My R32 Gtst 1Jz Gte Build

[88cameron88]

heres a big update

engine and gearbox is in, all mounts made by me, ive made up a set of custom dump pipes which have come up absolutely mint, and just get around the skyline steering arm!!!

got a 5 puck carbonic button clutch with ultralight flywheel, hd pressure plate

the speedo drive from the skyline was a perfect match to the r154 gearbox AWESOME!

the soarer throttle cable was nearlly identical to the skyline one apart from length, so with minor modification it fit AWESOME!

Lots of stuff matches up between nissan and toyota which is making the conversion very easy.

not long now and itll all be running.

Looks awesome! What a fit! Brings back memories of my first build!

[Saunders63]

Damn!! Great work thus far. I'll definitely keep posted. Can't wait to see the end result. Should look (and drive) mint!

[88cameron88]

ok so took the car for its first drive the other day.

its a bit of a weapon..

ive been round the block 3 times and i cant get traction until 4th gear!!!!!!!!!!1

thats with 90% tread tyres.

soon as it hits boost in 1st 2nd and 3rd it just frys them

definately going to need some good semi slicks

very very happy with the car!!!

I wish my stock turbo 1J would do that...might have something to do with my car weighing 1800kgs lol.

Anyhoo who did your dump pipe? I really like it

[are bee's]

I would kill for a 1j 32, I'm wanting to convert mine to a 1j later on when it inevitably gets yellowed and becomes a track/drift car. How much roughly would this set one back if not needing to get it engineered/registered.

ive spent about 7 grand on the conversion but that includes coilovers etc.

a few pics

[tweetywoof]

lol... boostcruising...

looks like it could be fun!

[88cameron88]

yes thats an old photo, the sticker is from previous owner and has since been removed as has the rest of the shit stickers it was covered with

[zebra]

Any video's of what it sounds like with the separate dump pipes?

[88cameron88]

the exhaust is twin 2.5 inch from the turbos the whole way to the back of the car. (2.5inch off each turbo) all it has are one straight through resonator on each pipe at the rear.

sounds like a rotor on full noise!

ill see what i can do about a vid

Conflicting emotions........ Have always been a toyota man owned a Gt4 celica my old man has a tt soarer which ive had alot of fun in too but now im a nissan owner lol! Nice work mate the 1jz is 1 of the best donks ever made! If there was as much aftermarket support for the yotas as the nissans i probably never woulda jumped on the nissan boat. Nice build though buddy bet shes a screamer in the lil 32 the old boys snoarer pops along well with few lil tweaks and the 32 probably weighs as much as the 2 doors of the soarer hahaha
