nice looking little sleeper.
And another one started
And heres photos of another one we had to fit. Customer trailered it down from Auckland in the morning , we knotched his sump , supplied and fitted a bell housing to a 22R hilux box (his ute used to be 4 speed) and modified the mounts on the chassis. As this ute had a Y series motor we cut and relocated to R or L series motor position so our bolt in mounts fit.
of course we also supplied the mounts. There is a slight change to the steering box and gearbox mount and we bolted it in so it could be towed back to Auckland that afternoon so the customer could comtinue with bits and pieces himself. He will bring it back to do the tricky stuff , wire and tune, Cheers

headers
which headers will clear 88 v6 sheetmetal w/o cuttinG and allowing e pipe flange access?
Ive seen so many header and manifolds here, i dunno what to do. Which of the stock uz manifolds hug the block the closest?

This vehicle has been back for it's first service. The owner has better fuel economy than the old 22R when on the open road. The rear tyres lasted three days after collecting it. At this first service we swapped up to ELF competition 15/50 oil. Completed a brake fluid flush and our inhouse sparkie sorted the taillights (lots of blown bulbs) and got the dash lights working. Even better for the customer it cost him about $30 as I sold the old 22r motor after a tip from another customer buying lexus conversion mounts.
As for the questions
We have our first set of preproduction Y mounts getting test fitted at the moment. These will have options to fit most Y vehicles including the YN6x 4x4 vehicles and the 2wd vehicles. We also have an option for people who have vehicles with lifted bodies.
We have the V6 surf mounts which are around 20mm different in position to the LN and RN series hilux / surf. Our standard mounts have a 20mm offset so these simply reverse for the V6.
With our mounts we have it set back as far as we can but in most cases the gearbox needs to come forward around 20mm. We feel this is the best option for clearance of the firewall brake booster , steering and sump. There is still access to the bell housing bolts like the factory vehicle. See my thread on the winch truck we are doing. I am due to do an update. Another great thing about the V6 is in most cases they have the internal roller on the handbrake which is perfect. We swap in the later internal roller handbrake on all early vehicle except the V6 which have it factory.
We are wanting to have mounts avaliable for all hilux and keep up with the new models as they come avaliable. We sell around one set a week in NZ are are working towards Ebay in australia next. We have just upgraded our basic L and R series mounts to a single pressed item which does not have any welding on it. They look awesome with the first set going out this week.
We also made our first custom sumps for the IFS hilux / surf with #2 getting sorted late next week. This solves the diff clearance problem with the diff on the IFS models.
This ute is running the standard box along with the winch truck we are presently doing. Both use a custom bellhousing with my prefered 10inch chrome moly flywheel
