Nice build mate, love the work on the exhaust!
bought some more parts, can't wait to go drifting again
A31 Cefiro front anti roll bar, ultra racing 27mm
Super pro Front anti roll bar drop links and bushes
ultra racing front 27mm D poly bushes
super pro polybush rear anti roll bar D bushes
super pro rear drop links and poly bushes
also bought a stock rear anti roll bar (18mm) and then had it blasted and powdercoated along with all D bush brackets
conceptua tuning gave me an awesome deal on the roll bar parts and some other engine bits i've ordered for something else
unforutnately i got ripped off £80 just for powdercoating the roll bar, i'm not going back there again!

http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...ps4mhupco5.jpg
everything is absoltuely covered in grease and the superpro supplied grease, i'm very much against leaving things dry and prone too failure
plus it means next time you come to work on it, you just wipe the grease off and the threads/bushes are like brand new underneath, for example, my alignment last month!

the a31 rb cefiro anti roll bar clears the 1jz front sump fully, i did have too trim down two brace brackets on the nismo style front bar however it still has the solid bar fitted so no difference there really
also had to reduce my steering lock, thankfully i'd thought about this when making the front end, the lock stops were easy, just undone the two 22mm nuts and unscrewed the lock stops forward so the wheels don't hit the new roll bar
it has been a great weekend, i took the car out for a run afterwards and it's quite different now, it certainly stays more level now
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pssk3nvpgb.jpg
also this week a spare kouki rear bumper turned up which i have planned to get repainted as mine has a few marks
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pslw6foyua.jpg
--------------------
so i'm starting a new project, a new engine, some fun basically to get going in my spare time.
the plan is to have an engine with some better down low power, spools the turbo quciker and is 100% reliable and fresh
new piston rings, new head gasket, new cams, new gaskets everywhere etc
bought a new block, more info on this later
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psngh2bobu.jpg
started stripping my spare 1jz head
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pstxjwz4bi.jpg
took it down to a local head shop
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psvfnir2pa.jpg
along with some new stem seals, (24 in total)
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pscqrozl3a.jpg
all valve guides are nice and tight, he said the only bad bit was one valve was showing sign of burning the seat, you can see it in this pic
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pshbkas4zx.jpg
so 24 valves cleaned, polished, shimmed and reground later, and 24 new stem seals
the head had 7thou remvoed and resurfaced
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...ps105tv5my.jpg
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psvdsm0vxy.jpg
P.S THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CURRENT ENGINE! this is just a bit of a fun side project
bought some ep racing bonnet spacers, seen them on a few comp cars and decided that funciton>form, not a huge fan of how they look but if they work then they are staying
next option is a vented dmax bonnet
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psppbadgwp.jpg
repaired my wind deflector which snapped in half at finalboss on track, used tiger seal and found a perfect method of holding it still haha
not sure why or how but the broken off half was found by one of the staff there, many thanks to that dude! can't remember your name sorry :(
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psx5clw0ie.jpg
also got round to putting the original Q's badges back on, hopefully they will stay on and won't get slapped off by a tyre haha
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psb1uwrjik.jpg
new 235/40/17 federal 595 rsr tyres bought from mytyres.com for the front
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psivnovacy.jpg
on and balanced
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psavkhetql.jpg
bought a 350z steering pump
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psj9ypjvlv.jpg
and some cnc made brackets from steven donnelly at diemax, great guy and very helpful! highly recommend him!
these retain the stock location of the power steering pump but using the 350z pump, so i didn't even have to change my aux belt
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pswpsfd45l.jpg
installed, i just had to change the position of my fuel pipe since the feed pipe is slightly different now and the fuel rail AN fitting i used was originally made around the old pump
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psmrfyizjc.jpg
rolled her outside and started the car
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psb1pdksgw.jpg
filled with fresh new steering fluid as i'd drained the system
unfortunately my japspeed radiator had cracked along the bottom tank, it was spraying water onto the aux belt and causing it to squeak
that was the end to my weekend, i had arranged to go drifting on sunday too :( so the saturday was a massive disapointment for me after doing all that work on the car with the roll bars, new tyres etc then this....
koyo rad ordered through auto extreme, which also means i now have to make a new front pannel as it was made around the s13 japspeed rad which isn't as wide as the koyo one
got my 1jz rocker covers back with 2xan10 breathers welded on, one hole blocked off by the turbo
also a 22mm pipe welded into the alloy sump for the drain
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psdfvue4ri.jpg
thanks to auto extreme, my koyo rad arrived :) also ordered a koyo rad cap, unfortuantely they don't supply you with a new cap!
