Bens jzx100

[Ben1j]

Hi guys names Ben from Auckland.
I own a jzx100 just standard auto 1jz on adjusties and rims
My mods I plan to do will be stick a 1jz gte in it and hopefully a manual conversion but I don't know a heap about chasers so might have to wait for that one cause seems like a mind fuck
I joined the forum to gain knowledge about these cars and meet other people that think chasers are sicko

Will put up pics when I figure out how

Your best bet is to import a factory manual front cut, that way you will have everything needed for the conversion.

Nice, OEM aero and a clean base to build a decent streeter. How well do these go with a non turbo engine? Being a heavy car id imagine it would take a bit longer to build speed vs the gte JZX100.

[Ben1j]

Thanks mate. it does take a little bit to get it moving which you do notice but once it's going it's quite quick. The vvti helps a bunch but definatly need a turbo set up which I will be looking into very soon. Is the manual conversion as hard as they say it is?

[m989]

I converted my tourer V in my spare time and it took a week or so. Some have done it in a weekend though. Hardest part is getting at the gearbox bolts!!

[Ben1j]

Is it easier to just throw the engine and gearbox in at once?

[m989]

Yeah it probably would be. To get at some of the gearbox bolts you need to tip the front of the motor up and use a combo of universal joints and extension bars. If you do end up doing the gearbox separately, id advise to use a hoist rather than axle stands as you want to be able to fit underneath the car comfortably with the gearbox on a jack to lift it into place.

Here is a video of Rasty in Japan converting a JZX100 in record time!

Damn that's crazy. Are there any shops in auckland that know a bit about jzx's? Because I'm not a mechanic I reckon the whole conversion might be a bit much
