Sorry if this post appears sloppy, I'm typing this on my phone. I'll get any/all requested pictures upon request, and if anyone needs more info let me know.


Okay, so I've had this coupe for several years, bought it as a rolling shell, had a built SR in it, and recently (this year) swapped an aristo 2JZ in it (map sensor, 440cc injectors, etc)
Engine had 40K kilometers when purchased (that's right, about 25k miles!)
But just as a precaution, I installed a new timing belt, new tensioner, replaced the cam seals, replaced the crank seal, installed new valve cover gaskets (along with all new valve cover grommets) installed a brand new water pump, deleted the twin turbo VSV's (so the turbos run in parallel instead of sequential).

Anywho, I'll try and be as descriptive as possible.
Chassis is a gun metal gray 1992 SE coupe, has power locks/windows/sunroof, also has JDM power folding mirrors installed. Has a factory spoiler, and maroon hood. The clear is fading on the top (and the hood is maroon anyways) so it could use paint for sure, though there's no major body damage anywhere (has a few small dings here and there, and the rear quarters popped in some when I rolled the fenders). It has a mint HUD windshield (the kind with the reflective material built into the glass), I have an aftermarket Defi HUD installed. Dash has a few cracks in it, but I have a flocking kit so the buyer could repair/flock the dash if he/she wishes. Basically the only thing that works on my HUD cluster is the fuel level gauge (I never bothered getting Dakota digital converter boxes)

Interior has no carpet and headliner, but the rest is there. I have a safety21 rear half cage installed, and cut the rear panels to fit. Also have kouki s14 rear sears installed (mainly so the rear half doesn't look ugly lol). Driver's seat is an SPL full bucket seat coupled with a NAMS super low seat rail and a sabelt harness. Passenger side is a TAS full bucket on a junyan rail, with a momo harness.

There's SAFCII installed (I just use it for tach though, haven't messed with tuning it at all), also note the HUD I have installed displays RPM as well.

Engine has basic bolt ons (front mount, intake, exhaust), running on about 15 psi (controlled by a gizzmo electronic boost controller). Engine has mishimoto low temp thermostat, dual flex a lite fans, and a large koyo radiator. Has solid poly motor mounts, chase bays fuel line kit, chase bays power steering kit, custom solid trans mount (cut the rubber out of the stock mount and welded in metal in its place). Running an r154 with modified shifter housing, has an evolution lightweight aluminum flywheel with arp flywheel bolts and a lock ring for the bolts (so you don't have to worry about them coming loose), and has an action 6 puck clutch (good for 500hp). Has a custom one piece drive shaft made by a local shop here (Maksymyks). Shimmed viscous differential. The r154 was rebuilt with billet marlin crawler parts, so you don't have to worry about 1st and second exploding like most r154s! haha

Car is sitting on brand new fortune auto 500's (haven't driven the car since I installed them). Has custom front super steering angle knuckles, along with modified aftermarket LCA's, and cusco tension rods.

Wheels are (all wheels legit; 3 piece!)
Front: volk rays vrx-10 (17x9j+10) stretched 205/40 Achilles that were purchased about two months ago (maybe 20 miles total on them)

Rear: work meshies (not sure of brand, never seen any like them with 40 hole barrels) 17x9+11, on federal 595ss (also 205/40/17).
Rear rims are 4/5 lug, fronts are straight 5 lug. Front has r33 gtst calipers, and 5 lug conversion (calipers painted a nice purple/color changing color). I have the matching rear set also, just haven't installed them yet (so yes, 5 lug up front, 4 lug in the rear).

The harness was trimmed of all unneeded wiring, and I built a simple jumper harness for it (would look much better if the passenger fuse box was relocated and/or deleted)

I'm sure there's a ton of stuff I'm forgetting, so I'll add more info as I come across it.

Not really sure how to price it, since I've never come across another 2jz s13 coupe in person, so I'll start at 11k OBO, but would really like to trade someone in Canada for an rhd Toyota (jzx81/90/100). I'll worry about the details when I get it here, just drive across the border and meet me and we can trade! Lol
Would also be willing to trade for something 4 door and AWD (evo, subaru) or something like a badass IS300, maybe even GS300/400

I'll post up pics ASAP! PM if you have any questions or need more info, or would like to take a ride in it with me.

Here's a video I just took of it running too, in case anyone was curious. I'll try and get a daytime video of it up tomorrow, maybe even a cruising video.
Yeah it's dark and you can't see much, but just so you can hear it and get the idea :)

And yeah I might be interested in the g!
This weekend I'm gonna show my car some love and start making it even more awesome. Should be getting full paint/aero soon too, so I'll update this thread accordingly. Also I'm going to start adding some of the build pictures too, so you can see all the goodies this thing has.

