Ek is opsoek na 'n backup light switch. Dis die skakelaar wat op die gearbox sit wat sluit as jy die motor in tru rat sit. Die stealers wil R1000+ hê vir die skakelaar. Hulle is gek. Het iemand dalk ene wat van 'n scrapped gearbox af kom? Die 2.7, 3.0D en KZTE het almal dieselfde switch tog is dit v...

Did a powerflow free flow exhaust upgrade on last week Friday. Turbo spins up much sooner, more power from 1500 rpm onwards. From the turbo to the flex joint I have a 61mm pipe. Seems it came out standard with that. From the flex joint to the back I now have a single powerflow box and a pipe going o...

Hoppy ek stem saam dat as 'n termostaat oop is, is hy oop. Die probleem wat ek het met die feit dat hy eers op 82 volledig oop maak is dat die termostaat op die koudste plek op die blok sit. Dus is die temp by silinder no 4 baie hoër as 82. Dalk al 90 plus. Dus sal die gemiddelde temp oor die hele s...

Toyota received the thermostat this morning. Hats off to them getting it this quickly. Upon inspection i found that it was not a 76 deg thermostat but a 71 deg one. So i still don't know where the 76 deg one comes from. But anyhow, it seems that all the 2004 Kz-te models came fitted with this one. :...

JohanW

So, head over to toyota in lunch to ask about a 76 deg thermostat. Intially they swear high and low that a kz-te only has one type of thermostat. A 82 deg one. So i tell them i took out a 76 deg one from my bakkie when i replaced it. They go silent... So we have a look on the computer. A 2000 model ...

Hi George, i have the same problem. Mine has torn out from the body, the previous owner tried to weld it back but the welds don’t last. Will post a photo when i find time.

Watching this thread closely.

JohanW

Now that you mention it Ian, I have also got a different radiator in mine. seems bigger. Its got a radiator king sticker on it. Will have to go look and see what size it is.

JohanW

Just an update, went up to Vanrhynsdorp and the maskamberg this past weekend and returned yesterday. The kz-te is definitely running hotter with the 82 deg thermostat. You can smell it running hotter too, especially after a hard run in LR 1st with difflock on up a 100m steep cross axle holed mountai...

248843km just checked this morning :cooldude: Replaced top gasket and skimmed the head end June. Gasket blew Dec 2012 only discovered it in middle Jun. Did the entire rebuild myself. Cost about R2500 parts and consumables wise. Pressure test on radiator is the easiest way to determine if the head ne...

I replaced my kz-te thermostat about a month ago with a genuine one from toyota. The one i was given by toyota was an 82 deg one. The one i took out was a 76 deg one... same brand (ntc i believe) My kzte head was replaced by the previous owner. The reason i replaced my thermostat due too it taking t...

My mechanic, a old man of 60 plus and missing 2 fingers and has probably been rebuilding engines of every type and make since he could hold a spanner, told me to use diesel to flush. I have used diesel to flush a 26 year old diesel generator this past july during a outreach in lesotho. It works quit...

Plak gou die link neer waar jy daardie toetse gedoen het asb. Ek kry dit nie, of ek soek verkeerd.

Dankie

Ek het jou cruiser vrydag laat middag in wellington se hoof straat daar by die kerk verby sien ry. (Was oppad na 'n dans by kleine valleij.) Byna my nek afgedraai. Pragtige masjien daardie. Eendag as ek groot is....

Ek het 2 van hulle op my self geboude buffer gemonteer net onder die bestaande hoof ligte. Ek ry 'n KZTE. Ek kan getuig dat hulle 'n barshou skyn. Die lig penetrasie is nie so ver nie. Omtrent net so diep soos die bestaande "brights" maar jy kry hope bruikbare lig voor jou. Ek het 'n stel ...

Jaco, ek bly in die Strand. Het 'n paar weke terug vir my 'n hele mikem suspension ingesit. Nuwe leafs en torsions. Ek ry ook 'n kzte. Die verskil is ongelooflik. Jy is welkom om te kom inloer en te kyk hoe lyk dinge.

Stuur daar 'n PM as jy wil.

Got my Kz on 228251km and in need of some TLC. Paid less than R100k for it.

Sit 'n D4D diff in. ABS behoort nie te veel van 'n kopseer te wees nie. Sover ek weet gaan jou track width bietjie weier wees. 'n Pel van my se kz loop met so 'n ene.

Myne is ook meganies. Kom net duskant die propshaft exit uit. Is 'n kabel wat in 'n omhulsel draai.

Hi Wayne, where did you get them?

Im looking for a pair to use as fog/driving lights mounted fairly low down.

I would stick with Garmin. Their map products are good. Well sort of... The biggest advantage of sticking with them is the online forums, like hilux 4x4 there are several really good ones online.

OOOMS can you please pm or mail me the details please. After nic lost his SFA im paranoid parking in stellenbosch. One of my friends nearly lost his golf last night. Seems affirmative shopping is increasing... Luckly my kzte is in villiersdorp getting an alu canopy :D so safe for now.

Hi Wayne I drive a KZ-TE, when i bought it it had 31' Yokohama Super Diggers on it. The tire were due for replacement and after consulting a lot of people i decided on 30' BF's. I still 6 months later dont regret that decision. The kz instantly livened up and drove much better with the 30's. You los...

the numberplate holder has some rivets holding it in place. The cable ties are to keep drunk students from stealing the number plates in Stellenbosch. Its not uncommon to find a street full of cars without number plates on a Sunday morning... I am busy drawing up plans for a full alu bush bar. So th...

JohanW

george, you could say that. I had a stuck bolt keeping the bullbar on. So we whipped out the grinder and got to work. Before we could start we needed some eye protection. The only ones we could fine that fitted him were some old diving goggles.

Problems encountered: Hiluxs dont cut easily. I dulled my father's 76mm hole saw on the first cutting attempt. I had to go buy a new one and some cutting fluid. The combination was awesome. it just slices thru metal in seconds. The bumper is a female dog to refit. I had to refit the bumper by myself...

A couple of weeks back i decided to take the leap and order a cirrius inter-cooler after all the positive responses about said cooler on the forum. Big thanks to Andre (Dodging) for the pics and writeup. This helped a lot in the installation and decision. :yahoo: So here goes. Costs involved: Front ...

JohanW

Yep, exhaust side is wet, black and covered in soot. Anyone that can recommend a good turbo place in s-west, strand, or cpt?

JohanW

Oil is on the exit side of the turbo. The side that sends pressurised air into the engine.

So my hilux a 2000 model kz-te 4x4, tintin, got a cooler this week. The guys from cirrus provided me with one. I will post a new thread on the install and performance gains. During the install, which i did myself, i found a large amount of oil in the original turbo exit / top inlet manifold. Oil is ...
