Ian Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) More progress Exhaust fitted ready to mock up the rest of the pipe work And now the biggie! 2JZ to 350Z engine harness Also ordered myself a Walbro 450LPH fuel pump - Once that arrives then we have all of the parts required to complete the car Edited April 2, 2015 by Ian 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nissanman312 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 The brakes look awesome, a lot bigger than the Brembos I wanted Stoptechs all round but they were double the price although I did nearly come close to buying a set of Endless fronts but with 370mm disks I wasnt confident they would fit under my wheels what are those are they the same as the 370 or bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Update time Engine is pretty much done & should be back at the end of this week Popped up last night and took a few pics now that the suspension is settled. The front will drop a bit more once theres an engine in there Hopefully next week should see some real progress being made 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Happy for you fella........ It'll probably drop a little more. What suspension are you running? Chris, I could do with that encouragement on my thread........ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris, I could do with that encouragement on my thread........ I am helping to build yours so it's hopeless for you really To be fair you'e done more than 2 other companies put together in a FRACTION of the time. The hard part was the easy part, but still, in a weekend with modifications. These two farty companies couldn't organise an empty drawer!! Wednesday tomorrow - fingers crossed on a date for collection!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack wellZ Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Can't wait to see this finished, I'm now stuck between doing this or running a turbo setup on the vq but for the same price by the time you fully forge could probably do the swap???? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a TT setup would be cheaper 2jz prices are on the up unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I would prefer a forged vq than std internals 2jz, even if it did cost near similar. I wonder if Ian would have taken this route if he didnt already have the 2jz to hand?

If I didn't have a 2jz to hand this build would never have happened - I'd be driving a r33 gtr I've been quite lucky that I've managed to make a lot of money back by selling supra parts so I've not put that much of my own money into it. To do a basic 2jz swap your looking at around £12k and that's before brakes and suspension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Any plans to weigh the corners, see if the swap affects weight distribution, general overall weight Ian? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 No plans to do that. The 2JZ is heavier but nobody seems to be able to give a definitive answer as to how much heavier. I've spoken to a few guys in the middle east who have done the conversion & they reckon that the chassis handles it brilliantly so with my OTT suspension setup I'm hoping it will be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
