hmm, thinking about it old school ways. its just like a driveline upgrade into a E33A. maybe at worst id need to go through a "MOD PLATE" scenario to get it legally recognised as a E33A with a VR4 conversion.

and an imported jap spec VR4 EVERYTHING was trasplanted into it? HUGE amount of work to strip both back to bare, and swap it all over? more likely to be restamped i spose. seems more logical since the build and compliance plates are only riveted on. hmm, wonder what this may mean for insurance

done, thanks!

i looked at the font thing wasnt sure to make much of it. the marks on my strut tower are where i gave it a bit of a clean prior to the pic, not "brush" marks from painting dodgy stuff.

tried that on saturday, local dealer couldnt bring up a record of it

yep.

thanks Guys. will keep hunting down info. if only i could get somebody that could check the VIN and see what it says the car is supposed to be, that would answer a lot of things.

hmm well, ive got the Md150427 twin pot brakes, and the map lights. so its certainly looking like a 100% jap spec VR4. but damned if can work out the reason for it being labled as E33A.

keep throwing the info out. im not planning to sell this car. so the more i know about them the better. especially about working out exactly what i have ( no matter how it came about being). for certain, mine has the electric fold in mirrors. and the fuel filler is NOT key operated. all this...

Suede A pillars. no idea what the points to. A list with pics of what is Jap spec, and what is A spec would be fantastic for new guys. if there was someway to collate and point out the differences between them Also the Boot numberplate surround/ garnish, is BLACK and hidden lights. not the same...

it does appear to have been resprayed in its life. as the drivers front guard is 99% aftermarket , its showing black undercoat. the passanger side appears to be genuine and the "bodykit" has flaked paint that appears to have been from a respray. will check the doors for non factory looking...

no idea, i got it from a mate in Hobart who got it cheap due to it not running cause of the head issue. He got it of some "young bogan" who only had it a few weeks when the cam shit itself and put it in the "too hard basket" to get it fixed . so im the 4th owner of it since october last year...

yep, grey cloth.

I have had a brief look under it, there isnt any glaring signs of something dodgy going on, like 2 half cars welded together. may have to have a closer look tomorrow. seems liek a HUGE amount of work to transfer VR4 gear into a FWD shell, and would the FWD floorpan have the tranny tunnel to...

sorry for the delay, took a while to work out the damn phone settings to get a some decent pics.

yes, ive looked abuot 10 times to make sure it is E33A. and im not mistaken. and i'm not pissed either

there is no doubt about it being 4wd and 4ws.

NFC what ive got myself actually. now after a bit of research. VIN = JMFHG2P41LJ003860 Body stamp = FSRE33AKZ00609 Build = may '90 now from what i have been able to find is that a E33A is a FWD? but this thing to me is 100% VR4. appears to have a jap spec motor in it, with the 8 runner cyclone...

all sorted thanks to Gianni.

thanks Shaun! already got that aircon bracket sorted :)
