the info I read ages ago that I cant find again you eather use standard 2jz bearings or off the shelf over sized ones

Simple more compression and a bit stronger bottem end for half the price if you can get a good set of standard ones

yeah well Im only after 310-320rwkw but I think that just gona be a bit to far for a standard na internals and not enough power to justify spending $2500 or so on internals so Thought I may aswell ask the question to see if it is easy or its to much hassle for the money saved

it'll cost you more to get 2jz bits in, than it will to just buy a set of pistons and rod bolts mate.

i mean that is if its even possible.

given what complete 2jz motors sell for, i wouldn't think a bottom end would be all that cheap also?

Was more thinking ring gas motor sports or somthing and see if they had a good set they had pulled out of a motor they had rebuilt.

While you keep saying it would be cheaper and less hassale to forge build it. I was thinkig the same but unless I asked I would never no what was involved

I had no intentions of doing it unless I could find people who had done it and wasnt much involved and could get the 2jz bits for a good price. Im not stupid that I would just go waste money and try in with out info to back it up

So all you are doing is backing up what I suspected so theres no piont posting unless you have tryed or know of some one who has that has succeed or failed

spose, i just usually build somethign to last, and i would never use a standard bottom end. bearings ect are a few hundred, machining, balancing, crank collar, all the other extra's. hell i even clearanced my own bearings and all. 25gearbox to hold it up, theres another 2grand.

but if we are talking about a "budget" build, im still convinced of buying a 2jz halfcut with a box and with left over money throw it at some add-ons.

a 2jz halfcut with a 6 speed is over 5k isn't it?

Well to buy a V160 with a clutch etc is around 5-6k depending on what else comes with it....So I would say a Manual 2JZGTE halfcut would be bloody expensive

The cheapest way would be a 1JZ manual half cut ($3500) with a 2JZ NA bottom end ($1000).

Yet of coarse you run into the barrier of, who's gonna do your work and at what cost?

    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
