sup, how much did you pay for wiring?

EuroTrash727 · 04-17-2011, 03:53 AM

Sick ! anything with a 2jz build is always what i like to see.
Me & my buddy Are currently in the process of putting a 2j in his s2k.
Cant wait to see it finish!

Ok so I've got a little bit of an update..went to a free parts day and grabbed some stuff.

Got pop-out windows for the rears

A deck lid spoiler (not sure if i'm mounting it or not...not a reference to the penis drawn on the window FYI)

And got a new set of kidney grills

Also ordered some euro smiley projector headlights to clean up the front end a bit.
Also here's a picture of the newest addition to our shop, it should help out a lot along the way!

so....couldn't keep waiting around for wiring before i made some more progress so here it is...

Engine is in to check clearances and take measurements for a driveshaft and intercooler piping/exhaust!

also installed the clutch/ flywheel and transmisson

shifter location is close

oil pan clearance

little bit of room for a rad

ride height with weight of engine/ tranny

And on a less exciting note, I decided to mount the decklid spoiler and the rear window carpet section

Sleeper apeal

So i got some depo smiley projectors and installed some h.i.d's a while ago and never bothered to post about it...so here are some pictures (they dont do it any justice)

EuroNut · 07-05-2011, 11:52 AM

Ok so this project should have been done by now and I'd love to have some updates for you...however.. I sent both my wiring harnesses out in december to have a plug and play conversion harness made. It's been paid for and I've heard good things about the craftsmanship of these harnesses.

The problem is that since April in 2 week intervals i receive an email from the shop saying that they will send it out "friday"...at the rate it's going I'm not going to see my wiring again this year and have lost ALL motivation...what am I supposed to do?

FunfGang · 07-05-2011, 12:25 PM

Sorry to hear about that last bit, but great work so far man. A 1jz/ 1.5jz/ 2jz swap has always been the plan for my car, so this thread should help when the time comes around. And btw, If you want the look of those Hyashi's, but w/ the proper lug pattern and better sizing, check out the Rota Shakotan(see my sig and all the pics ive posted before, im a whore

). Again, cant wait to see this finished.

EuroNut · 07-05-2011, 02:19 PM

Thanks dude, And i've noticed your car rocking the rota's. Looks good!

FunfGang · 07-05-2011, 04:02 PM

Thanks man, I appreciate it. Good luck w/ the project!

Where did you get that master cylinder setup?

Hey man, I own a E21 316 and I'm really thinking of going 1JZ-GTE or 7M-GTE, and since our cars are really alike this might be really handy to me. Did you just use the stock Supra gearbox(R154)? And what kind of propshaft and Diff are you running? I'm thinking of using all supra parts to keep the ratios the same and such. interested to see what you used. My plans are about a year away from actually doing them, but I'm in preparation!

I used the r 154 transmission, and a 325i medium diff for now..Next year the diff is going to get rebuilt with a good 2 way lsd and some 600hp axles. feel free to pm me any questions you have along the way

EuroNut · 07-14-2011, 08:08 PM

Ok so i have a little update for you guys...
Charge pipes are all done
Catch can is mounted in position
Driveshaft is made (mustang 5L driveshaft with custom 1310 ends)
and a surprise!

This is sacrilege!

thanks dude. lol at the purists..but he's right, it's super nose heavy.
The only thing that I can hope for is that with a 17 Gal fuel cell slightly behind the rear wheels, and the right suspension components (still to come) I can counteract all the extra weight in the front.
