hahah I'm going to try and do it period mod, So it looks like it was wrapped in a bubble in 1997 or something.

So something along the lines of an old school Jap turbo kit (td06H-20g anyone :whistling: )

We shall see, what happens, it has a built A340E and a 3k(ish) stall, so next year sometime I'll drop a 5 speed in it get some big brakes on the front and get into some track work again.

Going to keep this one nice and simple (re: minimal mods) and tidy it up...and the most important thing

DRIVING THE BLOODY THING!

tl;dr? sub 300kws, brakes, drive

yeah or that.

I figure that if I keep it VERY simple I should be right lol

I wasnt planning on selling the Soarer...but this was too good to miss :thumbsup:

Also means I no longer have to keep an eye on my105 for a cheap as chups track car as I'll just use the supra

Back to the Car - I originally thought that the Twin Turbo R wasnt all the much different to the regular JZA70, I initially thought that all it got was much lees weight, recaro seats, momo wheel and Bilstein shocks.

Turns out it also has bigger anti-roll bars and stiffer springs, Now the Bilsteins are long gone (now has KYB's) No plans to change those just yet, as this car will well and truly be a case of if it aint broke don't fix it. May even save a thousand odd bucks on the brake upgrade and throw some track spec pads at it and see how it goes.

so no more soarer????

Still here being picked up just after xmas...did yours sell or are you parting it?

brake rotors and pads first, dont be one of ''those fanboys'' that think they need brembos to be fast.

brakes are pretty average standard, 300x22 with a single piston caliper

Dont fit

There is/was a kit out there that used R33 Gtst Sumitomo calipers and a 324mm rotor, was looking at pics of the kit yesterday and in all honesty it looks rubbish

Wilwood do a kit for under a grand using 330x28mm disks and their forged superlight calipers.

Not a huge fan of the cheaper wilwood calipers, so may buy the hats and get a thicker rotor and their better caliper and have bracket made to suit.

Just stumbled across this pic

I knew the 1JZ had short rods, but not this short

1JZ-gte rod and piston on the left and 2JZ-gte rod and piston on the right, 2JZ rods are shorter than RB30 rods too btw

1jz rod is 125.25mm, and look how solid the thing is! So any plans I did have of rebuilding the 1J down the track just got a whole lot cheaper :D

1J and 2J pistons also have the same pin height, so they are interchangeable but the piston crowns are slightly differernt

wow that's a short rod, the 1j rod looks alot thicker than the 2j rod too.

the piston skirt looks a little different between the two.

Bc racing coilovers. 18inch rims Hdi intercooler and trans cooler soon.  Here's my car
    • thanks for the advice on the box... i was thinking the 6 speed was better for cruising on the highway but on closer inspection and comparison the Rb 5 speed box was not too different...  So the choice is going to be the RB25 box... if I can save up and find one at the right price  
    • Thanks Matt, yes that's what i am aiming for. Just going to apply the right voltage and grounds to the dash connector. Hence my search for these pins... any chance you know if these pins are in the same spot as the ones on the S15 Dash connector? as mentioned above on page 8?
    • Yes, unfortunately that's the one. Signal was noisy to begin with; after driving once and looking back at the logs I saw pressure constantly swinging between 0-200psi, or staying at 0 randomly for a few seconds. There's a lot of good sensors that share the same look and feel, so don't presume they're all bad. I bought mine for 20$ off Amazon and I should have read the reviews prior, as it's clear they're junk.  I purchased a lowdollerr motorsports sensor. 
    • wedding eh.....I seem to get to more funerals than weddings or christenings these days....
