I am looking to convert my newly bought R33 into a 1JZ r33 i have always been into toyotas but recently changed to Nissan, i have been slowly collecting parts for the conversion as i want to rebuild engine before putting it in so far i have Brian Crower 272 cams, BC valve springs and titanium retainers, HKS Cam gears and timing belt, Spool Con Rods and CP pistons, BC 1.6mm oversized intake valves and new crank shaft, oil pump and water pump and all arp head studs and main bolt kit.

i spent the last weekend spraying my rims up black and fitting new coilovers

and as pictured u can see why i no longer want to drive the soarer and want to swap the engines i love the 1jz and always have plus the r33 would be like hevean to that motor not having to pull all the weight of a soarer

i already have the 1jz in my soarer as pictured but recently had someone smash up the back of my car and do the runner when it was park at a mates house.

i,m running the r154 5 speed

I have purchased a s14 crossmember and 1jz engine mounts for that xmember so hopefully it goes in easy and with out to much drama.

I still need a front sump for conversion and to work out how to wire it up i dont know to much about wireing myself

I like seeing project like this using the good looking body and putting a bullet proof motor in. I have a 2JZ in my 32 now that it finished I could not be happier with it, but i will give the tip it wasn’t all easy there’s a lot involved everything was custom and i mean everything nothing just fitted. I am running a mircotech computer just running the engine and using the factor computer to run all the other stuff it was quite easy to wire up I stripped all the factor wiring out that was not needed and just kept the wiring that was still needed i.e. factory temp gauge, lights, horn, air-con, air-con thermo. I used factor cross member with factor Nissan mount and just made custom mounts off the block to the factor Nissan rubber mounts. My motor was from an aristo so it had the front sump that fitted perfect over the cross member. if you get stuck on anything I'm to answer any question you might have good luck with the build mate

This a thread about my car a few pics of the build up on another forum

    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
