Glad you got a Diesel cruiser to review instead of a petrol.
Yeah
Yeah that's cool but my 94 1fz-fe powered (4.5 twin cam petrol/lpg) is still doing it's best at 562,000 km's, I absolutely love my fj80, as a teenager two of my uncles had these brand new and I fell in love with them, they were fantastic and still are......also they're just so cool 😎.
My 1994 land cruiser is still kicking with more than 850k in the odometer. I love the old guy. He’s my best friend.
850k???? That thing is RELIABLE
Awesome. Hope to have one some day.
Indeed
850,000 k's is pretty good, in fact no it's ungodly, happy to hear mate
@@videomaker8207 it's really not that surprising.
There's lots of old 80 series and patrols getting around with over a mil kms on the same unopened engine (1hd/td42) including the petrol and non turbo versions.
Regular maintenance and keeping power within safe limits is really the key.. All these guys running around with stupidly high boost on stock internals are asking for trouble.
The reason these 4wds last so long is because they were over engineered from the get go.. Pumping stupidly high boost through them brings you way closer to if not over the red line.
Throw on sensible mods and detune so that you're still over engineered for the power you're making and she'll keep running for a loooooong time.
My grandfather bought this Solid Car back in 1986,
He used to travel it from Sydney to new york mexico city in 5 years every weekend
Bloody top review of this sick 80 sure do hope more 4x4s make it onto the channel. Yep its normal to blow black smoke from old diesels when ya boot em. In my eyes the 80 was the peek for the Landcruisers if you wanted off road capability with some road comforts but if you want the tuffest 4x4s that crawl Australia you need to jump into the Nissan's patrols find a tuff GU now you tried out the 1HD-ft you should try and compare it to the mighty TD42 kettle
The 80 is better in many ways than the Nissan, the Nissan has stunted engines, only the front gearbox is good! The 80 has good native diesel engines 1hd-t and 1hd-ft!
had a diesel Sahara turbo in the Kimberley in ‘96.
cruz speed open road was 140k. off-road it was unstoppable.
was driven into the ground in three years.
I have a triple locked 1995 HDJ81 with the 1HD-FT as well and it does not currently smoke like that under load and I don't believe that's normal. Mine was registered as a commercial vehicle in Tokyo. Perhaps the injection pump was tuned on the lean side for that area. I have a Gturbo and PDI intercooler coming, so I imagine I'll need more fuel and it'll get smokey. These are awesome and very capable vehicles. I highly recommend an EGT and boost gauge to monitor your temps.
I actually bought this rig, fuel pump went on it a few months later. It no longer smokes like that.
Great review, thanks for the 0-100km/h test.
Appreciate it man
Can you review a 105 series gxl next
Nice tough looking rig. The colour even has that retro coolness to it ❤️ Tho being a JDM model it misses out on the 50L sub-tank fitted to LC80s sold in Australia. Overall tho, I'd be very happy to own it as is. 👍
'Oh what a feeling' just need the family of camels and some sand. Great review mate and nice 4by4, needs the five speed manual though me thinks. 👍🇦🇺🍻
Does anyone know what tail lights those are? they look so good and would be an awesome addition for my 80
Great car used them on forestry years back they where luxury in the bush and not a bad for you as well
Awesome car for the bush eh
"Lets go for a drive in the Toyota Land Cruiser!"
Have to agree, the 80 series is the best mate and when it came out was perfect for our land layout 😀
Sorry Mick but you’re wrong about that, if it’s had a heart transplant with a 1HD-FTE in it then maybe but until that day…
@@MR-hu1bx well mate it's the best to me in my opinion as the 300 is over priced and over rated , traded it for a Ram hahaha
The tires on the 80 series looked like they could go over some rocks
The 80 LC has a Toyota soul like no other... and i've had a lot of Toyota trucks over the years.
Proper 1HD-FT 24 valve is supposed to be less emission. Try cleaning the exhaust pipe. It drastically reduced smoke on mine.
My favorite VX I have one model 1990
You should buy it mate! The kids would love some adventures 👍
Ive owned mine for about 10 years. I've done many an off road adventure in it towing a fully loaded camper trailer. With almost 500K on the clock, it doesn't miss a beat. Mines a GXL non turbo Diesel 5 speed. I know I won't be parting with it as I think its perfect as a capable and extremely reliable 4WD.
I think yours is blowing way too much smoke. Probably needs new injectors and you would love the manual even more..
awesome work mate they really last forever if you treat em right
Are the diesels more reliable?
