yeah, too wide. engine mounts are the easiest part.

gearbox is the problem. being a faily new motor there is nill in australia. ebay heaps. but no one wants to ship to australia.

yeah pics sucked. same camera used for the engine.... weird... cossie pistons. 8.8:1 comp. the rods are good. 480gms and rated to a conservative 200hp each. i wanted to get the wieghts close to stock to avoid and posible balance issues.

f**king gearbox shit.. if i could find a manufacturer that does custom reverse rotation front diff gears id just use my ppg..

Google search for "usa australia freight" and you'll get heaps of results of companies that accept your mail (for a fee) then send it out of the country to you

well the front diff is a 48:13 so 3.69:1 non turbo zed is 3.7 aswell. so the rear diff isnt an issue. just a gearbox.

i do need a hr auto bell housing wich is hard to find aswell. but brand new from us its 400aud + freight.

the ecu is a hurdle aswell. haltech rekon there ps 2000 will do i. (dont have the stock ecu no will i) but they have no idea about the "e-vtc" magnetic exhaust vtc cam. nor does link. i really want to use the variable exhaust timing as it will work really well with a turbo.

looking at "handbreaks" r35 build. my motor has identical engine mountings and front diff.

not going awd. engine will have to be to far forward. mayby in the future when its all running and im sick of no traction..

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
