I like the color a lot. 
Engine: Not so much...
Welcome.

Welcome.
sir, i had an engine transplant, it is now a 1KZTE engine and not a 2LTE anymore .
Ouch. Not sure which one is a better one. Both have engine issues. Nonetheless, you should now call it a KZJ78.
That's a beautiful looking rig you've got there, congrats!
I bought an FJ75 a few weeks ago. No paperwork with it. It has a 3F engine, 5spd box and a steel grille. PO says he thinks it is 1985 or 86. Judging by the grille I'm guessing he's about right. It is a totally unmolested vehicle, and well looked after mechanically. Although I know the frame number from the plate on the fire wall I cannot find the stamped frame number on the frame. Can somebody please point me in the correct direction.
frame number should be outside of frame right behind the right front shock.
Thanks coldtaco. I'll scratch some more in that area. Lots of thick stuff which looks like tar on the frame.
Marine Blaster do you have a colour code for that rig? Looks good.
@ Cold Taco, thanks I found it.
Hey folks, just jumped into the 70 series fray. Took a gamble on a Japanese auction and got a nice little HZJ73. It's a 1990 with circa 230k KM. Very original with clean paint and a decent interior. Stock altimeter pod doesn't work, missing headunit, and a squeaky speedo cable, but otherwise a blast to tool around in and very clean mechanically. This will be my tester to see if the kids like camping/overlanding in a badass truck more than they do in a crossover... we'll see how that goes. Might have to move up to a 77 eventually for the extra doors and space.
Coming up is some rust repair (lower rails in front of rear tires) and installing rear seat belts. Other stuff in due time, won't be a full trail rig, but should be capable of hitting a lot of action in stock form. Have already been exploiting the "what did you do" post for all the ideas I'd ever want (and far more than I'd be able to afford!).

Good eyes Divemedic, that was my toy I brought back when we moved back from Japan last year. I'm as much a friend of tarmac as I am of gravel!
I was looking for the 77 but got impatient when I found the 73 on the block and saw how nice it looked. Love the idea of being able to remove the top too, but the interior isn't exactly all weather suitable.
We lived at Camp Zama for a 3 year tour, was a great time and we still miss the Japanese. How much longer are you out there? Bringing the 77 back with you?
Nissan made a bunch more gunmetal GTRs than the other colors, so it's a pretty common color these days. A better pic -
We were about an hour West of Tokyo. Decent location for weekend travel and such. Correct on the wheels. Dash is clean! I looked for one with a clean dash because I wasn't a fan of the "dash bubble". Also reupholstered the seats with black leather as the alcantara was on it's way out. The car is crazy clean to be honest-- feels, drives, smells like it should. Trying to figure out what to do with the 73's interior as it could use some freshening.
I never got to Kadena or Okinawa, pretty bummed about that, I hear it's beautiful and very different than the big island.
