i have just got a quote from the only place in darwin that i havent already gone to yet. and it was worth it. the cheapest quote i got before was around 4k for everything being condenser, compressor and evaporator. (incl. labour)
ive been told by the air con guy all i need is a new evaporator and nothing else. he said my condenser and compressor were fine. problem is i cant get one anywhere ! toyota cant get me one and small aircon businesses need a crap load of part numbers to narrow it down to like 20. please if anyone can help me out and let me know if it is even possible to get a new jzz30 evaporator ?!?!

Have a look around this section, some people have been able to fit Hilux evaporators I think it was with just a little minor mod like adding a cushion to make it sit higher or something.
Nathan, I had to replace my evaporator a few years ago and found that the Prado one was almost identical - correct height and width, just slightly shorter, so when closing the evaporator enclosure I put some padding between the evaporator and the cover. It's worked perfectly ever since. Just be careful what sort of padding you use - don't use material that can soak up moisture as it'll then grow mouldy and stink.
