Toyota's Interchangable Oddities.... (TIO#)

FJ20 Landcruiser alternator bolts to 3T GTE. Needs different plug and pulley.

hey guys i read a quote that ra65 springs are the same as rt142. I have heard this is true what else in the suspension department would be excatly the same . shocks swaybars etc??/ thanks heaps

[YelloRolla]

just remebered - they 18R/18RG lower timing chain is exactly the same as a Holden 253/308 chain. These are available from every Tom, DIck or Robbo's spare parts store.

upper control arms of a celesior are not the same as the LS400

complete rear axle of a sprinter will bolt straight in a ke70/ ae71

[MR 1JZ]

upper control arms of a celesior are not the same as the LS400

thats funny...I thought celsiors and LS400's were IDENTICAL cars...

are you sure you dont mean there is a difference in the upper control arms for Airbag and Non-Airbag models?

that would be more likely but still unlikely...

Contrary to popular belief not ALL T-18s had the 20 spline output shaft on the t50 gearbox. the 1983 model had a 22 spline outputshaft with 2 "gear positing switches" for various 3TC emissions stuff

I can confirm this, I have a T50 that was pulled out of an imported TE71 (2TGEU) and the spline will not match the TA22 driveshaft.

I'm surprised no ones mentioned this yet but:

18RG top timing chain tensioners can be use in 2TGs

TE71 Pitman Arms will fit a TA22 (just)

TE71 wiper motor fits a TA22 - has a few extra wires (intermitent ?)

Things that didn't work:

RA23 Tie rod sleeves don't fit TA22, in-fact nothing does and you can't buy them anymore. Whatever you do, be nice to your tie rods.

All aftermarket pitman arms (that I've tried to fit) for a TA22 are in fact for RA2X and will not fit (will hit your cross member).

maybe youe right about non-airbag model
we had a celsior in our workshop and they were different.
found it very hard to find parts for a celsior.

Some more inter-model changes for you.
MZ10/11 rear stub axles and discs/calipers are interchangeable with MX73, therefore making an instant brake upgrade for the soarer as the MX73 rear discs are vented and the brake pads are about 20% larger. MX 73 rear pads will also fit into MZ20 brakes. Also early cressida (MX3*)idler arms can be replaced with T18 ones.

1JZ - 2JZ and 3SG

all share the same piston rings

When you refer to tie rod sleeves do you mean tie rod ends?

[edgar_raphael]

My mate in Malaysia did this, converted the 4AGZE into 20V-4AGTE

Block is still from the old 4AGZE and replaced the head with a 20SVT item.

Haven't read the whole thread, but RA60 rotors and calipers BOLT ON to an ST141... $35.00 for a set of calipers with pads and near-new slotted rotors from a wrecker... not a bad buy eh?

[Invid]

When you refer to tie rod sleeves do you mean tie rod ends?

Ok I'm going to have to use my technical language:

The adjustable bit that holds the two tie rod ends together. The bit you turn to change the wheen alignment...

Does that make sense?

[YelloRolla]

Yes taht does make perfect sense. I guess that these shouldn't wear out!

I am also wondering if the tie rod ends (ball joint bit) and pitman arm may be the same as the KE20?
