I dunno tbh.

2JZ is a drop in and go and has bigger valves etc

1.5JZ means building shit/modifying the head/block etc and I'm lazy these days

2JZ-GTE with new rings and bearings seems like the go to me

Turbos and manifolds finally off...I really feel sorry for Toyota mechanics

Lots of oil/grime on the bell housing and the back half of the block, might be leaking a little from the cam covers, the bolts were a little loose so nipped them up and I'll keep an eye on it.

Also have to figure out how to get the factory oil drain off...cant get a socket in there nor can I can a spanner in there....

I was expecting 2 drain holes in the block ala RB26...but its a steel Y piece...So I may block the rear one and use it as a crank case breather/oil return from a catch tank and use the forward drain for the new turbo...Should work well I think.

There are also the matter of the rear turbo water feed sticking out near where the new dump pipe will go, So I'll loop it into the front turbo water feed, which will be a neater solution to sticking a couple of bolts in cut off hoses...looks shit and tends to leak after a while.

Anyway a few photos of progress...Was delayed a little as a had to rescue one of my cats of the neighbors roof lol.

I'm quite happy with how it went today, only took 30-40mins to get the rear turbo off (just needed a couple of nuts removed though as most of it was done Monday)

parts all interchangeable? like manifolds and turbos? and stuff?

loom?

Chris you have more room in the bay either side than the Soarer does!!!

The front rails sit so high in the Soarers that where the engine sits is half as wide as the bay!

How are you going to fit dump pipes with the turbos like that? Are they adapters?

Did it take you long to get the intake vacuum lines all back on? there are about 9000 of them!

Well, some good news. Due to me having what looks like a 2 1/4" mid pipe I was going to try and make one...BUUUUUTTTT aftermarket ones for JZA80s are exactly the same :D

Also had a go at starting the dump pipe (the back half of it) by cutting up an old one I had here off the skyline...but it was all rusty and I ran out of grinding disks...so i decided to weld it up anyway....WHAT A MESS!!!! I wont make excuses. it wasnt cut straight enough and I got a bit carried away...really need a drop saw, as trying to cut angles with a 4" grinder just doesnt work!!!! >_<

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
