Toyota LandCruiser Tuning — Gold Coast & Tweed
Custom Toyota LandCruiser tuning across the Gold Coast and Tweed. Whether you run a 200 Series tow vehicle, a new 300 Series or a 79 Series ute that works for a living, we build the map around your load — not a generic file.
Toyota LandCruiser Tuning done properly, the first time
The LandCruiser is the vehicle we see loaded more heavily than any other. Bar work, canopy, drawers, water, long-range tank, rooftop tent and a three-tonne van behind it — and a factory tune that was calibrated for a bare vehicle on smooth bitumen. Custom tuning is the single most effective change you can make to a loaded LandCruiser: torque arrives earlier, the transmission stops shuffling gears on hills, and exhaust gas temperatures come down where it matters, on long climbs at full weight.
What's Included
Everything covered in your toyota landcruiser tuning
200 Series Tuning
The 4.5L twin-turbo V8 in the 200 Series responds extremely well to a custom tune. From the factory it is deliberately soft off the bottom and conservative on fuelling, which shows up as a lazy feel with a van on the back and gear hunting on long grades. A properly written map delivers noticeably more torque from around 1,500rpm, sharper throttle response and a transmission that holds a gear instead of shuffling.
Owners towing at or near the limit usually see the biggest benefit — the vehicle sits at highway speed on climbs with less throttle, and it does that at lower exhaust gas temperatures than the factory calibration. Fuel figures typically improve slightly on the highway because the engine works less hard for the same job.
300 Series and 79 Series
The 300 Series 3.3L V6 twin-turbo is a strong engine with plenty of headroom, and tuning brings out a considerable amount of usable torque along with much crisper throttle response. It is a favourite among customers who tow heavy vans and want the engine to feel effortless rather than busy.
The 79 Series and its 76 and 78 Series siblings are working vehicles, and they get a working vehicle's tune: pulling power from low revs, clean loaded take-offs and reliability under sustained load. Whether it is a station ute, a mine-spec vehicle or a touring build, we tune it around the job.
Supporting Modifications and Reliability
A tune works best when the engine can breathe and stay cool. On heavily loaded LandCruisers we often recommend a 3-inch exhaust and an upgraded intercooler alongside the tune, and transmission cooling for vehicles towing at the upper end of their rating. Where airflow genuinely runs out, an upgraded turbo package is the next step.
We check the vehicle's mechanical health before tuning and monitor exhaust gas temperatures, boost and rail pressure throughout. If your LandCruiser needs a service or has a fuel system issue, we will sort that first — a tune should never be used to paper over a mechanical problem.
"Great Service. Cleanest workshop I've ever seen. Mick was straight-up, no BS and really helped me sort out a long term idle hunting issue, adjusted the fuelling and now my 80series is running like a dream. I'm heading back in a few weeks for injectors and a fuel pump rebuild. Highly recommend."
— Mitchel Smith
"Mick and the team at Coastal Diesel were great to deal with. The service and installing King suspension on my Isuzu NPS truck was top notch."
— Sam Schoeller
"Was looking around for a solid while for someone to do a front swivel hub rebuild on my 80 Series Land Cruiser. Contacted a young fella named Riley and he managed to book it in for me with close to no notice and got it all done on a Thursday afternoon! Would 100% recommend Coastal Diesel Solutions to anyone in need of professional, talented, fair-priced repairs. 5 stars without a doubt! Solid work team 👏"
— Andrew Bower
"Had issues with my car going into limp mode. Been to multiple mechanics, no one could fix it. One of my mates said to go to Coastal Diesel and they didn't disappoint — they did a great job!"
— Radharaman Beresford
"Highly recommend. Fixed an ongoing problem with a power issue related to the turbo and fuel delivery. So much care in his work, very knowledgeable without the BS. I'll be trusting all future services and mechanical issues to Coastal Diesel Solutions."
— Janaka Peterson

"Highly recommended. Dropped everything to sort a fuel issue we had with our 4WD whilst we were on holidays 1100 km from home."
— Lindsay Wallace
"Coastal Diesel did a major service and fuel system recondition to my newly restored 75 Cruiser. It runs like a dream and safe to say after a week at Fraser Island she has been put to the test. Nice to see decent workmanship is still around. Thanks to Mick and the team, I know where I'll be spending my money. Cheers!"
— Frank Waite
"Couldn't ask for better help. Mick is a top mechanic with a great personality. Don't bother wasting your money elsewhere!"
— Aaron Fairfull
"My 2013 diesel had been sick for a long time and many non-diesel mechanics charged a lot but couldn't fix it. Mick returned my call on his Christmas holidays and made time to check my car was safe to drive until he could book it in. He's kind, honest, reliable and genuinely professional — sent photos, kept me informed, and definitely won't rip you off. Turned out to be a cracked hose and solidified soot in the pipes. Now she purrs along with no smell and dramatically better fuel economy. If you have a diesel, you need a diesel specialist — and Mick is THE diesel specialist."
— Donna Dibben
"These guys installed a new engine in my Ford Transit when no Ford dealership would help. I'm now ready to take it back for its 1000 km check-up and can't find anything to complain about. Well done boys."
— Norm Morrow
