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

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
