Suprareal

Yeah it’s a awesome tool. I’m still practicing with it but the possibilities are almost endless with it

Thanks for all the positive comments !

Work picked up for a while and progress slowed down a little on the build but it’s all finished up now !

CNC designed and cut out my new gauge holders. ( Will be available soon on my website if anyone’s interested )


Interiors back together and thru in a new stereo while I had everything apart


For the shifter I utilized the stock boot and just cut it to fit and added a flap of rubber over the cut out section. Completely forgot to take a picture of it but here’s how it sits. No cutting of panels


One of the things I never really liked about the LS was the noise. It was obnoxiously loud. Was at the same time a cool factor but the drone inside got very annoying to me.
I knew I wanted the JZ to be super quiet besides being on wastegate
I’m running 3” stainless all the way back with a reducer into a small section that came on the muffler that’s 2.5” that goes back up to 2.75”. Which works perfect to tuck up under the subframe where room is limited.

The muffler is a giant Greddy with lots of baffling. Twice the size of the old Blitz.
The car is dead quiet ! Like quieter than stock.

CNC designed and cut out a wastegate garnish. ( will also be available on the website soon)


New logo that’ll be making its way onto more products

First test drive didn’t go great. Few bugs made their way out like one would expect. Nothing that wasn’t fixable and was back on its next test a couple days later



Now that the car was running great I drove it around normally in the neighborhood for a few miles monitoring the gauges and what not.
After seeing nothing but good signs I continued to drive harder not only on the motor but the suspension to test out the fab works design ( heavy braking, quick fast corners, etc)

Parked the car jacked it up to inspect the entire chassis and found my tension rod mount on the passenger side started to bend just enough to crack the paint. So I addressed that problem quick with a added gusset which meant grinding paint down, welding, and re painting ( with airbrush)

This was something I should have done originally but overlooked it but now all is fine !
Around 100 miles later and surprisingly nothing else has went wrong ! Car drives like a daily besides the heavy clutch.
Wish I could upload videos

Finally the cars “finished” for now. It really kicked my ass ! Fuel system and management will likely come sooner than later.



Will soon do a quick photo shoot on the car and upload lots of quality pics !

These heavy fabrication DIY/at home builds are the best and builds like yours solidify my decision to make a thread with my s14 when I pull it out of storage. Its awesome to see another garage fabricator getting it done! You should be really proud of your work. A lot of shops can't turn out this quality of work. Keep the fabrication updates coming!


.....where's your radiator cap?

RedSnow

looks fantastic! good job!

Suprareal

Thanks much appreciated !
I’m running Evans waterless coolant so there’s little to no expansion with it. A radiator cap isn’t actually needed in this application BUT there is one on the radiator Incase pressure does build up. I also made a custom cap that bolts onto the AN on the upper neck if I decide to later run regular coolant

Still running strong ! My walbro 255 gave out after 6-7 years of use. I replaced it with the e85 compliant walbro 450 for later hp goals.

Here’s a few better pics

Wow man looking good. Bump for you.

Suprareal

2 events on the JZ already and loving it


I had a problem with my work wheels hitting my tension rod and stressing the bolt so I came up with a bolt on brace solution


I’ve finally moved my business Defworx into a shop with a lift. Wishing I had this when building my cars !


Decided to make a new trans mount for myself since what i made before was meant to be temporary. This one I do sell on the website !

Your car is beautiful.

The quality of the work & fabrication is outstanding.

Stock axles weren’t cutting it anymore so I went ahead and did the 350z swap. This service is also something Defworx offers ! Just bolt up stock 350z axles after the service it’s that easy.

Hey maybe I missed it but whats your website? Im actually looking for a trans mount bracket at the moment for my swap and yours looks really good.

*Edit*

Nevermind i found it! For anyone else who may be interested
https://www.defworxshop.com/product/...smission-mount

Which mount are you using? Im looking up stock trans mounts for that tranny and im getting some weird results that dont match.

Thanks again! Truly inspiring build

Hey I think I got your order thanks !
My actual mount is just a eBay solid aluminum from stock ka/sr. They bolt right up to the CD trans. You can use any mount that style with my crossmember. Let me know if you have any more questions

Our local track AVS can really get a car dirty. Almost fitting it with the other Baja guys here haha

Hey what engine brackets and mounts are you using? Thinking I need something other than solid mounts this time around

Hey sorry for the late reply. The brackets are Defworx I make myself. The mounts themselves are just KA/SR ISR
