Well he could chuck a W16 in if he wanted to, but hes asking about an SR.

Conversions are an expensive exercise and time consuming. I strongly believe that 1j is cheaper/stronger/makes more power then an SR, so before the guy jumps into it, i thought i would bring those points up so he can decide for himself.

But i guess being a cocky smartass and not putting forward anything useful is where its at. My bad.

hows about those figures

I reckon they should do drag racing with oil tankers. Quickest quarter nautical mile from 0 knots haha. Would be more entertaining than lobster racing.

where is a good place to get a 1j or 2j?

the pintara cross member works because the CA20 that comes in them uses the same mounts a CA/SR motor... one of my mate put a CA18 in and that was different... the standard CA20 box bolts up to a CA18 also... maybe that would be the path to go

otherwise the SR will be great but you need a SR box to and possibly a custom tailshaft

hope i can help

CA20 boxes are also f**king shit and will be blown up in no time. I know I ran one behind my CA18det bluey which was dead standard apart from exhaust and still shat a box

come on Josh... i just said it would bolt up.... i never mentioned that it would be strong!

I ran one behind a CA18 as well with similar luck... but who said this bloke would drive as hard as we would?

Just get the SR going mate...

And if you are as good with electronics as you say you are.... we should talk as I need some stuff sorted :)

why not lol nah mite go rb26 not sure, or maybe 25/30

There was a 2jz r33 for sale from 1 of the importers, forgot which 1....it looked sweet as.

I am aware of both of them thanks damo, anywhere else?

private sales (off forums) or even yahoo auctions japan. couple guys of the forums import stuff, including some businesses.

Just incase anyone was wondering out of interest I got this car going I picked up an sr20de with box loom and ecu. Bolted it onto a ca20 cross member and used standard gearbox mounts and standard driveshaft from pintara. Used sr20 power steering pump and connected the standard 31 lines to it. Car doesn't go too bad for what it is and is much better in fuel.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