@@24hrstolive27 I believe so and far far more economical
Lots of smoke under load is normally a fuel injector issue.
I dnt know what car had it but the old style 4x4s had a floating ball like gauges for angle of the car with a pic of the car on it I loved watching those things driving down the road 😅
my gen one pajero has that
Toyota Bunderas had them and I think early 4runners too
Our MK Triton also has one. Mitsubishi sure was nice to include them.
Pretty sure these are the 12 valve engines which are great but the 100 and last of 4.2 79s have the 24 valve variant which are cruiser fanatics favourite!!! Factory turbo 80s are going for crazy money atm, pretty hard to find one for under $25k even with well over 400k on clock
This is a 24valve 😉 most desired engine so I’m told.. 👏
95 and up factory is the 24 valve, prior is the 12 valve. 100 got the electronic pump.
@@RossReviewsau can you review a 1HD-FTE 79 series cruiser they are dope
This man is uneducated... What R S said
@@Liamk49 yep your right haha have since learnt the later model 80s do come in 24 valve!!! I own a patrol so my opinions invalid anyway but I do love cruisers
I would love that if ross did a vs battle of the barrra turbo review this is what im imagining a FPV F6 vs a XR6T and see what the differences are. 👍
Good call actually! Will plan this
Thanks Ross I can’t wait for the video to come out soon lol thanks buddy 👍
If you're ever in Melbourne with any of your gear, I've got a 100 series diesel which pulls past p platers in v6 commodores on a roll! Should make an amusing review :)
Yeah but p platers don’t know how to drive so…..
@@benserkowski4663 You're not wrong 😄
Hi Johnny mate,if I was looking for one I'd buy that old girl,because it will probably outlast the new models & cheaper & where were you driving I was expecting to see a bloody zebra at any moment & the cloud cover is for escaping the cops because she's not fast haha,great vid once again bro.
Got one of the 1st 24 valve ones in the US! So jealous that you Aussies had this for the last 30 years!! (We NEVER got any diesels in the US... 0) but 25 import rule, means we finally can see what all the fuss is about... and OMG!! My review: th-cam.com/video/3rPZIusXPMs/w-d-xo.html
good stuff man! you will love it!
I just joined the club. 69k original miles. Hdj81 with the 1hdft. She’s a tx truck now. 😎
@@TheTbooth87 Nice! They are awesome!
@@TheTbooth87 how much do they run?
@@BoiseTDI well that’s difficult to answer - depends on mileage, quality, aftermarket items, etc…
nice chocolate bed liner paint job
😅 yeh not to my style
Was a bit to sooty the speedo would be out with those tyres . 90ks would be closer to 100 . . And the gxl’s were full time 4wd
The HDJ80 with the 1HD-FT is a fantastic vehicle... but this example isn't. Sooooo many red flags and warning signs to look out for.... Firstly that sort of paint job, the interior modifications scream someone doing modifications who didn't have a lot of funds (or taste) and that shows in the smoke coming from the exhaust. A properly tuned and well maintained 1HD-FT will blow very very little smoke and anyone who tells you otherwise doesn't really know how to tune them (That includes "sooty" from 4WD 24-7).
While they are really fantastic vehicles if you are planning on buying one budget in around $4000 to have the injectors and pump rebuilt Plus another $500 or so to replace all the gaskets/seals (unless the previous owner has proof of them being done).
Spot on. My 95 1hdft doesn’t blow soot. Injectors and new clutch, new 1-4 gears. All of that. 455K always starts goes everywhere
Now review one with a manual
How does this `beast` get passed the emission`s test in 2022 in any country? Proper old school 4x4.
Jdm much better appointed than what was sold here.
Hi Ross, I think it was a great review. I do not know much about Toyota 4 wheel drives, but I do know Toyota's built quality is excellent. The only thing that would bother me is that I would hate to be behind this car with all that black soot. That's carcinogenic stuff.
Yeah, this has likely been tuned for power and is running rich. Our family has an older diesel landcruiser and the only smoke it blows is oil lol. (It needs new piston rings)
Got a vx Sahara 1hdft and never going to sell it 👌
They are beasts eh
Everyone loves these. If you get it with a petrol be aware that they do drink a bit more than the diesel but either engine in it is reliable as long as you change the oil and make sure it gets good fuel. If the soot is black then it's Normal, if it's blue or Grey then you might have an issue with the piston rings and other things too.
It isn't anything to worry about, but they don't soot like that stock though.
Something not right with the smoke. Poss unburnt fuel or oil blowby. Needs a mann hummel catch can
Just a warning for everyone, 80 series JDM imports are 24 volt not 12 volt like in Australian delivered vehicles..
