Haha yep, old girls are long in the tooth.
Check it isn't something simple, my patrol did the same but turned out it was a $20 fuel cut solenoid

Will have to look at it next week. Diesel is cheap at least!Attachment 56176
If it is the seal where the throtle is it is like a 2 dollar part and a piece of piss to replace.
If it is the main drive shaft seal or any gasket you may as well pull it and do all the seals and fit a boost compensator for when you fit the turbo.

[QUOTE=gimp;516277]I have the same thing. Except mine works flawlessly. Wonder if you can get the vsv fixed. Also I think putting it in 4LO engages the tfer case even if the vacuum doesn't

Re the transfer case. I have the entier guts out of a vacume operated transfer case in a box with each part carefully sealed into a labeled zip loc bag. Keen to get it out of my garage if it's of any help. Will swap for bottle of single malt.
^^ I shall consider it, thanks
Finally got around to buying a Chinese primer pump for a 1pz off the internet, arrived and installed today, works as far as I can tell, fits perfect, $52

Has been blowing a lot of black smoke since I had the IP seal done, going to check my valve clearances, and if that doesn't fix it I'll have to take it to a diesel shop to get the IP or injectors looked at I guess? May have been smoking before but I never noticed it
Starts like magic after swapping the fuel filter primer, first crank after sitting for 8 days. Did spew a big spray of soot(?) out of the exhaust onto my garage wall though
Quite normalQuote:

Installed an ARB winchbar today and removed the factory PTO winch and front bumper. Looks good. Need to find an electric winch. The ARB bar came with extremely crap equipment for splicing the inbuilt indicators into the existing harness, and also 12v bulbs which have blown already (24v truck hah). Still need to remove the actual PTO unit from the transfer case too, but am putting this off as I suspect it will be messy

Personally I wouldn't remove the pto, they are great. Will it fit inside the ARB?
I like the how the skyline is virtually level with the tops of the doors in the first pics. Have always liked the Land Cruisers, we had (my dad) had a 1980 J40 which I think had a 4L I6? It was definitely diesel and I loved it. It was white in colour.
I'm with massive attack, I far prefer pto winch.
I would rebuild the pto myself ...tho it would probably fetch elec winch money in need of a rebuild condition on retardme

I'd have to agree with the boys, If the PTO winch runs fine keep it. far less to go wrong if you look after it.
It doesn't really run fine, the shaft spines/unis are stuffed. It doesn't fit any bullbars without $$ modifications and a winch for me is an emergency luxury so I don't use it heavily
I'd just take it off and fit an electric. You can always rebuild it and refit it
Plan is to fit an electric, and hope to never need to use it...
Only downside to having an electric winch sitting on the front exposed to the elements, not being used, is it still needs to be serviced. Moisture from river crossings, rain etc. can still get in.
If you are going down the road of 'in an emergency', have you considered a Tirfor style winch? man powered, it can be thrown in the back of the 4WD out of the way, out of sight of those with light fingers. Plus side is you can use it in any direction from your 4Wd as long as you have somewhere solid to attach it to. Use it on a mates truck, use it to lift that big red deer into a tree for butchering....
Downside is it is man powered, so take a mate.

TIRFOR hand winch. | Trade Me
Another option is a Hi Lift jack and a winch chain kit.
4WDbits 5 Meter Hand Winch Kit - Complete - with 60 inch Hi-Lift Jack
gimp looks like that Hi-Lift jack might come in handy.
That looks a lot cheaper than a winch!!
Yeah that's half why I keep the hi lift jack on the truck all the time - emergency backup winch...
Those tifor winches work but god they take ages to get anywhere, took me and a mate 6hours to get out of trouble using one. Only needed to travel about 250m max.
Electric winch will see ya right, and with wireless remote can be handy for one man operation. Winches are good for hanging deer, hanging tarps for teepee shelters, pulling out trees, pulling out cows from bogs etc. Come in handy quite a bit.
I use mine to pull trees, cows out of swamps, bales of silage off trailer, and most recently a car out of a drain on the way to the Toby shoot.Quote:

True enough. They're not a new design though, been around for decades. Just new condition.
Wheres the mud?

Inside valve cover, Toyoda and Daihatsu logos. Must've used the 3B in some Daihatsus?

Has it always smoked or just started doing it?Quote:

How bad is the smoke? It is an old school manual injection diesel and it should smoke lightly under full power,clouds of black smoke so thick people behind you cant see or breathe is another matter tho.
Bad smoking could be caused by restricted intake, worn/damaged injector nozzles or incorrect crack off pressures or if it has been like it since you got it?if so then most likely someone has adjusted max fuel for more power.
Its coming into summer and the air is less dense as it warms up, it makes a noticeable difference in power/smoke on old N/A diesels
Not knowing previous history I would.
Check/clean/replace air filter as required.
Go to a bigger pipe between those silicon fittings in the intake just in case that is restricting it.
Replace fuel filter (you did that already?)
Pull the injectors and get them serviced.
Check/clean gauze filter in pump if so fitted.
Then when everything has been serviced and is as it should be clime a hill where it is working hard at highish revs in 3rd, on a sunny day there should be just a slight haze behind you, clouds of heavy black smoke is bad if you still have this adjust max fuel down....your Idle speed will drop if lessening fuel and raise if increasing fuel....1/8th turn should be noticable 1/4 turn is heaps.
I never noticed it smoking until I had the IP seal done, since then it's pretty bad - in both warm and cold weather.Quote:

Valve clearances were the only other thing I could think of to check myself before taking it to someone to look at the injectors. I did notice that the idle is higher since the seal was done, so possibly the fuel was turned up? I'm getting noticeably worse economy than previously too
