cletus Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Also I drove a 1kz converted hilux last week and first gear was a waste of time so I guess if you went with a manwell you would benefit from tall diff gears or donk spec wheels 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I suspect auto is going to be best. It is mainly going to be a cruiser. A cruiser that can hopefully swing diesel O's. Because the other side of the coin is running a G box behind a 1kz probably isn't the greatest given the correct manual is an R. Also re auto controller, have been trying to figure out what cars had separate ecu for autos. My only concern here is shift points might be all up the shit.....

Testament Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 you can use a megasquirt/microsquirt unit as a standalone auto controller instead of ecu. tis one option, althought I am sure there are others. another one is XJ jeeps have a separate controller also, and the jeep AW4 is actually just an a340. Maybe ZJ Grand Cherokees as well but not certain. would look for 1992-1996 obd1 spec more likely to be separate tcu box and simpler setup. what supplies the factory crown speedo signal? must be something on the gearbox output shaft already surely? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighLUX Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Wonder what auto ran behind a 1KZ in a 2wd granvia van? Might be mechanical kickdown and a simple loom/ecu being commercial spec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris r Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 On some of my older shitters the speed meter has a tiny reed switch in the back for the ecu speed signal. Possibly your wagon dash has that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Granvias are cheaper for parts than super customs. Anyway sounds like steelies might be keen to seal my fate on this anyway. Auto it is. Probably. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighLUX Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Battery in key fob for the lexus was flat so replaced it, lights on the key work when buttons are pushed but cars not responding. Does it need to be reprogrammed to the car? And can I do it myself ? Any ideas @AllTorque? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTorque Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 You have a lexus? What year? Actual key or push button start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighLUX Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Yeah 99 gs300. Normal key Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTorque Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Sometimes they need to be recoded if the battery has been flat for a while. Try this.. start with drivers door open, key out of ignition. Key in, key out two times. Close open door two times. Key in, out 1time. Close, open door two times key in, close door, key on, key off, key out, push both buttons for 3 secs, push one button for 3 secs. Doors should lock/unlock. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighLUX Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Tried it a couple of times but no dice. Do you push the lock unlock buttons then the lock button and is key on start the car or just dash lights on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTorque Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Key on, Do not start. Try pushing both buttons for 3 secs, then alternate lock/unlock. This is may not be the correct procedure for your car, but is common for most toyotas if that era. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kws Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Just as a HUGE FYI to anyone with EFI hose, or looking to buy it, DO NOT BUY hose with the printing in the photo on it. Its known to fail early. If you have it, CHECK it. Mine was 10 months old and badly cracking. The above company has issued a recall on all the cars in the UK that they fitted that hose to because of it. And as such im going to have to replace all the fuel hose in my engine bay again. Cunts. Wheres the best place in Welly to buy a known brand EFI hose (Goodyear, Cohline, Gates etc)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 repco. but fuck me. it is not cheap. at. all. even at trade. if you find a good source please let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kws Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Looks like Supershit auto does Codan hose, which seems to be a reputable brand. http://www.supercheapauto.co.nz/Product/RSP-EFI-Fuel-Hose-5-16-Per-Metre/519165 About $15/M trade though. Looking around, thats not actually all that bad. Some Dayco stuff is crack money. Will shoot in there tomorrow and see if they have it in stock. Pissed off i cant get 7.6mm locally, but 8mm will have to do. Rang around ages ago, and no one in welly did 7.6mm (or even heard of it), hence i went to a UK supplier, and that turned to shit. Im still furious i have to do all my injector hoses again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
