Hey guys, i currently have a 33 gts im gonna get rid off, but before that i wanna set myself up with a decent supra, ive always loved supras since i saw my first one, I'm just wondering After i sell my car i wanna set myself up with a decent model like i see all these models and i was just wondering how i would go about getting a 2jz-gte bad boy dropped into one ? Is there any sites that could help out, I'm pretty keen to know as i've never been involved with any of this stuff before and i have no idea?. I live in perth atm is there a company anyone knows of that could possibly fit a 2jz-gte into supra body i've looked everywhere but no one is selling a supra with a 2jz already in it. Would it be a cheaper option to start from stock and whatnot? Or whats the best way to go about this. Cheers

F*** me this section is delivering teh lulz lately. OP been watching too much F&F...is surprised at the idea of finding 2JZ engines in MK4 Supras...

Aside from all that.. You are more interested in buying another engine and transplanting it rather than flying over and picking up a car with it already done... wtf..

Like I said I'll explain it to you for those who can't read I'm new to this stuff . I havnt got a clue on how to buy a car from over east . Who sets up the shipping ?, buyer or seller , do I have to run it over the pits when it gets here I obviously will have to get it licensed for w.a and yes i probably could research but why do that when I could get a more simple and quicker explanation from people who know what they're talking about and have possibly experienced this before

I'm not just interested i'n planting a motor i'n one if u read correctly I said would it be a cheaper option to do so . What would be the best way to go about it. Starting new and dropping an engine i'n importing buying straight-out etc so please read and understand where I'm coming from before coming i'n here and trying to troll thanks.

why research when you can ask and get told?

because nobody will spoonfeed you, this has been asked countless times, and you're not even willing to search for yourself.

We're not trolling, from your posts, the only thing i can understand is that you are a lazy person who relies on being spoonfed and refuses to do any research himself. If i'm wrong then I apologise in advance, otherwise, use the search button on the forum =)

Dude sounds like ur making a rite cock of your self mate, do some research on supra's then ask questions..

People dont like wasting time on responces when ur question doesnt make sence..

you find a supra you like over east.. then pay me the thousands you would save if you researched and called you're state transport and a few transport companies.. and I will sort it all out for you.. sound good? has less hassle for you..

also you never asked about cheaper options in your OP.. you mentioned a swap and then said what's the best option..

Do you even realise the factory engine for a Mk4 Supra is a 2JZ?

That's why people are taking the piss outta ya. Why would you want to "transplant" a motor that is already in the engine bay?

:ermm:

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
