WTB: 3lt turbo diesel hilux 4x4
 

Hey guys I'm looking for a hilux I want a 3lt turbo diesel 4x4 and probly between 2000 and 04 (before the new shape) can't afford a d4d unless it's in my price range

Was looking for a 04 space cab manual but willing to consider any 3lt td 4x4 hilux so let me know what you have or u know of for around 10-15k

Cheers
Damo.

would you be interested in a hilux surf? but its 1993 done under 130 000 genuine km's. burgundy colour, recaro seats, sunroof, hard/soft suspension, 5 zigen exhaust

Does it have the 3.0 TD engine, or the 2.4 TD red_dragon?

3 mate

Can you email me on [email]damianclaffey@iinet.net.au[/email] with pics and some more details cheers mate

Damo going from fast to slow then???:p

look at it as 'low to lifted' rather than fast to slow.

red-dragon's car sounds like a winner Clamo

looks like that but im sure its the SSG badge. Has the recaro, sunroof, adjustable hard soft suspention, AUTO, long range fuel tank, turbo timer, 5 Zigen exhaust, kumo tyres, safari snorkal, should have a k and n filter too. less that 130 000 genuine km. Pretty sure its less than that even but have to check with my uncle.

For those that PM, i will let damo see car first, then i will put a for sale thread up if he doesn't buy it. also has a aftermarket FMIC

at least when the 3ltr diesel shiits its self, he can easly bolt a 1UZFE toyota v8 into it.

thats cool, but it would probably be a while before the surf shits itself :)

easily.... for about $10k!

But that's my plan when my 3.0TD goes :P

Well let's not talk about engine swaps n things I just want sompthing that is reliable and won't need to cost me much mechanicaly

Yes farming it out

[QUOTE=damo;526295]Well let's not talk about engine swaps n things I just want sompthing that is reliable and won't need to cost me much mechanicaly[/QUOTE]

Just get a gas test done on the cooling system before you buy. 3ltrs are quite good providing they run the Toyota factory red long life coolent.

Thats what it runs on :)

Damo, it's an auto...

How much would it cost to do a 5spd cruiser or hilux manual conversion :p

Buy an 80

80 are big n chunky n would want a turbo diesel but I think they are pricey went they?

autos are very good & the best for the sand

You selling your 80 Matt ?

Nothing wrong with an auto 4x4... I know plenty of people with them... You'll be fine Damo!

considering it Neil, I bought it as a tow car for the GX, broke the GX and now i have a work ute... it spends most of its time gathering dust and costing me insurance

If I recall that was a good rig. The 80ies are a extreamly good machine & in the past the ones I have had for work never let me down. Be very mindfull if you have a good 80 it would be hard to replace as good ones are hard to find these days. They hold there value very well.

talk about thread hijack!

yep, now lets sell Matts 80

You want a manual ute yeah Damo?
Buy matts 80, and cut it.

Yeah I'm a bit loathe to sell it, only 280k on it.

er yeah. cough. yeah damo, buy a car.

Had my '94 3L manual Surf for years now as a Boat/Jet-ski Tow car and a Daily+Bush Basher.

[U]Confession time![/U]

-Only changed oil/filter once in 55,000kms.
-Hardly ever wash after the beach or dunking in water.

Thing is, I bought this car with no intention to spend a cent on her unless absolutely necessary - and I haven't.

Nobody I know likes or respects a Hilux Surf. WHY?

They are dirt cheap and abundant. The parts are so easy to get!

The car is a mix of a Hilux and a Prado.
The 3L engine is the same as in a Prado - a 1KZ-TE (without an intercooler.)
The later Surfs even have a Prado chassis with a Hilux driveline.

BUT THEY ARE SO SO CHEAP. I want to buy a Prado or Landcruiser but not until this dies (If ever)

I love the creature comforts and luxury and they love the sand. Mine even has a Japanese air purifier on the roof inside. They are very torquey (but slowish) and a dream to drive. Good on fuel.

To be Honest I could of spent way more than twice as much on an early Australian Prado to have pretty much a similar if not better car (love the sunroof and back window and overall Hilux look).

I believe they are a highly undervalued car for people looking for something DIRT CHEAP and reliable and parts are either Hilux or Prado(Available everywhere).

Hilux Surf owners are often tight with the money.
For years I worked in the 4WD industry and we never sold anything to Surf owners, they wasted hours of our time and never bought anything.

^^ And they cry about their $8k injector pumps when they die.

And Google "cracked Toyota 1KZTE diesel heads" Before you consider buying one.

Your saying that injector pumps are $8000? Or is that a typo?

That is correct $8k
