I used to have a VR SS Commodore with a 1jz, sold it 11 months ago.

Thats when the depression hit

So 11 months later im back!

This time im throwing a 1jz in an r32 skyline

I love the 1jz, theres nothing better, so i went down and picked up a halfcut from sydney yesterday.

Grabbed an r32 a few weeks ago for pretty much nothing, infact i made money on the deal.

So here goes, this build is going to be bigger and better then the last, stay tuned as hopefully this thing is going to move pretty fast, because i wanna be out tearing up the streets allready!!!

i have started repairing the gutter rash on the work wheels, had to weld one up.

dismantling them and painting the centres black and im polishing the alloy piece.(dish and lip)

i think this will look pretty sick!

Going to get the conversion done, engine in and running with a new haltech that i got for a steal.

then pull the motor out next year after its engineered and do a full engine build.

Going to paint the engine bay satin black... .what do you think????

look forward to seeing how this turns out, good choice on changing the auto box, maunual is so much better. r154 boxes are good, i put one on the 2jz cressida me and my brother built.

and zebra i sourced a manual halfcut a few years back for 2,500 you just need to know where to look :thumbsup:

havent heard about this before???

I cant see it being too much of an issue as im basically using everything toyota anyway, just splicing into nissan for headlights, instrument cluster and simple stuff like that.

Someone buy my rb205 speed gearbox so i have a bit more cash to throw at this!!!!!! bargain $430

i love 1js as well before i had my gtr i had a soarer (z30) with a 1j in it and i run low 12 's all day with minor mods and now my gtr has had oil pump failer (engine still fine) i really want to put a 1j or 2j in it but i think theres to much involed :(

Well today i removed the single wheeling diff to see what is going on.

Turns out someone has welded the centre and something has broken majorly inside the centre.

I have sourced another diff, probably shim it up nice and tight and fit a lockout bar and alloy subframe bushes.

on the lookout for a mechanical lsd, preferably 2 way if anyone can help me out!!!

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
