thanks for all your comments
It's look like there is nothing big to worry about :-)
Is it possible to get English version of Factory Service Manual that covers also Japanese models (ie. HZJ81V) ?

I have not found it in archive so asking this quick question here.
are there any differences, between dimension of nuts, screws, etc used in HDJ80 (HZJ80) in USA versus Europe versus Japan (HDJ81V/HZJ81V) ? Anybody has the knowledge on that subject ?
a collegue has warned me, if I import...
thanks for the input
I have decided, not to do this swap. It's too complicated, and will destroy the "look" of the original Japanese car.
Will be trying to register the car in UK, keep it there for 12month and then reimport it to Poland (as within EU transfer) - hopefully I will be allowed...
hello Diesel Lovers :-)
quick question - does anybody know where in Europe I can make a swap from RHD to LHD for HZJ80 (to be exact HZJ81V - Japanese version of HZJ)? I am about to import such a beauty, but I cannot register RHD car in Poland.
I could of course register it as "oldmobile"...
Finally, I did not buy it :-(
it was hit seriously from front-right side
the guy who was selling it, repaired it, but the quality of repairs was poor. I could see curvature on front axle !
the brakes did not worked. Transmission was in need for repair. Engine was leaking. Car was very heavily...
Thanks Jan, Rosco and Ron :-)
I get the overall picture now. I will be examining suspension more carefully, after reading your comments.
Thanks Ron for a very pictures example :-)
I have take a look at your site, and found there were different cars on those trips (your hzj7x, hdj80...
hi,
I have already posted this in 80-series forum, but maybe here is a better place to ask :-)

maybe someone has been...

hi,
anybody has some experience with what is the influence of long time driving in deserts/sand environment on 1HZ engine and generally on series 80 ?
I am about to buy '91 HZJ 80, (1HZ engine) which was used (ie.) during Tunis Rally in Africa, and would like to know, if this kind...
three quick questions,
1) is it possible to fit into '91 HZJ80 front FF axle e-locking diff from later model ?
2) Is it possible to exchange rear axle from later model (>'94, with lockers) into '91 ?
3) can I put some aftermarket air-conditioning into '91 HZJ80 (1HZ engine)?
any...
good info - it confirms 9.5 are too skiny. So my choise of 10.5 ~ 11.5 should be ok. Especially when chains should be used more on ice than in deep snow.
I can understand You - choise between AT and MT is sometimes tough. But as one man said:
...if You plan to drive off-road, no matter if...
Hi everybody !
Does anybody used snow chains (like Diamond type - left picture) with 33'' or similar size Mud-Terrain type tires (like Firestone Destination MT or BFG MT)?
There is a warning next to that type of chains that "will not fit aggressive tread or square shoulder tread"...
Thanks Freg and Dave :cheers:
All Your comments are exactly what I was looking for.
That's exactly what I've done couple of day ago, and now I am trying to verifiy the existance of working diff lock and also the possibility of shipment to Poland. As it is a heavy part (I have found a weight...
