Hi all,
I found this forum through google, seems there is a lot more knowledge on these vehicles here than anywhere else I have seen. Then I found two x 1UZ-FE converts and had to sign up.
I have lived in Dubai for 15 years and just this week bought a LHD LJ73 which was originally imported from Germany. I have previously owned a 4.0 Wrangler, GQ 4.5 Patrol, GU 4.8 Patrol, 79 series 4.5L supercharged ute (pickup), Chevy 6.0 2500 HD and then Pajero (shogun) 3.8L.
We don't really drive diesel vehicles here so the previous owner converted the 73 to a Lexus LS400 1UZ-FE. These engines are cheap here and you can buy a complete one (less loom/ecu) for around 200 GBP. Not sure how that compares to UK prices.
Going to work out how to post pics on this forum in a short while....
Cheers,
Mick
