They aren't easy to find that's for sure.

I doubt there will be any more 1GGTE half cuts coming into Australia any more, importers just aren't interested in them.

One of the other yards mine intertrades with has a W56 box which I'm tossing up getting. Its a box from an RZN149 Hilux (later model) which differs from the W58 because its got extra low 1st & 2nd gears for load pulling. I'm not sure if I want to spend the coin though. We'll see.

damn you and all your skillz

I've got my heavy duty tow bar now


I've cleaned the 1GGTE up now ready for installation, I just need to put in all new seals and its all about ready to go in (bar the engine mounts which I'm still sorting out).

Luckily for me also it came with a near new clutch in it too. I had a good look at the W58 it came with also and it has silicone sealant on the joins so clearly its been apart before. I question why though seeing as its only got 100,333km's on it. But I guess I'll never really know.

I have also ordered an RZN149 W56 box, I should get it this weekend.

I've also arranged the sale of the 22R so things are falling into place.

[86TRD]

awesome , cant wait to see this finished.

[Golberg]

So then there was no more 22R

[Golberg]

Well progress has been made!

I pulled out the old G52 which you can see in the above photo, as it turned out its even got a complementary hole in the side of the bell housing. The other thing I noticed is that somehow a tooth has been broken off the 22R flywheel which perhaps explains the occasional disinterest in cranking the ute had. So all in all I'm glad to be rid of both the 22R and the G52.

Anyhow I went about test fitting the 1GGTE using GA61 mounts and as expected the drag link fouls the sump, no big deal just give it a bit of hammering. What I hadn't planned for though was the handbrake pulley (that little thing sticking out of the firewall below the clutch master) getting in the way of the rear turbo inlet. Funnily enough also the clutch master fouls too. Luckily though thanks to a member on Toymods I was alerted to the fact that VZN130 4runners (V6 ones) actually run an internal pulley on the handbrake cable so its not there on the firewall at all. So I had a look into a 4runner and sure enough he was right, not only that but they also have an internal clutch master and a remote reservoir. Bam problem solved!

I think its a fitting time to start up a to do list also:


There is more, but I'll update it as I go.
