Hi all LJ experts, my Dad pulled this out of the cupboard in his shed and gave it to me. I have got parts books for LH and LX but I know very little about the little Toranas, excuse the pun!! Has anyone seen a book like this although its not really a book, It's a folder with about 500 pages that is held by 3 posts and clipped in.

Original folders are hard to come by.......
Looks to be in excellent condition.
I'd be keeping a very tight grip on that and putting it somewhere safe and clean.

Hi Grant, my Dad has had it since he had his GTR back in the day. It's been in the shed cupboard since about 1975 so I got told and only came out a few days ago.
Don't worry it's going to be kept well, don't want it to get damaged either.

Cheers

It's June 75....I think that is the last revision of the LJ parts book isn't it?
What quality is the scanned version that everyone has? Might be worth scanning this one.....

This is the version I have.

Get a hold of a big fancy scanner like we have at work here that you can just sit the entire manual in it and it feeds it all through by iteself and scans every page.

Hi

I have seen the '75 edition (green cover) of the LJ go for around $200. The earlier '72 edition (red and blue cover) goes for a bit less because it doesn't have he '73 Bathurst parts in it.

There are mistakes and omissions in the June 1975 parts books as some carry over parts are not udated and some superseeding parts do not indicate that the part has changed.
There is no part number change for the Aug 73 carbie boddies even though these were changed, and there is no 1972 Carbie with the push on fuel pipes listed even though the build sheets reflect this optional carbie for some conditions.
There is some sort of part number foul up with the con rods and still shows the acellerator spring which was deleted for the late 72 & 73 models.
There is a piston part number change from Aug 73 from memory and It lists a whole replacement engine being available from production, and while this works for the GTR and Smodels, it appears to be a mistake for the XU-1 because no replacement engine for any XU-1 would have been available past September 73 when production ceased.
NP versions were NASCO short motors and from July 73 block and pistons only, not complete engines.
even NP short motors do not seem to have been available by 1975.
The Aug 73 heater hose bracket it not right either, and their is a mistake with the front guards.
There are several more mistakes etc, so don't believe everything in the book.

WRONG
If your refering to the T226 carbies then theses started coming out in the 6th and 7th month cars so you can't call them 8th month carby bodys.

At any given time it was quite permissable to use componets Holologated for use up to that point in history and this also includes the carbies, I am not going to go in depth about carbie numbers, however if you look at any published build sheet between Aug 72 and the end of production in Sept 73 you will find that there were either of two sets of carbies available for use.
I am reliably told that this consisted of the rubber fuel line ones and the steel fuel line ones, going by the parts numbers quoted.

The T226 TCX were cast Jan 1973 and yes they were fitted to 6 - 9 months cars but the statement that the changed bodies for these carbies are not reflected in the parts books still remains true and likely accounts for why so many sets are mixed up with the two types of carbie boddies.

The fact also remains that as in the build sheets if a late 72 or 73 XU-1 optioned with the earlier 949 rubber line carbies required a carbie replacement, then the 1975 parts book was wrong as no push on rubber line carbies are even listed for those cars.

There was no need to supply new part numbers for the T226 TCX carb body as it was essentially the same as the previous carby body and performed to the same level of service. All the attaching parts were the same, the only difference really was the later body was designed to accept an automatic thermal choke control (with the appropriate machining during production) which was not optioned for the XU1.

You are correct in that the part numbers are not listed in the 1975 book for the 1972 rubber fuel line carbs, however they are listed in the 1972 parts book and a Parts Dealer would only have to look in the 1972 book to find the correct part numbers.
