Perfect, thank you, should help a bit.

We get all sorts of mongrels coming out of Africa or Asia and some driven over from Aus, but odd to have a left hooker here that isn't from the US. It may have come from Europe. The style of VIN plate is quite common for jap imports, but the Frame info is really odd, the only references I...

Thanks Dan, that helps a lot. Would you have a clue as to the Model number? Will help to pin it down on Microcat

Will do.

The plate looks similar to a lot we see from around the world and not really bothered whether riveted or bolted - having a plate there is a good start :)

The BJ40-035351 typed on the plate as the Model

Hi, I am trying to pin down the identity of a left hand drive BJ40 that we have in the shop. I cannot find any reference to the Unit. 140 or N-7397 on the ID plate in the engine bay and there aren't any other plates on the car. Any pointers? Thanks

I suspected that might be the case. We have a few firms offering custom kits for the diesels over here that are in the majority and then we have localised custom build shops, but they want an arm and a leg for making one up.

Some muppet thought that the silencers were CATs so have cut from infront of the sensors to behind the silencers, so need the two sections pre-silencers, the silencers and the section behind and from memory I think the main box is leaking as well, hence looking for a complete system.

Thanks. We have access to the full Toyota parts system and a number of the key components are no longer available from Toyota or the likes of Partsouq, Amayama, Ebay, etc. This is the system that should be on the car....

There is a list of standard items that need changing from the side lights, side repeaters, beam direction and rear fog light otherwise the rest is pretty straight forward. We are just dealing with one now if you need specific advice.

We have a US spec 12/1992 FZJ80 here in the UK that has the exhaust with the twin manifolds, sensors and initial silencers and are struggling to find a replacement exhaust system. Some muppet has cut the silencers out thinking they were catalytic convertors and the rest of the system isn't in...

I had been told Terrain Tamer could supply, but they no longer had stock. I'll look up those other people otherwise we are going to have to line the cylinders

We are in the process of rebuilding a 2H engine from a bit of a mongrel 40 series that came out of Africa and understood our supplier (largest after market supplier in Aus) could supply +1mm oversized pistons so we had the block bored out to +1mm whilst waiting for the parts to arrive. It now...

OK, thanks everyone. It wasn't availabe on UK models, but have managed to find it on the US parts list and the clips are still available from Toyota so ordered up. Many thanks.
