Cheers for the imput guys. At the moment though I can't afford to do barely anything, so I think I might just try and pick up that 21R from tardme for simplicity and cheapness. No reason why 21R won't bolt into place of 21R-U? Also, seller is willing to drop motor in hamilton, anyone keen to look after it till I can get up? Also, box appears to have steel section, if that helps.

Interesting. I would also be happy with a non-shit R series. 22R's I've heard are good but all are hard to find? Opinions on http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Car-parts-accessories/Toyota/Engines/auction-220507092.htm Lux currently has 21R-U also, It eats dick and the emissions carb makes me violent. And nah don't know him. Was aiming more towards something not needing cert just yet preferably, just to get it running in a usable state Had considered L series also, Heard good things about whatever the 2.8 is?

I have no idea what box is in it, Chassis tag does not specify? A 4spd 4wd one... But yes, those are things I need to try and work out, would the mounts be in the right places, would bellhousing bolt up, Clutch? The rest I can probably work out And yeah.... I dislike them a bit too, but its almost within my pricerange, which = fuck all.

So I've been pondering over what I could possibly put into the Hilux sometime, and thought if I could pick one up cheap enough, the old 3.8 Commodore V6 wouldn't be a 100% bad choice, and has been done lots already. And it just so happens a Manual VN has come up at the local auctions, Not expected to go for much more than $500 (I suspect its got fucked heads but it doesn't hurt to get the ball rolling) Now I keep being told by old cunts that they just 'bolt' in, and I find it very hard to believe. The Hilux in question is a 4wd RN46 What could I expect to need to do? Other than the obvious computer wiring & fuel system.

I have no qualms with whakatane location. Not sure where we'd eat if that was to be part of the thing.

Fark stink deal man.

just sikaflex it up.

Love it man. Looks meeean as fuck

Haha, don't give up just yet man. Giz a text I'll come round and we'll do a compression test.

Poor bluey eh. Does anyone know if RB30's are interference motors?

loflo's sounds like a plan

Next step. How to find Burgerfuel in rotorua?

I can probably make it over by 6:30.

cable tie some those 13' hubcaps of tortrons on. Doesn't matter if they're not centred. they'll be all up and down and fucking with peoples heads while boosting. And maybe self destruct and fuck with peoples heads/eyes/any soft bits. hmm

i'm keen for burgrafuel 21st seems doable

+3 you gonna get some of those wooden beaded seatcovers? Or sheepskin? Louvers and flags on the aerials. I'm getting giddy thinking about the possibilities.

I could come over possibly if given a bit of warning. Not sure how often though.
