything is good but the actuator for the shocks is a bit loose...Is this supposed to be loose? Lastly, I'm getting some oil leaking through the rocker arm cover...Took it out seal it with some silicon and replaced it but it seems one bolt to the rear was not tightening...Maybe needs to be tapped....But not losing oil but pressure I would like to keep in the crankcase...What you guys think???

[SNIPER 3000]

And here is a photo of the mod. Raw Vacuum comes direct off the feed on side of air inlet.

Why did you think EGR, a little smoking is normal when you mash out.....
check basic first, air filter, fuel filter.

Also an ecu reset does wonders for the engine....give it a try before you do the mod.
You should experience smother idling and smoother gear shifts.
What rpm does the engine idle at?

If you want to go a little deeper, check for DTCs,see if there is any.Read here if there is any you can clear it it's a simple thing you can do on your own

[rottedv]

idles at 800rpm and 850-900rpm with ac....was just doing some reading...egr seems to me to be only useful if you have unburnt fuel in the exhaust or if you are trying to heat something like preheating water before it goes into a boiler to prevent warping....How much unburnt fuel can you have???? a/f ratio must have been mapped before....Maybe needs more air...hmmmm snorkel.......Just seems a waste of design and contributing to smoking.....

[droppa]

from my personal experience what caused alot of unnecessary smoke on my 1KZ was some gunk or build up in the intake manifold...when i was doing the head job i pulled this off and cleaned it with gas and purple blaster, u would not believe the amount of sheit came out that.....that greatly reduce black smoke on cruising and kick down......

also what i did over the weekend when i serviced was a diesel flush using amsoil diesel concentrate and prestone diesel treatment......that also did a great job, im getting a slight dribbling on the injectors which has now been resolved or reduced, not seen any signs since.....

another thing ive learned boi imtiaz is that be careful of where u fill ur fuel, the unipet stations make a difference, wen i cant get to one i usually full on the beetham or by the quik shoppe on the cross, and are much better than the np station 2mins from me.....

[rottedv]

Yeah hoss droppa...Since I bought it I have been filling up at unipet....I started at 420km per 75 dollars then went to 435km and since I started using the concentrate and the cetane boost.....482km on the same 75 dollars to fill up...Maybe needs to be cleaned...ie the tank and the intake.....

[SNIPER 3000]

But that is some best mileage you getting there rotted!
What is the level on the diesel gauge before you refill?

[rottedv]

On E before I refill. The light has never come on. Just a little smoke that I want to reduce..Didn't know that that mileage would be good...But highway running most of the time...Maybe different in traffic conditions..