As a 80 series 1hdft jdm import owner the only thing that is 24 volt is the starter motor the rest of the truck is 12volt . There’s a relay that switches the two battery’s from parallel to series on the starting Circuit for the starter only .
@@dalefagan509 aren't the wiper motors 24 volt, and a few other bits and pieces?
Only thing that’s on the 24volt Circuit is the starter The solenoid for this is just behind the passenger side battery and in front of the abs pump and one cable directly to the starter
I drove Lc 80 when new, no smoke ! U need to replace all the filter
i did mention it to the dealer
These engine sounds like a big truck 👍
Its AL Bundy cool. 👍
Here’s a question boys
I have potential to get a very high km 1hdt 600kkm 80 or a 4.5l v8 troopy
I’m leaning toward the troopy but I haven’t had a look at it in person yet
The 80 has been in the farmers family since brand new and looks pretty noice also, the glacial blue paint or whatever is still in good nick too
How high is high k's?
get the 80 mate
The 1vd is a massive turd. Chews more fuel and oil than the 1hdft. Pain in the ass when u cook the starter motor and you will cook it. Nothing is easy to work on and if you dont work on it, it's not cheap for someone else to work on it.
Mine does 11 seconds. I'll do a video on my channel soon in what I did to get it all super
ok cool
I think it's low on boost, definitely over fuelled. I love my 94 fzj80, 562,000 km on the old champ, it's not fast but who cares when it's so cool and nostalgic 😊
Well not normal for that much soot. Some one has played with the fuel screw. It should cook the motor soon 👍
🥲🥲🥲
Yeah, somebody has messed with it. I think these have electronic injection though? I thought toyota switched in the 12-HT.
I'm not much of a 4x4 dude but you asked which is tops. ..wasn't that the original toyota hilux that just kept on going
hilux has never been as built as well as a cruiser
Yeah it is pretty typical for these to soot. One of the most famous 80s is nicknamed sooty, Shaun whales from the 4wd 24/7 TH-cam channel owns it
These wheels are gorgeous, what are they? I want them
If you find out, I'd love to know. I bought this rig, and the spare isn't matching... Fake beadlocks 😢
man i'm not gonna lie, the 80 series are pretty good. But..... The 79 series V8 turbo diesel just tops it!
I rather the hdj79s but your v8 is sounds mint
Haha no
@@addisonsmith7214 how bro it's epic
Hey! Thats my car 😂
Nice you got this
@RossReviewsau I did. If you couldn't tell, it's my profile picture. Me stranded on the side of the road because the 25mm spaces the previous owner had on had the studs snap and sent my wheel into a creek 🤣
I would drive a corolla there.unfair to the hdj put it on some real offroad.i love the hdj i have an 1990
was for sale cant get to crazy
Coal Rolling 4x4
Someone did turn up the fuel in that thing
think so eh
It's a different looking motor than. Australia has MATEY
Esa version no trae ni siquiera los 2 tanques de diesel, no es la de los 3 bloqueos de diferenciales con doble tanque y 3 triple aire ac , esa es sensilla
Are you guys selling
It’s sold already
Beter 4.2 diesel turbo its 12valves, i have 12valves, 1hdt, 1hdfte and 1fzj80, and 14b engines.... And 12valves 1hdt it beter nm torque more tan 600 wit 1.2bar turbo and pump recalibrated
Where is this guy from; sounds mostly American with a hint of an Aussie twang
Canadian born
Yes it’s called Rollin coal it’s normal
Never mind this. What's your new daily??? 😁
love ya reviews, but seems like the most sus 80 series for sale. fuck all kms even for an import.
idk 🤷♂️ I just get the car n try to review them 😅
thats a slug my 1hz na 80 series dose a 19 second 0-100
yeah its an auto thats why
Certainly not the best landcruiser made and not the best engine that comes in a landcruiser that title is held by the 100 series landcruiser with the 4.7ltr petrol v8
Agreed, that 2UZ V8 is just a gem 👌
Yes, but no solid axle right?
@ricomotorico5291 they don't need one IFS doesn't limit the capability only makes it better to drive
Very sketchy 4700kms, so many weird mods, paintjob looks terrible and already scraping off, suspesion and tyres dont look legal, aluminium side step is bent, tons of smoke bad tuning. Those kms are very sketchy tho, definitely something illegal going on there.
Yes, the fuel pump was on its way out. Not sure about the odometer side of things, however...
you sall no point comevto see you channal no more
