E30 "Mad tyte jdm" 1JZ-GTE build

[FunfGang]

Aw man, I know that fucking feeling. Best of luck with the rebuild man!

Looking awesome so far!

If you don't mind posting the dimensions on that steel tube you used to make the lower rad support I would appreciate it. I want to do something very similar seeing as my skid plate currently mounts to the paper thin oem rad support and is doing a good job crushing it.

I'm not 100% sure off of the top of my head, but I think it was 1 3/4" x 3" with 3/16" wall thickness. I just went to the local steel supply and had a look at their cut peices, and grabbed what would work. hope this helps.

got my exhaust back all nicely tigged..
















clearance is much more gooder



just have to make the axle back section now

[HooWybrow]

Well over the last few days Mike and myself have been working on his exhaust. It is a fully 3" equivalent ovalized tube exhaust, v-band clamps, etc.

We just tacked it together, and Mike is dropping it off tomorrow to have it tigged.

Time for some pics!







And some badass pie-cut work.

Final specs are 16x9.5 on all four corners, 26mm spacers in the front 38mm offset wheels, 35mm spacers rear 38 offset wheels.

[EuroNut]

I know the rear has to come down...already took the adjusters out...that's just the coil spring....but the tires already rub like a bastard just pulling in and out of the shop (just rears)

[Xtra Big Kahuna]

Amazing. I love this. Rear needs a little more low IMO but if you are going for performance then you probably don't want to go lower.

By some crazy force I've managed to miss this up until now. I have read every single page and post. I love it all.

I've been so demotivated just doing the simplest of OEM swaps, I can't imagine a 2 year long swap. So much respect for you. Keep it up, it'll be so worth it!


Also, Burgundrot!
Also also, I want updates!

Thanks dude!
I've been waiting on my front spacers to show up, and it seems that they finally shipped out yesterday. I've been putting off working on the car as i needed a break, and i bought myself a vintage motorcycle to keep me occupied (next project vehicle). Once my spacers get here I just need to build myself some oval tubing exhaust, and wire in the rad fan/ temp sensor.

updates will follow

Hey man what fan set up are you running? My unshrouded efans don't cut it in traffic.

I'm running one 16" e pusher fan...im hoping that with the aluminum rad, and the royal purple coolant additive, it will stay cold enough..

[HoodRide]

Nice work man looks ace.
