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

[AE35]

No they don't bolt onto the KE3x-55 lower control arm unless the ball joint fits the RA40 steering arm. There is about 2mm difference in the bolt spacing on the bottom of the strut between the RA40 and the KE3x-55. The good thing is though, RA40 lower control arms bolt straight into KE3x-55's and are basically identical length.

oops. Thats what I meant. Haha. Sorry people!

"Y" flywheels and "G" flywheels are NOT interchangeable. Different bolt hole spacing, and different cente hole size.

cheers Chuck.

Ball joints are the same part number, BJ45 even

Not really parts, but as I discovered when my mate needed to borrow my wheels - AE92 and AW11 MR2's not only have the same stud pattern, they also seem to have the same offset (wheel wise anyway)

Male/female plugs on a 4A-GE ECU computer and a LS400/Celsior airbag suspension computer are IDENTICAL

Broke a speedo cable on the GF's AE86 Sprinter.

The cable broke in the last section before the gearbox where the cable does a 90 degree bend inside a solid pipe section of the speedo cable housing.

Went to Pick-a-Part yesterday and found one that suits no probs and is actually a better design, in the bend, from an ST141 Corona.

JZA70 master cylinder will bolt to a MX73 Cressida and the lines fit with a bit of bending.

is the speedo reading the same ?? i thought the cables were different.. coz the box and cluster is different too... hmm... care to confirm? thanks

AE92 4agze 224mm clutches are the same as AE95 4afe's
though the flywheels dont interchange> 8 bolt vs. 6 bolt.

speedo accuracy has nothing to do with the cable mate. It has to do with a small cog which the cable screws onto. So the cable can be replaced without replacing the cog. Also, those cogs are interchangeable between most toyota boxes, so they can be exchanged to keep speedos happy anyway. For example, I swapped boxes in a mate's RA60 from an A40D auto, to a W50 manual, and used the cog from his A40D in the W50 to keep the speedo happy.

NOW the advantage of using TA22 struts over XT130. TA22 are shorter therefore do not need to be shortned if you wish to lower the car a decent amount without converting to coilovers. whilst the hilux twin spot calipers will bolt the the XT130 struts you can do a VERY simple brake upgade on the TA22's using a Girlock (Commodore VK-VS) caliper and a Pintara 250mm vented disc.

Is this true? Has anyone put VK-VS calipers and Pintara 250mm vented discs on a TA22 strut?

Could be worth trying if so.

It is possible however youll need to get an adaptor made up for the caliper as it is not a bolt up jobby.

I need confirmation on this but im about 99% sure....

AW11 Proportioning valve can be fitted to AE86 that has T series disk rear end to fix the bias issues created by replacing the drum diff....

Adam

Just an FYI - at least for the USDM vehicles.

After the model break 10/85 both the sr-5 and gt-s USDM corolla/trueno used the same brake proportioning valve. If you can get me p#'s for the Aussie version (or versions if they have the same p# split) I can check and see if they are identical - or not.

No offence man but that hardly seems worth the effort!

That would have a similar effect as the hilux/pug/rona setup, as the car is lighter, but the callipers arent as good. Still worth the effort if youve ever seen the capability or lack thereof of the TA22 stock brakes.
