lol

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 )

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

[BOZ22N]

Buy it, brake it, pull it apart, shit ya self buy another and start again lol.

[zebra]

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

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????

[tweety bird]

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

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

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

[bored33]

So really you have to start a new thread

[tweety bird]

Mark IV brakes?

[zebra]

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.

well there you go, just what I was after

[tweety bird]

that kit looks good, it would probably be cheaper to do that than convert gts-t brakes.

what about the rear?

[zebra]

standard rears will be fine for a while

I'm more than happy to try the standard fronts for a while...but I know they arent going to cut the mustard for any decent track stuff

[endless]

Shoulda just bought mine

[zebra]

I looked at your ad not long ago actually..and the dyno sheet

[xALmoN]

soarer is gonna be parted, just waiting on my mate's shed... backyard mechanics ftw.

[zebra]

I may have to buy the standard turbos off you then

Too bad I'm not in the market for a remote shifter R154 anymore

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

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

[tweety bird]

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.

ye 2jz skirt is a little longer, but all the aftermarket 2J pistons run the shorter 1j skirt length, or so I hear from the guys in the US
