Cool, another perthie doing the conversion.

Justjap in syd is where i got mine. cost about 1600 + 500ish for freighting with northline door-door.

Engine no. usually is a G16A but still mpfi 16v. Jap imports are slightly different for this.

did u do a gearbox conversion as well? or just hooked him up to the 5 speed? u being in perth also would mean that u could help me do the conversion for small fee wouldn't it???? ;) :P :P

I KNOW! i would buy it, but it defetes the purpose of have a light wieght 4x4, the v8 would make it way to heavy at the front. But Fark i think its cheap with a mod plate and all! would be fun to buy and drive to work and back. Do big line lockers and everyone would look at you like WHAT THE HELL :lol: :lol: apart from you would snap a axle every week. lol

No worries, mines getting done in my carport. can fit 4 cars there so got just enought space.

The autos are quite big when looking at them and would have to get gears for it i am guessing.

Isn't the transfer attached to the gearbox in Vitaras
I think you might run into rear drive shaft issues (too short or too steep)
