Thanks a lot guys!!! ^^

Since I started out with an N/A Z, I don't have a lot of the bullshit TT's have. Even with A/C and ALL of the stock amenities, my car felt good and was pretty nimble. SPL's race car, with a VQ, weighed in at around 2450 according to them.

ChicagoS14

Awesome car !!! This is like the car that I envisioned a while back. I always loved the Z, but wasnt a fan of the VG30DETT setup as it was complex, expensive and pretty cramped. I chose the 1JZ for my 240SX because its cheaper then a 2JZ or RB26 yet delivers more power capability then an RB25, you can say its almost like a 26. Plus the parts for Toyota engines are way easier to get here in the US. I have Toyota of Elmhurst down the street from me and they keep twin turbo parts in stock.

2450 is pretty light! Do you have hardtop? Was that even an option on any Z32?

IIRC there was a coupla Z32's with RB26's built a few years back.

Yeah they actually did!! I believe the stock hardtop weighed 3300! Same as a 350Z, and that's without removing the endless bullshit Z32's have.

Oh yeah, there's plenty of Z32's with RB's I know for a fact there are 5 in South Florida.

dorkjoey240

Is there alot space in the engine bay to work on your 1 jz?

So is that a yes or no on yours being a hardtop? Sorry if I some how missed it. Haha.

Also, I used to think RB's were good looking engines. They still are, but man I love the flat top symmetrical design of JZ's. Mega boners will be had upon completion!

Won't know until it's completely put together. Definitely easier than the VG.. lol

No I wish it was! haha

Thanks dude! And no, according to Formula D rules, NONE of the motors casing can go beyond the stock firewall

ka24debt

nice build! your gonna have room under that hood!

NismoTuner21

Finished stripping the interior



Then I washed and prepped the bay for paint, I used thin rhinoliner.






Put the motor back in to start mocking up wiring/cooling/fuel stuff.







Started prepping for the cage by removing the sound deadening where it was needed for the cage. I'll get the rest later when I have more time, I shaved 20 lbs just from the floor board!




Also removed a few brackets/bracing that were in the way of the cage.



Removed the windshield as well.



Getting rid of ALL of the stock ABS shit. Before, fluid was going from the BMC to the ABS pump in the back of the car, then to the front. I'll either go with stainless line or bend up some hardline and put a proportioner in between them for the new setup.



Did some tandem drifting racing with the haggard mcqeens, then it went off for le cageee!!

You still have any of the vg stuff left?

NismoTuner21

It's whatever I should be out there in a couple weeks.

Haha I will man!! I can't wait!

I don't get why so many people dislike them.

Sure do, I have a Mishimoto rad, ARC BOV kit (RARE!!), ALL of the stock TT piping, all of the stock TT A/C lines and a new TT condenser with like 1500 miles, short shifter, and stock turbos in great condition.

Rk3

I could really use the stock turbos since my car hasn't boosted since I got it lol. how much? And I don't really need them but how much for the bovs?

NismoTuner21

Ruh-roh...

vas570sx

Vie? And thanks!

Since the cars off getting the cage done, my buddy Jimmy and I finished up the missile. This car actually had no dent's or anything at the beginning of the day, but since it's rusty and has no title, it's a missile. lol






My buddy Jimmy who I shared the car with



More cage work..





Started mocking up the cooling stuff..
