JZX NZ

Yea now the car is wrapped up in a carcoon for the next two years so now its a good chance to buy all the gear i need and hit it all when it comes out of retirement. It's been moved to the middle of the desert and there's no way I'm letting the sand get the best of this car.

Haha cheers bro, shes not far off "being done" haha

Here are some shots of the car on the way to its new living location http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m34/dangerousjzx110/jzx110%20Mark%202%20AEMVZ/DSC_0366_zpsxkbrv5wv.jpg http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m34/dangerousjzx110/jzx110%20Mark%202%20AEMVZ/DSC_0381_zpstf0rfhng.jpg http://i100.photobu...

Have been meaning to give the car a good wash and get some shots (even though the front still isnt painted) but have just moved into a new house so things have been on the back burner for a while. Although i will get a heap of time next week to give it a wash, clay bar, polish and wax so that will d...

So today the dynamatting went good. I know people say its a waste and everyone has their own way of doing but this i how and why i did it. Firstly the why. At some rpm the car vibrates like a bastard and it doesn't have any effect on me but the mrs cant stand it so..... Apply dynamat to at least cha...

Yea there's a guy in Melbourne making 350 on the 6boost mani and a Tomei turbo boosting at 3500rpm not 4000+ then again e is also running a pretty new motor after he blew a bearing not that long ago

If you do replace it would you consider maybe a 6boost manifold? Kyle at 6boost makes a 25 or 30mm manifold to suit the factory location cheaper than most other options for the jzx apart from second hand stock.

Just a quick thought on the tomei rebuild, any plans to convert it to ball bearing or just the service kit and new journal gear? All the guys I've read/seen all just rebuild the journal but surely a BB conversion would be about the same cost as a rebuild.

wow nicely done. This seems to be more and more common now with these units. A few mates here in Adelaide have sent theirs off for the same thing.

You say rebuild but are you really meaning HKS replacement?

If you want to have a look at a motor that has the 1.5jz on a vvti set up have a look at the magician jzx110 thats stroked out to 3.2 for memory. 2j bottom end. Just be wary that the 2jz block is 20-25mm higher than the 1jz block
