Wondering if someone may have the same problem, I have a 2008 VDJ79 Landcruiser ute and it is a bit down on power. Boost lines are all good, especially on the back of the intercooler. If I drive the car calmly it behaves normally maybe with a little bit of rev and boost hesitation between gear changes or take off. But If i boot my foot down quickly regardless of being in gear driving or in neutral parked up the car hesitates for a second and then starts to rev up but won't go over 2800rpm or 6-7 psi boost. Driving normally or soft acceleration will allow it to go full rpm and 12-14 psi of boost. If anyone has any ideas please let me know as the mechanics cannot fault the car

Hey guys, just wondering if someone could help me. My door ajar light in the dash is constantly on, pressing both of the courtesy switches in my doors do nothing. The courtesy light in the roof also stays on whether it is in the on or door position but goes off when in the off position. I have also tested for continuity in both switches and they check out fine, as well as all the fuses. I don't really know where to go from here. Any help would be appreciated

Greetings to one and all. Was curious to see if anyone else had a v8 Hilux and what sort of radiator they had in it. I have a 79 RN46 model with a Holden 308, standard 4 speed with a LN46 radiator and 16 inch thermo fan. Only problem is it gets hot when not running at speed, arouns 40 kph or under even with the fan. Was looking for alternatives to keep this one cool, as its 4WD capabilities are nil. It runs straight gas, goes like a dream on the road now it has a 3.58 centre in the back from 4.875, front diff not yet changed over. When time permits!!

Hi all, whats good?? Im planning on converting my 3dt kzn185 97 surf motor for a v8 soarer single turbo. im curious about the electrical side of things, obviously the v8 ecm/ecu will be replacing the surf's, though how will the 4wd function? or is that a separate circuit?? im playing around with ideas at this stage, hence why im asking for any insight here instead of reading the manual. Any help much appreciated motor lovers! keep safe...

Hi Guys, Interested in getting rid of my celsior but its difficult to find a buyer, so maybe parting it out is the way to go. The car is 100% complete and roadworthy at the moment. If someone was keen to buy it as is, they could have it for $3000 If not, I will part it. It has working bags with controller, 18x8 JDM work euroline copies. Interior is brown/creme (I have all the orig. brown pieces) It has a strong 1UZ-FE (4lt DOHC V8) that would be good if you were looking to do an engine conversion (hilux's are a common recipient of these) also have a A341E auto in good condition (often used in the conversion too) Bodywork is straight, and the front bar has the OEM lip on it (not in the best condition, but fixable). PM me if you are interested in any of the parts and make an offer. I would also be willing to swap the whole car for a toyota 4x4 (Hilux, Cruiser)