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psvnknnw1x.jpg
fitting was a bit of a nightmare due to the old japspeed rad being smaller, the new front rad pannel had to be redone
chopped off what was there, cut slits into the existing pipe and bent it further forward to gain more angle, then paul it welded back up
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pshd7pthow.jpg
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...ps9rwqgo5s.jpg
then cut out a small piece on each side and welded the gaps, this allowed the rad to come properly forward this time
welded shut the gaps then sprayed to prevent rust
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psmnjsfn0x.jpg
getting there
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...ps0erwlvay.jpg
tacked rad mounts in place before fully welding
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psaniyxgsa.jpg
top hose done, i have ordered a mkiv supra radiator hose kit to see if that will work better and just have one silicone top pipe rather than a join
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psmopp4iij.jpg
was missing the lower part of my mk3 supra fan shroud so paul shaped a piece of aluminium to fit
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psufn3upgz.jpg
oil cooler mounts welded back on and it just needs painted now
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psh9asp5fm.jpg
this time with a fan shroud :D
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pspird8szu.jpg
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...ps4rhx4lis.jpg
unfortunately i had to miss out on the november 1st skid day at driftland as i bought a car the weekend before
so all my spare money/drift fuel money was used on the car and transport tickets to england and fuel all the way back to scotland for my new daily
got myself a 4.1 ratio diff and had it welded
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psmx5oq8wl.jpg
then painted the casing silver, also put in new oil and sealed on the backplate
also put in some driftworks solid front diff bushes
the next thing i'd wanted to do was black out my headlights like i had done on my first s14a 5 years ago
used a bosch heat gun and made them toasty hot to break the sealant, then pulled them apart which was quite tricky
took out the screws and removed the chrome insets and painted them
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psjegxla8s.jpg
did the same to the sidelights, these are a bit harder as they are all plastic as opposed to the headlights, so more chance of bending them out of shape
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psbpgal3eg.jpg
all i need to do is reheat them back up for refitting and i'll also be adding a bead of tiger seal around them before i push them back together
i've also ordered a pair of +25mm vented front wings from kinzuru kits
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pstctp0l2e.jpg
--------------------------
bought red lense tint spray and done the amber corners on the back lights
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pspuf4cj16.jpg
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psdbdlvhgn.jpg
just need to add a light layer of black over them
bought new gauges from demon tweeks, 2 SPA designs 52mm half and half gauges
one is water temp / battery voltage
other is oil pressure / temprature
all come with new sensors / loom
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psjkd3xdwq.jpg
bought an inline rad hose fitting and put the new water temp sensor in there
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psmcezld0o.jpg
changed the water neck on the engine and used the old oem 90 degree bend i had for my other head, (looking for one of these if anyone has one for sale)
also renewed the O rings in the water pump return top pipe and put a new gasket in behind it against the head....£3.19 plus vat per washer :S
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pshm468m9n.jpg
then a new supra 2jz top rad hose which had to be cut down to fit
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psrainixsu.jpg
since the tiger seal was out for the headlights i thought now would be a good tinme to do the bung on my rear window
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psr0zkvuvf.jpg
then the black front lights
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pse8kww02v.jpg
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...ps4ihxhb4t.jpg
unforutnately the car sat like this during the wait for my new front wings....
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psn11jqo0a.jpg
after alot of chasing and so on, turns out they were behind on production, i couldn't wait as i had to get wings on the car for a test fit / drop them off to paint / refit them back onto the car in time for a photographer
one quick call to EP racing, within 24 hours they were here :)
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pscfh6cc7f.jpg
dropped them off at stevie's on friday night, went to collect them at 8am sunday looking like this.....
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...ps6sfv08pa.jpg
can't thank stevie b enough! match is perfect and paint is perfect as usual....so good of him to squeeze them in with such a short notice of time!
rushed home to get them on the car as i only had two hours spare on sunday to get things 100% for monday's photo session
------------------------------------
monday 30th nov 2015 :D banzai shoot day!
