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 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

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
