^^^possibly - it has silly big injectors (2200), wasn't warmed up and hadn't been started in ~10days. This was my intially thought and i'm hoping it's this.

Plug's and coils are good - i wouldn't expect all six coils to fail simultaneously.

I'm going to go though all the relays, fuses, wiring etc either this arvo or tomorrow and see if i can find anything.

Mine has 2000's but doesnt have a proper tune yet.... Have had a failed start once or twice but if yours is tuned you shouldnt have the issue....

It's really only had a basic tune - but, your right it should still be running correctly. I'm going back to the tuner on Friday afternoon to check some things, so i'll get him to make sure the cold start map is right.

I'd say that's your issue.

They are big ass injectors. Even if the cranking enrichment is a little bit out, it's going to be dumping fuel.

Simple fix. Let it warm before turning it off, just a couple of mins should do it.

Good to hear :)

You look to have the same traction issues as me.....

Would not do anything silly on the streets man! Tracy is not to be messed with!

And yeah traction is not something available in the first couple of gears!

Has anyone had a diff centre put in there housing done by someone locally that they would recommend?

I was looking at possibly taking it to difftrans unless someone can recommend a different workshop

There's reportedly a gearbox/diff place in Steel river that's meant to be top notch - worked on quite a few high end cars. (name eludes me sorry)

Otherwise i higly recommend from first hand experience Award gearbox & Diff in Sydney - Terry and Trish will look after you and are fairly competitively priced.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
