Hello from Oz

Looks like a great place to offroad.
If that place was over here, it would be full of in-breds on quads and goofs in Corsas.

Brilliant David. I really enjoyed that video. You are so lucky to have free and legal access to large areas of that kind of varied terrain. Lovely scenery too.

Right, I will slowly start posting up a few mods Ive done


Firstly, the top mount intercooler

I bought the smallest intercooler of ebay that I found, a Nissan patrol bonnet scoop, a 2" to 2.5" silicon elbow, 2.5" 135* silicon elbow and a 2.5" silicon coupling. Scored another cross over pipe and cut that up.

ARB deluxe bar lic plate holder

I have recently fitted an ARB deluxe winch bar and a tigerz11 winch with rope.

Now the problem was where to put my lic plate, my solution was to make it removable when in use and conceal the winch when not in use.

For this, I bought 2 of those locking pins for the haymen and reece tow hitch. Bolt them to an ali plate and pop rivet the lic plate to the ali plate

rear air bags


I fitted the valves behind the fuel filler flap

Excellent!

You could do with more roof bars though.

i like it, but doesn't need a fan to avoid heat soak when driving slow?

I don't think so,

It only has a small surface area underneathe and the bonnet scoop fits nicely over the cooler,catches a lot of air that goes throu the fins

DP chip has been installed. Drive great now

Steinbauer doesn't make a chip for our car, yet 4 others that I can think of do

That beach is called alkimos beack

There's a lot of beaches like this. We frequently go up to Lancelin with our quad bikes. Opposite the Pinnicles, theres another beach which looks just like your photo. The best thing is that there are proper picnic places where you can cook your own food on the permanent gas BBQs which are free to use.

The lake Navarino video looks good. What kind of area is it, are unlicensed off road vehicles allowed on there? I haven't explored that way yet

I haven't been to lanc or wedge yet


It's a bit like Harvey

You should have a lic car

That vid is with 2 burgundy surfs, 80 series and a Lexus 470

Hello all, so I have a LN130 1993 Toyota Hilux surf diesel 2.4 liter. Went off island for a month and when I returned home found out the injection fuel pump was acting up (hard start to no start due to a dead battery causing the spill valve to stick closed). Found out it was the spill valve and replaced the spill valve with a new one, only to come to a conclusion that I may have had a weak pump after the vehicle continued to roll over constantly. Took out the injection pump and cleaned it up and reinstall only to the same issues.

Got another one from another 3.0 diesel motor which came out a van and seemed to be identical with four injectors nozzle exiting the injection pump ( used) installed and it started easy but with excessive gray smoke and strong diesel fumes. Later I understood that the pump needed to clock (either advance or lean). Did so but am still having white smoke and can't rev the motor past 2k as well as my throttle is not stuck and the engine is ideling at 1500 rmps. Can someone please help me understand what can I do to correct this.

The pump has already been clocked to maximum advance and retard on different days of trouble shooting and still no change in power or rmps deceasing to what I know it ides at.
Should I use the internals for the working injection pump in my old pump? Or should I just reinstall my old pump and see how that works trying to clock it which I haven't tried when I suspected it was worn internally.

Sorry for the long message. Really want my truck up and running the same. It's been 2 years now.
