I can not reccomend Rolin Automotive enough.
www.japparts.com.au ( Note, NO HYPHEN)-
One thing I found was that most wreckers couldn't really give an airbourne fornication (flying f*ck for the english challenged) about helping you out if they didn't already have it in stock. I was reccommended to Rolin by a Mate who bought from them - and when I called, they understood I was ready to spend my money as soon as they could find something suitable. They made no promises of finding me something - but they did promise to call me when and if they did find something.
They get 100's of calls a week with people wanting front cuts, engines etc, so it's probably best to wait until you have the money ready as you will get a better idea what is about, and how much they are at that time. I had been "quoted" from other wreckers, everything from $3,000 for a bare engine with turbos, right up to $8,500 for a 98 VVti front cut with auto.
In the end, Rollin charged $3,800 after saying that they expect it to be about $3,800 to $4,500
I got a call on Wednesday Arvo, gave me the specs, and a price range, they sent me a .avi movie file of the engine being started and run, and I put a deposit down straight away. I drove up from Sydney to the Gold Coast on Friday night, sussed it out on Saturday with wastegate and I am now the proud owner - now I just have to wait for the truck to arrive with it on.
while we were there, we noticed a few 1JZ's about, bot compete front cuts, as well as Engines and Engine/G'box etc.
