Sweet as thanks guys I'll try there and yes I'm in brissey

can confirm as of yesterday they have a semi recent white st184 hatchback shell, and a 6th gen st205 (with a grease painted smiley on the boot)

both dont have motors and theres pieces missing but seeing you have a whole car it should be too much of a hassle.

Sweet as does the st184 parts fit in a st185 or st205 because I was thinking of maybe getting a AWD chassis and use my 5sfe to make a 2.2 l turbo

Baby steps buddy, baby steps. The task you want to undertake there is a massive one, both on your wallet and in time.

I'm gunna leave the parts swapping stuff to someone else, but from my experiences only some ST184 and ST185 parts exchange and I dont think you will have any luck with the ST205.

dont even bother with an ST20x chassis or a ST185 chassis.

If you want a ST185, go and buy one, they can be had for under $5000 now and it would end up costing you more than that (not to mention the time) to build one.

You can turbo a 5S, but you need to know what you are doing...

Lol guys I'm a mechanic I know exactly what I'm doing I know you can swap the 3sgte block with a 5sfe block and essentialy make a 2.2l 3sgte it moght not be as straight forward as that but i can do the all the wotk myself I just wanted to know if like the exterior panels are the same and if any if the interior was the same on the st184 and st185 and I like have no money so all I can afford is a chassis with nothing in it that I can transfer my stuff into

Yes, the interiors and panels are MOSTLY the same between a 185 and a 184.

However the following things WONT fit (that I know of)

LHS Front Seat

RHS Front Seat

Interior Carpet

The ST185 has a different floorpan to the 184, and if you were trying to find a stripped one you would need to make sure it still had its drive train.

Also, making a 5SGTE is not as easy as just slapping together a 5SFE and a 3SGTE. both trentmeyer23 and myself have done extensive research, and built 5SGTEs.

Agreed, granted mechanical experience will help, but you will need to do a hell of a lot of research along the way. It is MUCH more complicated if you do things the right way.

So practically anything that will go on the floor will be different because of the drive shaft tunnel so the center console is probably different to

rear sears are the same, the center console is the same, the door sils are the same, the seatbelt clips are the same, all the rear plastics are the same

The only difference is front seats and carpets.

Well that's not too bad to get front seats and carpet what about the exterior are all the body panels the same

exterior panels are the same... but if yours is a coupe (not a hatch) the panels are only the same from the doors forward.

the ST185 also has a different hood and front bar... if you just want to swap your engine/interior over, i highly recommend just getting a ST184.

That's pretty much everything that got broken

I don't mind getting a st184 chassis cuz I loved my st184 before it got smashed it's almost still drivable except the rear LH wheel is hard up against the inside of the wheel arch causing smoke to go everywhere if you try driving it

But I would like the st185 for the AWD but I suppose I could go with out it

      Toyota estima raised suspension

      I love to know if he find the solution to raise his estima too. I can only manage to raise the rear of my 2008 estima with airbag installed, the front still low though.

      Toyota Landcruiser problems

      Ah yes . Oh what a reaming..... Toyota.!! I had an aftermarket electric tailgate opener fitted $1500. Closes the door from inside and out. Mines a vx. Reverse sensors only turn off with toggle with "car and witches hat" on 300. They stay off till switched back on. I put my keys in the door pocket.the jingling almost drowns out the squeaking of the middle seats I sent a hand written registered letter personally addressed to the CEO of Toyota Australia and he did not have the decency to reply. Emails go ignored Toyota Lack of Customer Experience centre inept and uneducated regarding the legislation they are required to operate under. At least the 300 here didn't have the 3.5 TT petrol. Are you listening Toyota.??? NEVER AGAIN

      200 series after market 35 inch tyres

      Ive seen a 200 with them fitted on the weekend and they were on 17s (GXL). The owner was very sheepish to say the least to pass on the info what had to be done other than some panel work on the from inner guards. 0 offset (bead lockers) and 3 inch lift and he still had rubbing. He was going to do some more panel work to allow the rubbing to not tear up inner guard (alloy plate) but it made my 200 with 20's and 2 inch lift look like a baby sitting next to it...

      300 series turbo issues

      Hope I haven't posted twice but the issue is that this happens at all and the drop in torque and AFR off the chart when it does (7th injector problem??). By the time you notice it you're in a torque hole and your DPF is starting to cough coping with the lousy mixture. Nothing to do but push more fuel in and accelerate aou of it. It happens regardless of whether you notice it or not and regardless of whether you're towing. can't be doing the DPF any good. They're $7 grand to replace. They're still selling them and not telling anybody that this "design characteristic" is what to expect from your perfectly designed engine. Hopefully dyno report is attached. Ask what your service manager thinks and watch them squirm

      Stout Owners

      Putting 15" or 16" on will only make it slower, won't have the power to pull higher gearing, trust me I know, my cousin has one. He ended up putting a 4y/ 5speed in it

      300 series turbo issues

      I have since found when it happened again on steep incline, lift foot on accelarater pedal, drops a gear and then back on the gas an no issue as is out of the rev range approx 2200 where it happens. (This is all done in a second so not a drama at all now for me when it happens)
