Here is the receipt for the rebuilt engine and trans imported from Australia. You can see a larger version on my picasa site where you should be able to read all the text.
I assume since you are posting on my thread about this that you have paid for a 12ht/a440 rebuild and imported it from AUS and know how much that costs?
None of my calcs are including labor and I am not even recouping 50% of what I have into this in parts alone. Note It also comes with over...
And How much would they cost to import and transport to California? And once you did all that you would still have a vehicle with 250,000 miles on its drivetrain as opposed to what I am selling with a fresh professional rebuild on engine and trans.
Thanks to everyone discussing how much my truck is worth on my selling thread. That is really helpful ;)
Please do note those RHD imports generally have 200-300k+ in miles on them. This motor and trans were rebuilt professionally just 24k mi ago. That is a pretty huge difference even if you...
Just an update on this. I have received some offers but I am hoping for my asking price. ( I Have unearthed $25-30k in receipts on this rig, the engine/tranny alone cost $14k.)
I have updated the pics with some more interior and underside photos as requested and also added a video of...

1987 Turbo Diesel HJ-61 left hand drive white in Nor-Cal $18,000 or best offer
Well with the changes in family and job it is time to sell my turbo diesel HJ. This was originally an HJ60 that I imported myself from Canada and I have swapped the frame for a rust free California...
This fix worked great for me. Many thanks for the guy at Kaiser in SF for overhearing me looking for these solenoids on the phone and told me about this thread!
This is just an update that I decided to stay with with 4.88 axles. Right now the first in line is tag3 for the 4.11s I am in Svalbard for another week (which by the way is THE place to find tax-free left hand drive diesel Cruisers!)
Once I am back (and stopped crying because I cant import one...

I just got a Dakota Digital diesel multifunction gauge in. I really like their stuff. One little gauge gives me temp., EGT, and boost. The other great thing about these is that you can set warning limits on everything and have those warnings trigger a light or buzzer. But even without the...
My ac does seem to work with my old 24v stator but I will get the 12v one from Dave with my next order. Anyone know if I am hurting anything by running the old one ?
Stone I got my Dakota Digital interface in. Did you just put it in right behind the gauge, or did you fond another good place to...
Will send an email as well but posting here in case others want to join in on a group buy of the extended range gas tanks.... I need one that would fit an FJ62 (as that is now what my body and frame are) but it will be feeding my 12ht with diesel.
I think this is the one:
HJ / FJ 60/62
The...
I can second the opinion to drop the Optimas, they do NOT work well in a 24v cruiser (yes I tried them and they died in a year). My battery guy says that there is something about Toyotas that doesnt agree with them, he has seen the problem repeatedly.
I now have a solar converter that I am not...
As I am really thinking about doing a version of this, I would appreciate your honest opinion:
- Do you feel it produces more power?
- Do you really notice lower EGTs?
- Do you notice more lag?
Many thanks for sharing your project :cheers:
