Hello all,
I have an opportunity to potentially get a 105 series to US now it's 25 years old. I have looked around and googled, can't find much 100% certain information.
The 105 will be from Australia. It only came with 1HZ as diesel there, and the auto R151 not strong enough when boosted. So I am looking at manual transmission.
1. What model of 5 speed manual transmission is HZJ105 in Australia, how much power and torque can it handle, is it a better option than auto?
2. Is there axle the same as 80 series? 5 lug in 105 vs 6 lug in 80. Do they come with factory front and rear lockers in Australia market?
3. Any other general areas I should be looking for / pay attention to when searching for the right car, rust of course, but other than that? 98/99 model years to stay within 25 year rule.
4. First time importing, I know it's going to be a lot of work, if someone has any experience, please let me know, I'd love to know more about the whole process than what google is spitting out.
Thanks in advance!
