Exactly.. Maybe it's something to do with being a truck engine and trying to keep the engine in its torque band.. 1500rpm its already at 85% of peak. 

OK, so now that I own a gas guzzling 1gr-fe 4.0 v6 in a time of rediculous prices, I've really taken to babying it around trying to increase the fuel economy, best I can manage for a tank around the bay (mix of low hills, 50, 80 and 100km) is 9.4l/100 on the trip computer which in the real world is about 10.5-10.8. I do know that they over fuel these engines but also the factory air filter is very restrictive and sits right on top of the motor suffering heat soak which causes a lot of the over fueling issues. But one thing that annoys the shit out of me is going over the takaka and coasting downhill in gear it'll still use between 4 and 6l/100, unless the revs are over 1700ish. I've also noticed that at idle it'll sit at 650rpm but if your moving at any speed the revs double even if your in neutral. So if you cost in neutral at about 80km it uses 3-5 l/100. 

My plan is to buy a trd cai out of the states which apparently will take on average 2l from the above results whilst giving me an extra 20+rwkw. At 1k delivered I need to do 15000k before I'll see the holes in my pocket close up. It's also had a stage 1 ecu flash. I wonder why the engine is tuned to use fuel coasting in gear and if that's something they could tune out. 

Lack of headroom? How tall are you? I'm 6'5 and have no headroom issues in ours. 

*sigh.. Totp fail.

Mate, I've never had anything to do with fitting a Truetrac into Hilux housing. I'd expect it to be bolt in with nothing special though. If I was doing it, I'd spend an extra $50 and go with the solid pinion spacer too. Even the good/tight OEM Hilux ones you come across are no match for good aftermarket offerings when it comes to lock up. They do remain popular though. I'm selling that 3.58 LSD on TM at the moment. It actually sold today - get paid for/uplifted tomorrow. Late model 3 point something :1 LSD's are always worth reasonable money. A grand for a good one is a good deal. They can go for alot more. 

Hah that was you selling it.. Damnit. If id known I would have bought it. Should have posted here earlier, I actually asked you a question about it on the auction before this. 

@johnny.race what's the deal with the truetrac lsd's into a 2006 hilux rwd drive diff. Are they a straight bolt in? (with preloading of course) are there any other things needed parts wise? Sick of spinning one wheel all the time, there's a hilux 3.58 lsd on the tard for $1100 but for the price I thought I might as well get a better option.

Jesus.. Sopranos spec, you'll need to buy a suburban. 

Does your have the lumbar support feature? Think it's a lever on the lefthand side..

toyotas run super rich from factory, its just the way they are. there is many fuel savings to be had by taking out fuel from the map, and more speeds, but mostly fuel.

example, my 1JZ was running a factory computer when i first built it, i pushed 15PSI through it - stock setting is 9, and put an Apexi neo into the system. we took out 16% from the whole fuel map to get the AFRs into the 12s. 

Why do they do this? They do the same thing on the 1gr but not only that, when the computer senses any issue with air inlet temp it over fuels and pulls timing out to ensure engine safety, but it just makes it a slow thirsty pig with a bad rep.. Especially when towing. 

Lefthand grill looks like a 121, could be persuaded to take it off your hands.. 

The foam would have been made in Wellington at a family friend's factory.. 

Ah yeah.. I offered to buy that, had a 265 hemi in it.. But his brother who was on his death bed in hospital was still gonna do something with it..

"low kms"?

 

Factory condition m9.. 

Pretty much every surf I've ever seen has sagged on the drivers seat, even low km ones. Must use inferior foam.. 

They can crack and still do thousands of kms without showing any symptoms, or, do hundreds of thousands and never crack, or, do fuck all and crack.. 1kz lyfe

Here's a tip from one surf owner to another... Make sure your cooling system is in tip top shape..

The recalled stands are yellow, so obviously not the same ones  Plus the stand is still functioning even if it is laying on it's side, it didn't fail at all. What kind of moran leans against a car on stands anyway? I have two sets of well used rachet stands and the pin ones from SCA (though not screw). Not a single issue. Being in quake church does mean I stack junk under the sills if car is ever in the air. It's currently on blocks of wood as I CBF jacking it high enough for stands.

I had a 1.7t fairmont sitting on two ratchet stands and two pin ones in the Dec 2011 quake, no dramas..

Spam +1..

Do you have a manual impact driver?  They're pretty good for stubborn nuts, they shouldn't be that tight.

small update ..
*I have managed to set base timing.. and I belive also sync cam trigger.
*I have fixed the TPS problem ( tried a few things in the pc link setup...but ended up just swapping 12v and sensore ground over).

I think this may be my limit and were I'm going to need help setting up maps and trying to fire her up.... so ill have a chat to my mate tonight and see if he can talk me through it or even come and help me..

but she's closer than see was 3days ago.

cheers

What gen link is it? 

Which gen surf? 

Exactly what happened to my Clevo ring gear....

Then I tried the TPS and set that up but the values are the wrong way around  for some reason ... wide open is low voltage and closed is hig voltage. .. (not sure if it will work that way around or not will look more into it tonight.

 

When I set up tps on my link the values were round the wrong way as well but I think it doesn't matter as long as it has a range from 0 - 100 up or down. 

That was an after market ecu tho.. Could be different for oem.

and I actually have mates that aren't into cars....( fuck I know....strange ay)..

 

I feel your pain.. None of my close friends are particularly into to cars (not like me anyway) I find myself being asked advice on which car to buy and if it doesn't like up with their thinking they go their way anyway, latest was should I buy a v8 disco or a v6 prado.. Obvs the prado for a long list of reasons 1st one being the the disco is British..

Nek minute what's on the street? A fucken disco!? 

Was very cheap to so I'll give him that but.. Ygwypf.
