Nice built, but don't let this garbage clutch ruin your built, I have been giving this piece of shit 3 times in 3 different car, until I realize garbage is always garbage, can't be changed. You better invest a little bit more money into a good clutch rather than save money using that garbage.

This is what happen when I bought a r32 skyline with an F1 clutch not knowing...

I have an almost new ORC twin disc for a 1jz r154 combo if you're interested, I planned on using it as a back up since I'm not going to use my 1jz swap

ROUGE180

Curious as to what front mount setup you're going to use as I'm going to be doing this exact swap myself. I'll be following for sure.

Im running an ETS Intercooler (pictured in some of the older post) and all the piping will be custom by Godspeed Fabrication.

In regards to the clutch concerns. The 1jz version of this clutch uses all factory toyota parts except for the clutch disc itself. Its a factory pressure plate, bearings, etc. besides the recomendation from someone who has 43k on this same clutch setup and counting with a mild built 2j cressida, the use of the factory parts were the only reason I considered it. My power goals are not much more than 350 at the wheels so this should hold up just fine. I will also be using factory flywheel!

Picked up a ton if misc hardware from Tacoma Screw


Threw in the Grip Royal "Royal Trickle"...absolutly loving my interior right now. After repainting the interior metal + cage...

Just finished my 1jz vvti swap... made 300whp on the mustang dyno at 10lbs on the stock turbo... Oh, and made 160wtq more than my 318whp sr at 3000 rpm

Completely different car, 3rd gear roll @ 3000 rpm can break my 235/45/17 nitto invos at 1/4 throttle > you'll find out lol

awesome motor in an s chassis

Our Team Photographer (Jason Zimmer) came by over the weekend to shoot the progress as we installed SPL Suspension Links, put some bits and pieces back on the motor, etc.



We have partnered with SPL Suspension Parts for the 2013 Season and couldnt be more pumped about getting their links on this car. Everything that was on the car previously has been replaced with the newest version SPL Links, which was a pleasent surprise. The new versions include reinforcement tabs on the Clevis of each link and the SPL logo etched on. We didnt expect to receive their newest revision, as they just released them.


1JZ GTE VVTI getting some solid love in. We started reassembling the motor, we are still waiting on a few seals and some other odds and ends that should arrive this week. We picked up the pulleys from DriftMotion and we are running the Fluidampr Harmonic Balancer mentioned earlier from NissanParts.cc - The Damper has not been installed in these photos, but its on the motor right now.

Could you please give me the dimensions for the hole points on the bottom of the transmission mount,

I bought the same one for my W59 but I think they gave me a R154
Your help would be much appreciated

trekid

this is cool

DJZ

pretty cool build, but have you heard about a new rule they are making for fd which requires all the cars competing to have the same engine manufacturer as the cars manufacturer?

ryans523

awesome build, keep up the good work

NButtz

Build looks good Erich. Thanks for buying from Tacoma Screw, lol. I work there.

Izento

Oh nice, you have a build on Zilvia? Sorry to see the CA go, but it had a good run, now it's time to get competitive. Hopefully PGP opens up again and we could tandem. I look forward to the progress of your car.

On Saturday I was able to get my Suspension Pieces back from CT Specialties, who handles all of my powder coating. Ive decided to keep this car as clean and presentable as possible. Everything I dropped off received a gloss black treatement.




We figured it was time we stepped up this build thread and introduced a little eye candy for the ladies. Let me introduce to you - Dylan Evans. Its undeniable that the Nismo Power Brace looks superior in Black.



I was able to find someone locally to go through my transmission and install all of my new DriftMotion parts. Much to our surprise the old parts that came out were in very good shape.


5-Lug (finally)


We are proud to be working with Chase Bays as one of our 2013 Sponsors. Their products are very nice and we look forward to getting them fully installed with the engine in the bay. These should really improve the tidiness of the bay.



Sunday Morning came and we got the motor up on the engine hoist to install the flywheel and clutch, then we threw on transmission.


Cutting the locating tabs off of my Nismo Motor Mounts. Although, once the motor was dropped in we realized that the Nismo Mounts are a bit bulky to run. So, we either raise the motor or get new mounts, I want to keep everything as low as possible so I have ordered new mounts.


And this is how it sits currently. Such a relief to see this motor in my car. We still have a lot of work ahead of us, but now we can really get down to it.

Can I get a pic of the engine mounts as they sit now with the engine installed? What engine mounts did you use with the xcessive parts?

Any details on the silver paint code for the engine bay & cage/interior ?

I dig the build, keep going!

That would be a very stupid rule, I don't see that happening.