Never bothered making one, since you have to be a premium member for the in progress builds and I wasn't sure how long it would take haha. I tried to document most of it, but most of the time I was just doing it little by little on nights and my days off

Drove on it today for the first time with the FA500's, feels pretty amazing! Took a little video too with my iphone, needless to say, I need to have my girlfriend ride with me so she can film and it can be safe haha, pretty tough doing it by yourself! >_<. Also, that's a Defi VSD Basis, since I'm sure someone will ask haha. Reads speedo too (that's what the flashing blue leds are), only reason it's blinking like that is because I don't have my marlin crawler vss wired up yet.

Also, about to upload like 20 pictures of the "build" so to speak (though there's some randoms in there too)

Hopefully no one minds that it's down here, and not in the OP (I know there's a picture limit, hopefully I don't exceed it!)

Bought the this coupe as a shell in 2010 after another one of my coupes got totaled out by a drunk driver.
http://i48.tinypic.com/fup8qu.jpg

Sprayed the engine bay with a black basecoat, and loads of rainbow flake (so much, that it looks gray when the light isn't reflecting on it) Also, note that this was over 2 years ago, and I've had an SR and then my 2j in and out a few times, so it's not as "pristine"
http://i49.tinypic.com/71jzwy.jpg

Said SR (externally gated factory manifold setup coupled with a greddy t517z turbine):
http://i49.tinypic.com/ztyi6d.jpg
http://i50.tinypic.com/34gkhae.jpg

2jz! (brand new JZ bellhousing) and ugly factory pullies
http://i47.tinypic.com/30mwzzd.jpg
http://i47.tinypic.com/v4c95g.jpg

Changed the OEM pullies out in favor of the lightweight driftmotion ones, also did the timing belt/crank seal/cam seals/water pump
http://i49.tinypic.com/nysgg2.jpg

Replaced the valve cover gaskets/spark plugs/valve cover grommets/pcv hoses, then went ahead and painted the valve covers a nice rainbow flake lime green.
http://i50.tinypic.com/2zyd0f6.jpg
Wet sanded the valve covers to make them a nice subtle-shiny-flaky-green haha
http://i46.tinypic.com/2w6fq6b.jpg

Made sure the spark plug cover got flake too so it'd match:
http://i46.tinypic.com/2qizolx.jpg


all back together with fresh paint:
http://i50.tinypic.com/dq3b0h.jpg

Action stage 3 clutch disc/cover, evolution lightweight flywheel (11.5 lbs), ARP flywheel bolts (with sealant, so no oil leaks), evolution flywheel bolt locking ring, brand new slave cylinder, brand new throw out bearing.

Flywheel goodness:

In the car, now to start fabbing stuff up:
http://i48.tinypic.com/vi0d3m.jpg

Custom one piece driveshaft by Maksymyks in Fort Walton Beach (everything brand new, with the exception of the r154 slip yoke)
http://i49.tinypic.com/2sb1teb.jpg

Random picture of the Stance GR+'s I had on my car (now have FA500, but so you can see the fancy R33 brakes and the nice purple color shifting paint)
http://i50.tinypic.com/2qwhchd.jpg

Was moving, so had other stuff to do, went to formula drift in atlanta in May, took a random picture with a cooper tires girl (notice my FBGM shirt)
http://i45.tinypic.com/24vqt6w.jpg

Gave an FBGM shirt to Robbie Nishida while in Atlanta. He leaves and goes to Formula D in Malaysia, and guess what shirt he rocks:
http://i45.tinypic.com/vseu5f.png

Broke one of my DMAX outer tie rods, got a custom knuckle/flca setup from another member on here (along with brand new PBM inner CrMo hard tie rods); quicker steering, adjustable roll center (by use of spacers, same with the tie rods)
http://i48.tinypic.com/2lmryb7.jpg


Another break; chopped my friend's (Yokotavia) 92 mx83 in 5 separate pieces, because junk car (he got Ameen Rizvi's old chassis, so this one got scrapped)
http://i48.tinypic.com/nod6ci.jpg

Put some brand new achilles on the front (17x9j volks with 205/40 tires)
http://i50.tinypic.com/mta6ih.jpg

Finally finished all the wiring, got the car fired up for the first time July 12th of this year (gotta love map sensor, and excuse the mess, I was stoked it was running and had to film it haha)

2jzs13firststart (http://tinypic.com/r/fwnhnd/6)

Installed circuit sports carbon fiber hood dampers
http://i47.tinypic.com/2nktglx.jpg

And here we are today (literally, 12/15)
Was gonna try and drive with the new FA500's, then realized I was a hell of a lot more slammed than I thought! (from was maybe half an inch of the ground, and I STILL have room to go lower with these coilovers! >_<)

Also, really wanting to get an is250/350 now, so will sell for $9000!

Why on earth would you trade an s600 for an s13??? Lmao best part is noone is even considering this, or that other guys BMW 745.... Talk about drift tax!!! I thought kanye wanted to make a Benz out of that Datsun, not the other way around..

Anyway free bump for you op.. Glws.. And if it was me id take the s600 and pull mad bitches and smoke blunts while cruising down the i95... But to each his own lol
