TD42T engine was available in about 1999 or thereabouts. Your engine will be a TD42 if it still has the original engine in it.

One on-line parts suppler that uses a VIN is Partsouk.

In Australia yes, but the TD42T was available in other markets from 1993. As OP called his vehicle a Safari, it's possible he has a grey import model. Or it could be an Australian delivered GQ with an aftermarket turbo.

I believe the early TD42Ts just said TD42 on the plate, and putting the frame number from above into Partsouq seems to bear that out.

Shows a Japanese market, high roof Y60 wagon, engine TD42T, transmission RE4R03A.

Thank you for all the replies. VIN nr does not come up on partsouk . Truck is original Japanese import without any mods. Bought it from a guy who imported it with 50k km and owned it for 25y. Will take a look at the crank case. View attachment 549143

You need to use the frame number shown in the first picture you posted. Or just click the link.

Looks like 24V too (which is no surprise), by the twin factory battery hold-downs.

Japanese market Y60s usually were 24V.

I think you'll be OK WRT it's strength, as long as you don't go chasing stupid amounts of power. Parts not sure, but I imagine later model turbo parts would fit. N/A parts too if you can't find anything else.
