ive done the same thing mate, and i say to any budding diy mechanic out there, give it a go. as much as i created a few new swear words and used them often, it was a great learning curve, and not insanely hard to do either. and with the help of a few mates essentially had it done and dusted in a weekend....
good work rossco
Hi there
My names Russ, I'm from brisvegas, I'm 25 and I'm a diesel fitter. I am a pretty keen Toyota fan but just brought my first serious forbie and got a patrol. Its a Nissan gq 90 model with a td42 manual has done 555000 ks and iv done a compression test all at 430 psi loving it! But it wasn't the real deal has a bit of cancer and couple of big dints. So soon browsing eBay I picked up gq 1992 Ti with an auto tb42 with gas. So ill be doing some work to get 1 on the road. :biggrin: I would just like to know if I need to keep cluster and computer to keep auto has anyone done this? Or am I better of just going manual? Preference is auto but am not fussed if I have to drive a manual. Ill post some pics too of build thanks for the help in the last pages now that I'm a member te to throw some thanks around haha.
Also some issues with where to get flex plate?
Parts specialist can generally source one or remove it from the other motor and it could be a straight swap
Just tap it in just tappy tappy tappy
Thanks for advice going to start a thread on my build this weekend long weekend WOOHOO!!! And ill upload some pics of the trucks to try and find some history on them. Just like to say also this forum is awesome!
if you buy a 24volt motor you will need to change the injector pump shut of solenoid to a 12volt system , youll also need to change the alternator to a 12v type. iv just had my 24v pump rebuild and needed to get a 12v solenoid fitted as im using a 12v gq
well done .You made it look easy
well done looks sweet from the pics.
