Although mine is manual...

Engine management wise no but you don't need the swirl flaps, the EGR cooler etc. You can always buy new updated pistons and injectors to upgrade them and turbos can be customised whatever you like nowadays.

Ahh yes the manual Hdj101. Has the price of diesel HDJ100R'S ballooned that much in OZ? Anyway they don't come cruise control in manual form. Good luck finding one since only 894 were built between December 1998 to about January or May 2000 before they made the switch to the facelift car in August 2002 which completely dropped the option for a manual gearbox. Hope that helps

Hi there appreciate the comment 😀 The horsepower advertised is the same but it's something you have to experience in order to really appreciate the subtle differences. In terms of fuel economy the 5 speed auto is superior to the old 4 speed auto it's not even a contest. These honestly should be classified as different cars

Okay for both jdm it goes 4speed about 2100RPM 5 speed about 1800-1900RPM Both on 285/60R18

Thanks for that. Keep up the good work sir.

It depends on how much weight you are towing. Wouldn't reccomend towing something too big. Factory is about 3tons if not mistaken

@@TAI-lr5vr3.25 , obviously braked.

@@barbraabsalom4531 it's doable I think

depends on service history , if you get one from a “ diesel lover “ that’s had 5000k oil changes the engine should have good life left . All in all , factor in that over time expect to pay for some other major failure above 450000k , it might be the auto trans & in the 5 auto they are also a bit weak when it comes to power upgrades , a good reco box say from wholesale autos that’s beefed up with a nomad valve body & deep pan will set you back around 7k ish ( plus 23 week wait time ) or a genuine Toyota new about 10000k plus 1.5k nomad valve body plus deep pan 700 odd , plus temp gauge , then add install for box & gauge , not cheap but you only want to do it once , other things like alternator , harmonic balancer , shocks for the auto height control models like ours are dear as , although Toyota got them for us much cheaper than I could . We spent about 8k labour , plus parts , to get ours at 380000k up to standard ( We are fussy & stick to genuine parts wherever possible ) , the servicing included every fluid , DBA ultimate rotors with bendix pads , full auto trans , transfer , diffs , tie rod ends . Really , the car , in my opinion has got to be in really good condition , cosmetically , rust free & good general mechanically , otherwise if something expensive does let go & your facing a steep repair bill , your are more than likely going to get rid of it . Got to be committed to it , in the long term , as these are still not cheap for 18 to 26 year old vehicles & as good as they are with an fte , they are still old & do develop major problems , especially when not serviced regularly or correctly . So if you go in too deep , you may regret the decision & wish you had of bought a new Ute or dare I say it , a y62 patrol , the 100 still drives like a truck with a ride & nvh to match , where as , say the patrol drives like a luxury car with comparatively low nvh & bucket loads more simple petrol engined horsepower , horses for courses , whichever one you go with , try & get the one that lets you sleep better at night. 😉

@@TAI-lr5vrIt’s more than doable , these things are still as common as dog poop in Australia , with many V8’s & fte lc100’s still lapping the country towing huge vans , some with large gvm upgrades to allow them to not only tow the 3.5t legal limit here but to also accommodate the endless list of add on accessories like front & rear steel bars with wheel carriers , jerry cans , drawer systems , air bags & onboard compressors , 12volt & 240v inverter setups that allow the use of induction cooktops & even coffee makers , all of which come with an ever increasing weight penalty & must pass rigorous & expensive privately hired engineer approvals to tick off the car as legal to tow & also carry weights in excess of what Toyota or other manufacturers ever designed the vehicle for . Some of the things needed to pass may include bigger braking systems , chassis modifications , strength & load increased suspension components among other stuff . It’s interesting your favourite lc100 is probably now the one most despised in Australia by hardcore four wheel drivers , the torsion bar independent front end is considered a big weak point , with bugger all flex in the suspension compared to a solid axle with lifts to allow for long suspension travel & “ big flex” allowing the cruiser to negotiate some of the toughest tracks in the country with mostly great success . The fte here is also widely regarded as the best Diesel engine to be released in the Australian market , so popular in fact that it gets swapped into other manufacturers cars like the g series patrols & funnily enough the earlier solid axle lc100’s & 80 series cruisers , with many buying fz105’s & not only doing a fte conversion but many a transmission conversion from auto to manual . The fte is so popular a workhorse & considered such an understressed engine the power upgrades including big to huge turbo upgrades , injector pump & injector upgrades & tuning chips ( the ecu cannot be tapped ) added for light to insane power & torque increases where the 4 or 5 speed auto would be destroyed very quickly by outputs of engine power up to 400hp & over 1000nm of torque . Pundits will pay upwards of $15000 aussie , to buy a good or low Kim fte just to start this conversion process , the fte is also favoured for these swaps over the later model & far more complex VDJ v8 diesels that are over complicated with complex induction systems , emissions crap , dpf’s etc , with the old fte achieving similar or even higher outputs than its later v8 cousins . I enjoyed your content , very informative , by the way , I wish my 2006 hdj100 5 auto Sahara ( which was top of landcruiser tree here ) came with steering wheel control buttons like the JDM versions you highlighted.

Yes. Any car built after August 2002 will be a 5 speed auto. It's totally worth it just for the quicker response of the VGT and 5th gear. You'd be able to do 62mph at about 1900RPM so 2000rpm should mean you can do 70mph

​@@TAI-lr5vrthank you! Appreciate your work, very informative 👍

Glad you enjoy it

Hi there. Yes it is absolutely worth upgrade. The code for both is the same. The extra overdrive ratio and smoother engine is leaps and bounds better than the old 4spd gen cars

@@TAI-lr5vr Thanks dude. Will look for a nice one. Think in Kota Kinabalu have more choices. I mite even be ok to fly there and buy to drive back to Kuching. If you see one available would you mind letting me know?

@@sonnyling3830 happy to help. You can message on Instagram and I might be able to help you

Thanks. Been busy thru 2023 and 2024 so only now do I have time to do this 😉

Thanks for watching!

I think you can get the 2003 VNT FTE VX limited thru the SEV program?

Or you could look into British Amazon for personal import. It's the Sahara with the JDM trickery

I've yet to delve into shorts yet. Might delve into it soon

Coming next. Turbo diesel vs Petrol V8

Sorry for the lack of updates 🙏 I will try to do more than one video for the year. I've got a few plans

Hey there, unfortunately I can't give you the answer to your question as I don't have access to the people responsible who designed this engine

I do agree the vinyl flooring is easier to manage for a 4wd. I prefer the 105's setup as it's more upscale per say

Technically we're both wrong on this. The track width of a 105 is a wee bit wider than the 70 series 5 stud axle. By only a couple of millimeters if I'm honest as based on some 79's which have had the 105 axles swapped they are wider in width

@@TAI-lr5vr that's very true!

I have been in contact with wink 4x4 in Holland so that might actually happen
