Try maccas... Lol

Check websites of retailers you want to apply for. Most don't use seek, they accept applications through their websites. That's how I got a job at Supercheap Auto :)

thanks, whats involved in working at supercheap?

Yeah. The gearbox/driveshaft etc. are all stock still (1990 ADM) so it looks like the best thing to do is buy a late model turbo halfcut and take the gearbox/diff off that.

Other than that the mechanic said it was a very healthy car, very straight body etc.

He couldn't believe the price I got it for :blink:

or use the camry gearset I posted earlier

you want to buy a halfcut to take the gearbox out? :blink:

bahaha.

Nah, I need the diff and all that shit too. Then sell off the rest of the halfcut and get most of the money back.

It's the best way to do it IMO.

Find me a gen 3 gearbox, driveshaft and diff then :( I bet you won't be able to. A halfcut is like $2500 and I can sell the engine alone for like $2000.

no, what you will end up with is a halfcut sitting in your garage for a bit over a year while cheap fuckers vulture shit off you. Most nga's who you think want to swap an engine will also want the gearbox and drivetrain to go with it, just like you do.

But hey, if you wanna sink 2.5k and not see the 2k you intend to make back in your pocket for a while then go nuts. If I were you, I'd spend a little extra and grab just the stuff you need.

Just sayin from experience.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