I arrived nice and early to get everything setup and the car cleaned again
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pssz9c8ogu.jpg
photographs were taken by Steve McCann, nice fella and will be doing my wedding next year too which is cool
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...ps4zdzbnhq.jpg
I won't be posting any of his pics as they will belong to banzai for copyright reasons until the mag has been out / off the shelf
no date when it will be in as it's just up to the editors whenever they fancy using it so i'll just be keeping an eye out for it
all i can say is i'm over the moon :)
number plate ain't real.... ;)
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psv4xjkwd3.jpg
shots continued into the evening/sunset
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psmfs7fa0k.jpg
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psyu8ylxib.jpg
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psdwzptdf5.jpg
anyway, for now, the car is stored in the garage all nice and warm for winter coming
2016 will be good! hopefully save up and get a good chunk of this 2jz done early on and also try my hand at scottish drift championship for some fun :) see if i can get past the licensing day
Steves a fantastic photographer, and the car looks spot on :)
love it mate. one of my favourite builds on the forum. been looking forward to seeing your results of the rear lights and they've turned out awesome :thumbs:, think Ill be doing the same to mine if you don't mind ha. can't wait to see the pics from the shoot too. looks amazing with everything all back together ;)
i'll upload better pics of the lights for you to see :) sure haha! on you go, I think they look best without orange!! I was going to get the dmax led rear lights but didn't have the spare money in time for the shoot
recaro seats are now for sale, £550
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pshtg7xmpj.jpg
What seats you replacing these with?
recaro's are now sold :)
I've got a fixed back cobra suzuka s for the time being as I want to eventually buy a bimarco futura seat from the company in Poland
the cobra was a good price, I originally bought it for the rails but ended up making it fit onto my bride rail as it was a bit lower :D
bought this (thanks mike)
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pslr5lidap.jpg
and modified my bride basemount rail to fit as a temp solution
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...ps2dffi1ln.jpg
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...ps4kh0sck7.jpg
sold the black recaro recliners i had that were in the car, they are great seats but i wanted something more supportive and it made sense to get some cash back out of them
not much to post tbh, car hasnt came out the garage since the banzai shoot....saving money just now for the new engine build :)
swapping cylidner heads with my mate steve with a 1jz fd rx7 as my head has been skimmed and had new stem seals put in, so he is giving me his old head plus some money as i've had a change of plans for the head
going to have steve's 1j head ported out and bench tested to get as much gain as possible :) that way it wont mean tearing down a fully built head + possibly skimming it again for no reason
i did however pick up a new timing belt 2jz oem toyota kit
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psthlw8ilb.jpg
also ordered a genuine toyota 1jz head gasket kit which has new stem seals, new rocker gaskets etc etc
and the last thing i've bought is a new crank pulley from toyota....yeah for those who know about them :S they aren't cheap from main dealer!
so hopefully that's the last of the toyota parts i've had to order and i can focus on getting the actual block and head done now
currently have a stock s14 seat in the passenger side now, keeping my eyes open on the forums for a cheap black recliner bucket seat
oem crank pulley
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psre2ph8lt.jpg
got steve's head as we've done an swap plus money my way to cover me for the work done on previous head
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...ps0yeilmxm.jpg
oem toyota head set turned up, head gasket, valve stem seals, intake manifold gasket, every o ring in the engine, front and back crank seals, exhaust manifold gaskets, rocker cover gaskets, rocker cover stud gaskets and so on
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...ps9doxcecm.jpg
2jz timing belt kit turned up, my new toyota part collection is getting bigger! almost finished with ordering parts though which is good
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pszmi0htw9.jpg
lay the 264 cams in the head and gently bolted them in
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psz4jxyhux.jpg
i made a box for posting the head and it's now sent down to a specialist down south for a massive job list to be done, mainly porting the chambers and polishing etc, blueprinting/port matching
i think there will be good gains to be had, especially seeing how much material there is to remove
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psfs9dpjne.jpg
my wood work skills aren't up too much! however the box is strong enough to protect the cylinder head
