E30 "Mad tyte jdm" 1JZ-GTE build

[EuroNut]

Where did you get that master cylinder setup?

Hey man, I own a E21 316 and I'm really thinking of going 1JZ-GTE or 7M-GTE, and since our cars are really alike this might be really handy to me. Did you just use the stock Supra gearbox(R154)? And what kind of propshaft and Diff are you running? I'm thinking of using all supra parts to keep the ratios the same and such. interested to see what you used. My plans are about a year away from actually doing them, but I'm in preparation!

I used the r 154 transmission, and a 325i medium diff for now..Next year the diff is going to get rebuilt with a good 2 way lsd and some 600hp axles. feel free to pm me any questions you have along the way

Thanks man, I appreciate it. Good luck w/ the project!

[EuroNut]

Thanks dude, And i've noticed your car rocking the rota's. Looks good!

Sorry to hear about that last bit, but great work so far man. A 1jz/ 1.5jz/ 2jz swap has always been the plan for my car, so this thread should help when the time comes around. And btw, If you want the look of those Hyashi's, but w/ the proper lug pattern and better sizing, check out the Rota Shakotan(see my sig and all the pics ive posted before, im a whore ). Again, cant wait to see this finished.

Ok so this project should have been done by now and I'd love to have some updates for you...however.. I sent both my wiring harnesses out in december to have a plug and play conversion harness made. It's been paid for and I've heard good things about the craftsmanship of these harnesses.

The problem is that since April in 2 week intervals i receive an email from the shop saying that they will send it out "friday"...at the rate it's going I'm not going to see my wiring again this year and have lost ALL motivation...what am I supposed to do?

So i got some depo smiley projectors and installed some h.i.d's a while ago and never bothered to post about it...so here are some pictures (they dont do it any justice)

[EuroNut]

so....couldn't keep waiting around for wiring before i made some more progress so here it is...









Engine is in to check clearances and take measurements for a driveshaft and intercooler piping/exhaust!







also installed the clutch/ flywheel and transmisson



shifter location is close



oil pan clearance



little bit of room for a rad



ride height with weight of engine/ tranny




And on a less exciting note, I decided to mount the decklid spoiler and the rear window carpet section





Sleeper apeal

Ok so I've got a little bit of an update..went to a free parts day and grabbed some stuff.

Got pop-out windows for the rears


A deck lid spoiler (not sure if i'm mounting it or not...not a reference to the penis drawn on the window FYI)


And got a new set of kidney grills


Also ordered some euro smiley projector headlights to clean up the front end a bit.
Also here's a picture of the newest addition to our shop, it should help out a lot along the way!
