Steve Etcell (mechanic out western sydney) is doing patrol conversions so would have the ECU/wiring harness stuff sorted. food for thought

4jj1 engine in an Isuzu truck would have a MYY5T box behind it. I'm putting one with a 4JH1 in a forward control series landy.

Probably ECU controlled though. I'm trying to avoid going down that path with my build.