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psbzwkxnef.jpg
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psnemz9jzl.jpg
also 2/6 oil squirters showed up for the GE block
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pswzagadsg.jpg
-----------------------------------------
not much to update really, been collecting parts and getting organised
two cam sensors, one new crank sensor, one water temp ecu sensor and a thermostat
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psr9kgsyyc.jpg
6x oil squirter bolts arrived from japan
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psv1eizwjk.jpg
ordered some brian crower titanium retainers and valve springs from conceptua, I wish i'd planned this earlier as i could have gone up a cam size
swapped some parts for another front sump, this is an original jzx90 with factory oil return flange, started cleaning it up
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psuosmykbt.jpg
oil squirters finally showed up, again some missing but heh never mind, i ordred two sets as i've got a set for a friend
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psnbxvc0uv.jpg
also a new water neck from a vvti this time, this only has one water outlet for a turbo so if the new turbo i buy needs water cooled, i'll take it from there
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pswzwebqi9.jpg
as for now, my head is still down at the head shop and will be there for a while
monday i plan on taking my block to get machined for squirters :)
have a provisional buyer for my current setup which i'm relying on bringing in money so i'll find out what's happening there once he updates me
can't remember if i posted this earlier or not but the block is now at mac motorsport in dundee, marcin has the blocks machined out to match a 2jz gte and will have a full set of oil squirters, full oil gallery work done and the oil feed machined so they are identical to a gte block in every way
he's supplying all the parts for the build from real street performance in america for the bottom end, bar the oil squirters, pumps and seals which i already have
current 1jz setup is now sold, not removed from the car yet but the buyer is happy to wait as he stll has a little bit left to pay up
stripped the pistons off the GE rods, these are the strongest version of the rods toyota made for the 2jz and they are staying as marcin said they can handle up to 800hp ish which is fine for my application
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psaarag3dk.jpg
thanks robyn at conceptua for the rapid delivery on the arp head studs :D
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pshk6dmqzg.jpg
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psuge0wg2o.jpg
while on the phone, i'd also ordered a set of brian crower tianium valve retainers and stiff sprigns
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...ps7vp9z5oa.jpg
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pspedspxhv.jpg
got my spare gold e wings sprayed silver for the time being, couldn't find anyone who can mirror polish them so it'll do for now
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pshcrh5dfg.jpg
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psgwbccbel.jpg
went through with the decision to run a bmw diesel gearbox, this is the 5 speed 330d gearbox kit from clarke motorsport in aberdeen, designed by marcin i believe
twin plate clutch and comes with all the adapters needed to run on the back of the 1/2jz block
rated to 850bhp from memory :D more than enough
will drive ace too since it's a twin plate
was not cheap however this setup will be awesome when done
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psmonbsixh.jpg
then came the bmw 330d gearbox, got it from a breakers yard but unfortunately turned up with a dead propshaft doughnut, a un-usable front prop section and a broken gear selector.....typical
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pslgmppanw.jpg
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psr8hbxrky.jpg
gear selctor is away being repaired now by tig welder paul
the dead prop bushing is fit for the bin....bought a new bilstien one for £100
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psjbuuhjpo.jpg
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psypniop9r.jpg
bought another bmw propshaft for the 330d box, new prop doughnut on that now and it's ready to go onto the gearbox and be chopped to size to meet the rear half of the s14 :D
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psjaw2tmir.jpg
been ordering some more parts from japan, this time i've ordered sard 800cc injectors and have them as 'drop in' fitmenet for the factory fuel rail
however, been told by the supplier that sard have them on back order until end of april, so i'll have to wait
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pso9c31vag.jpg
i did buy a top feed rail but in the end decided side feed drop in ijectors will do for now unless the car is having issues during mapping/making power
marcin sent me this picture of the bottom end parts that have arrived for my/other 2jz bottom ends he's building just now (one being for my mate cam's jzx100)
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...ps6yhnfzvb.jpg
getting excited now!
