My R32 Gtst 1Jz Gte Build


Recommended Posts

heres a big update

engine and gearbox is in, all mounts made by me, ive made up a set of custom dump pipes which have come up absolutely mint, and just get around the skyline steering arm!!!

got a 5 puck carbonic button clutch with ultralight flywheel, hd pressure plate

the speedo drive from the skyline was a perfect match to the r154 gearbox AWESOME!

the soarer throttle cable was nearlly identical to the skyline one apart from length, so with minor modification it fit AWESOME!

Lots of stuff matches up between nissan and toyota which is making the conversion very easy.

not long now and itll all be running.

I would kill for a 1j 32, I'm wanting to convert mine to a 1j later on when it inevitably gets yellowed and becomes a track/drift car. How much roughly would this set one back if not needing to get it engineered/registered.

i made my dump pipes, iam a mechanic at an exhaust shop

I wish my stock turbo 1J would do that...might have something to do with my car weighing 1800kgs lol.

Anyhoo who did your dump pipe? I really like it

ive spent about 7 grand on the conversion but that includes coilovers etc.

the exhaust is twin 2.5 inch from the turbos the whole way to the back of the car. (2.5inch off each turbo) all it has are one straight through resonator on each pipe at the rear.

sounds like a rotor on full noise!

ill see what i can do about a vid

Conflicting emotions........ Have always been a toyota man owned a Gt4 celica my old man has a tt soarer which ive had alot of fun in too but now im a nissan owner lol! Nice work mate the 1jz is 1 of the best donks ever made! If there was as much aftermarket support for the yotas as the nissans i probably never woulda jumped on the nissan boat. Nice build though buddy bet shes a screamer in the lil 32 the old boys snoarer pops along well with few lil tweaks and the 32 probably weighs as much as the 2 doors of the soarer hahaha

    • I mean nah, lets be honest it's significantly worse. BMW's are absolutely not the same age, replacements are not the same level of robustness. Most would say an E36 is more solid than an E90X and I would still say an E36 is a little more rickety than your equivalent R chassis over time. BMW pretty much have a huge void between E36 and anything with a B58/ZF onward. I kinda get the appeal if they work, but they just don't. I get that the vibe is "do a track day in executive comfort" but in all seriousness, a VE Commodore is as comfortable and certainly more solid* around a track, and they are hardly up there in the high list of "Excellent track cars". See also: Barra Turbo with coilovers or _something_. I mean a great deal of these cars/choices are always irrational, but I at least try to stay rational, or at least have some rational argument why I did X and not Y :D. My pet peeve is irrational badge snobbery. There is no reason to buy a Luxury SUV when anything from Kia will do the job better, and cheaper. I know someone who has a twin turbo diesel X5 making 400kw or whatever and as soon as he opens his mouth I say nothing but "You are an idiot who has wasted your money" and tell him to buy a Tesla Model X/Y as it is superior to anything he will do with that car. (he does not like this, but he deserves it, just trust me..) But Prank seems like a nice guy. I want him to sell this 335i before sadness kicks in more and buy something far happier at the track, like an 86, or a Megane RS, or an Evo, or even save the money on mods and buy a 440i/240i/etc and bypass the painful years between 1997 and 2015 for BMW.
    • Haha most are for LHD though!  
    • Honestly, can't be worse than Skyline ownership which is also a mess considering the age of these things. The 335i at least you can still get parts easily.
    • Looks nice Shan. Every time you post its about a different car! 
    • Nice one! You wont know the old girl when all that's installed. My alignment was absolutely horrid when I did my front end. The car just wanted to go in circles and it was so heavy to straighten up. I totally thought I'd stuffed it.
