Eddie,
I can
add a bit here.
Plugs:
Bosch
Platinum: W8 DPX
NGK
Platinum: BPR 6EVX
Standard plugs in this heat range will work but they fall apart very
quickly, usually very 2nd hand in 6000 miles.
Gearboxes.
The FJ
turbo has a beefed up version of the ZL71 gearbox, and used with the B
bellhousing. Any ZL box can be swapped and retrofitted to the B bellhousing
which is rotated towards the RHD drivers side. 2nd option is bend the gear
stick, seen it done but yuk! When sourcing a non-FJt gearbox there is another
difference, the first gear ratio is 3.6 and the more common ratio is 3.3, 2nd
& 3rd are slightly different to the stock ZL too but this is not a big
problem, although I think Nissan preferred us to burn our tyres instead of the
clutch, hence the low first gear.
regards,
Terry

The N/A box, whether it will fit or not, is probably not a good idea as the internals are not nearly as strong as the Turbo box. That said, the bellhousing from the FJ box will fit up with other 6 cylinder 'boxes. Maybe someone else can enlighten me which ones ? However the selector will come up at an angle