got this for the front of the engine once it's complete
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pse42pykf2.jpg
also looking at doing a dual feed on the stock rail to keep fueling equal and not risk starving the injectors at the return end of the rail
so the theory is, drill into the center of the rail and have a return made
going to use this extended an6 fitting so it'll be easily accessable even when the intake manifold top half is on
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...ps2hpnyhnf.jpg
just taken delivery of teflon braided an6 hose, 3m length and also a few an6 fittings/m14x1.5 conversion fittings as i'm going to redo the full power steering system pipework when the new engine goes in
Marcin has sent me some pics of the block progress, it's now ready for collection so i'm heading down in a few days to collect it
my and my mate cam's blocks
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psyudnzyro.jpg
block machined to have gte oil squirters and the gte oil feed on the side for the turbo
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pspaufv7gc.jpg
my new toyota squirters and bolts in
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psrb9va1cb.jpg
my crank back in with the oem bolts and caps with new ACL bearings
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psrglqpbku.jpg
forged 8:5:1 ratio cp pistons onto the stock strongest 2jz rods from the non vvt n/a block
(compression should be around 9 with the 1j head)
reason for not going forged rods is that marcin's advice was stock rods are good for 800hp+ which i won't be near
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psme5dpi9a.jpg
pistons in :D
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psdvcwoevo.jpg
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psw24sefol.jpg
my precision turbo has arrived at marcin's, however the turbo housing on the back was the wrong size so it's being exchanged
went for the gen2 dual ball bearing 5858 model with a .6 t3 housing on the rear, 4" inlet and 2.5" air output
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pso4s4bibe.jpg
my 6boost manifold has turned up thanks to wayne at autoextreme, i bought this on the group buy at the start of the year
t3 twin scroll, dual 40mm wastegate outputs and the 32nb pipe diameter
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psy0kcghd0.jpg
the collector is well done
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pshkhnqgmc.jpg
along with that came two new turbosmart 40mm external wastegates
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pss8tfgro6.jpg
so right now i'm waiting on my head from bret sims motorsport, my sard injectos from nengun (which are on back order)
and marcin is supplying the ecu+sensors+universal loom to be made up from emu ecumasters
one of these: http://www.ecumaster.co.uk/products/...anagement-unit
collected the block at the start of the week
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...ps2vg84t47.jpg
oil feed holes machined just the same as the 2jz gte
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pszb4d4lhc.jpg
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pseaoxugh8.jpg
cylinders look in great condition after a hone
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psathqfu3e.jpg
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pslzy1gve6.jpg
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pss0pqr1ya.jpg
also picked up the ecu at the same time
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pscil8eonz.jpg
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psmdrppqrm.jpg
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pswzdj58mb.jpg
paid extra for the bluetooth sensor to run live data on your mobile phone or tablet,
2m universal loom
the nox sensor,
new coil pack clips for new style coils,
oil pressure sensor
i'm now waiting on marcin to get delivery of the air intake temp sensor for the throttle body side i/c pipe and oil temp sensor which will go into the oil pan/sump
going on marcin's recomendations on coil pack upgrade, i've bought 6x bosch fiat turbo coil packs, part no 0221 504 024, they have built in igniters so i don't need to run the box anymore
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...ps5jhmyr4q.jpg
ordered a new AEM/K&N filter which is HUGE!
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psr123vhcf.jpg
and for now lastly the fuel system parts are starting to roll in, AN8 ultraflow torques 90 degree fittings, a few -8an weld on fittings and some -8am ptfe teflon fuel pipe
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...ps1cwu9te2.jpg
That's a fair pile of parts mate, like to keep yourself busy! Good work
picked up the bmw competition clutch twin plate kit with conversion flywheel and the bel housing adapter plate
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...ps8dmaolgb.jpg
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pstmlic02h.jpg
got that from clark motorsport in Aberdeen, good guys! worth a shout!
bought this aeromotive fpr from marcin, just need to get fittings for it now
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psmunmfebn.jpg
also while I was collecting the fpr, I purchased this TIAL 50mm blow off valve
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psvbnt9k9f.jpg
and just some turbo pics because I'm excited to fit it :P
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psrqqbc1zw.jpg
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psr6gqowll.jpg
the head shop are waiting on new valve guides for my head to arrive, then it'll have all 24 valve seats cut and a skim then out to me since 90% of the porting work is now done
so many awesome parts. keep it up ;)
loads of other parts have started turning up, like the 90* 2.5" alloy bend for the turbo
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...pshyxwh3hf.jpg
stripped the brand new oil pump
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...psaffufssc.jpg
they are bad for having poor flow castings and rough bends, this helps flow, i've opened it up a fair bit too just like the performance pumps you can buy in america
this is only a 'during' pic to show some difference, this was tidied up and finished after

likewise, you can see all the rough sharp edges and even lumps in the casting on the oil path ways

every single screw/bolt was tipex'd and marked in its original postion, even numbered them all so they went back on exactly where they were
also marked the gears to make sure they were bang on where they should have been before i stripped
loaded it up with engine assembly lube and lubed up the gears teeth too

air intake temp sensor for new ecu

had the rear of the crank gear teeth welded up to prevent them breaking off,
this is a common fault of the jz's and i want to eliminate any risk of problems with the new engine

parts shop max arb shorter mod brackets turned up,
will see if i can make some sort of drop link out of what i have to use these :)
this will regain me that wheel clearance on full lock like i had when i ran no arb, it shortens the arb's length and relocates the D bush brackets
