Its a faaaarkin awesome build dude not knocking it for a second but a 2J has 500cc more so personally i think it can do alot more than a 1J sure it could probably go toe to toe on a dyno in a HP shootout but that half litre more just gives you torque more turbo response which may not look that different on a dyno but the drive would be very different

awesome work mate love it. want to know how you made the engine mounts as im looking to do the same to my r33. i already have motor as i own a jzz30 soarer as well but want to swap motors any info would be great

i have found mounts for your s series nissan crossmembers and from memory the s14 crossmember are interchangeable with r33 not 100% sure though and as for the sumps im not to sure about that will have to look into it

you need a front sump yes. i have a few rear sumps here and they are useless i cant even sell them!!

i made my own engine mounts and run the r32 cross member and rubbers.

just sit your engine in the engine bay where you want it and fab up the mounts yourself.

get the motor as low as possible and as far back as possible.

pretty simple if you are handy with the tools

so the engine was down on compression and the valve stem seals were causing a lot of smoke

so i got stuck in and built a new 1jz up for it. took me 2 weeks to build it myself and get it in and running.

got the urge for more power so i went with a t66 turbo, and a few little other supporting mods

still runnning a stock ecu with safc2 controller

finished with a total of 413 rwhp 308rwkw at 24psi

here are some pics

    • Had a go at the stuck crush tube this afternoon. Tried things like grips and a chain wrench first but wouldn't just twist straight off. So got to work with a drill. Started small and kept a depth stop on to make sure I didn't drill into the bolt. Made a line of drill holes all the way up and enlarged them. Then a combination of chisel and Dremel to split it all the way up. Levered the split to get oil in there and eventually it gave a bit while levering. Worked it back and forth with loads more oil till it was spinning freely, then with grips I could work it downwards and off. And no significant damage to the bolt (not by me anyway - just the 27 years of rust)
    • Well, I'm tired. I'm tired because about 4PM yesterday, before today's appointment someone immediately bought my bumper. They couldn't get it any other day as they're on the way back to NSW. So I had to do that big GTR conversion I had been planning. Unfortunately, the information on SAU about what you need and how this is done is incomplete. So what should be a simple bolt on affair, yeah, it's not. Did you know if you use all GTR items the bonnet won't close? This little manuever sent me into about 1am the night before trying to dodge a way to get it closed. I will have to revisit this in the next few days  - or maybe not, I may let a body shop figure it out. It all needs to come up and my motivation to pull the bumper off is low. It also seems to hit things in the bay where the GTT bonnet didn't. Yes I used 100% new OEM GTR items. Today, I had the joy of driving to the dyno looking like this: Given I had roughed in the fuel and given sensible but pretty conservative timing, I didn't really bet on having the car drive out any real difference than when it drove in. Sadly due to a miscommunication and laptop fun and games (and almost bricking the dongle, prayers and firmware updates indeed), I ended up using HP Tuner credits to licence the car that was already licenced. So in the end my laptop was used. It turns out my butt dyno is still well calibrated after all this time. The 325kw was on 74% Ethanol, the 313kw line was on 98. The other line is the 'before' line which was 281kw. While the numbers are pretty low, they're pretty in line with what you'd expect. Even if US dynos bump the whole result up about 50KW, gaining 10-15% is similar gains.  The curve of the cam is pretty much spot on with what was discussed as well. All this said, it still feels bad to not see the number you secretly want to see. Even if the car drove great beforehand, and I knew pretty confidently the car would drive out much the same way it drove in due to the nature of a wellish dialled in LS1 not gaining much if anything at all from being tuned from where it was. As expected, the car isn't particularly sensitive to running it at anywhere between 12.0 and 13.0 - And the initial timing at 20deg and 12.0 made 308KW. So 3 degrees of timing, and leaning it out to 12.7 for 5kw, anything above stopped giving any benefit until E85 (which has an additional 2 deg as before). Car itself behaved entirely fine. I found out that 100C = 1.15V! IAT at about 7pm was 19C. I might mess with the bonnet mounting.. but given the REO NEEDS TO BE CHOPPED TO FIT A GTR BAR this is possibly something I may leave gathering (more) dust until it returns to paint jail.
