Madness, love the van and the conversion. good to see another south aussie on the forum. mildrens is right next to my work, if i'd know it was on the dyno i would have loved to sneeked a look! I did hear a sweet v8 belting around the block a couple weeks ago, i thought it may have been an X5...

Exactly what i was after for my donk before i try to squeeze it into the EJ Wagon! my bro is convieniently located in Canberra too. Could be a project for him as he's planning a trip back to Adel soon. Can anyone give a heads up on specific items to round up? cheers Drew

It sold quick! I saw it on ebay while i was at work, then logged onto it later on and it was already sold! well done!

haha, yeah i hear ya, no offence taken. im not afraid to get dirty, and have quite a few mates in the metal trade who can give me hints and tips to get me started with the metal work. I know there is gunna be custom fab, but i will also be utilising some off the shelf stuff for the conversion...

not sure if my yr 9 metal work class skills extend quite that far! plus it must satisfy the engineer! let me loose with a soldering iron and the wiring and that is my domain (electronics techo by trade) but i was quite into my lego and mechano when i was a kid, so im happy to bang it all...

ahh, scrap the R31 diff idea. i fogot the EJ / EH tranny tunnel is offset to one side, so ill have to get something cut and shut anyway. So does your column shift work ok with the toyota trans?

a good tip on the R31 diff width! I'll check it out. cheers Drew

Nick, love the project, looks tough! question regarding your diff ratio...... what rpm is it sitting on at 100km/h with the 3.7 ratio? I've got a diff from a VS ecotec which will be getting cut and shut to suit my EJ Wagon. Will run the standard commo 3.08 open wheeler to begin with and I...

Gday Glenn, so is it business as usual? Im currently doing research on a 1UZ conversion into my EJ Wagon. trying to round up a crossmember and rack for change over purposes now. cheers Drew
