Spares
Hi,
The car you are talking about is not a HZJ75 but a HJ75 which is essential info when you buy parts because the HZJ stands for the 1HZ engine. The HJ75 has indeed an H2 engine, similar to the HJ60 (not the HJ61 which is supercharged). The HJ75 has never been imported in Europe so the Toyota dealer may look surprised if you ask for spare for the HJ75, they probably won't have any data on that car. The engine spares/gearbox spares are mostly the same as for the HJ60. The body/axles/propshaft/diffs of the HJ75 look very much like the HZJ75 but can differ from the HZJ75 but are also in some cases exchangable. It can be a bit confusing.
In Australia this car is a legend but in Africa and Europe it is unknown. There will be a lot of confusion about part numbers over here. Maybe try to get Toyota parts numbers from Australia for the parts you plan to take with you before ordering anything here, like the wrongly ordered brake shoes from RSA! That is typical.
Cheers,
Noel
