Does anyone have a copy, or an already scanned copy of the Bundera LJ70 or Japanese Prado LJ71 sales broucheres, specification pages from service manuals etc.

Reasoning being is to get my car registered with the 1JZ fitted, the Department of Transport needs proof of the original rim sizes, engine output, wheeltrack etc. etc.

I would be extremely greatful if someone could scan this info from their manual or know where else I could chase it down as my manual is Japanese and doesnt give this info anyway.

Cheers

surely they would have all that info already? isn't it up to your engineer to tell the DoT what's ok and what's not?

is this what you're after? from a 1985 glovebox manual.

No apparently they do not have any info.

When the application for vehicle modification is submitted to DPI, they ask you many questions such as Tare, GVM, original rim and tyre size, wheelbase, engine power etc. You then need to provide them with the proof that these figures were not just made up for your own convenience.

Yeah every bit of information from a glove box manual would be excellent. My glovebox manual is Japanese, the DPI or engineer don't speak japanese :) Besides the crazy Japanese manual doesn't seem to have any sort of specifications for the car. It only tells you how to use the car, how not to jam your fingers in the doors etc. in cartoon form. The book is really quite bizzare. Ill have to scan some of the pages and post them up.
