E30 "Mad tyte jdm" 1JZ-GTE build

[Jesus Christ]

To be honest. If I had to start over, I would have just got suspension and wheels, and drove it like that for a while doing little weekend jobs to it here and there. I've spent waaayyyy too much, and in the end I havn't been able to drive the car in 2 years...Consider building a daily that you can have fun with first..then buy a cheap project car that doesn't have a time limit or deadline on it. Build it up over time...just my 2 cents

Being someone who has the same swap in their e36, this is truer than you can ever know.

nice job man, there are some jzs bmw projects in my country and sr20, always loved that kind of swap

hey man ive been thinking about doing this project for maybe 6 months now, i can possibly get a trashy e30 for 1500, gotta get new interior new paint, get rid of 250k mile engine get air suspension rims subs, the whole lot. You look like you are going through alot of those same things and i was wondering, is it worth it all? my parents keep putting me down and saying it will cost to much and wont be worth it, but im a car guy and i really wanna do a build like this. so i just wanted to know if you had alot of fun with it, how much you spent and how hard was it?

LMAO !!!! japed-out E30..........too much japan on a german car for me

[EuroNut]

The car is back down on all fours...I forgot my camera last night, so there aren't any pictures of the install



I modified the lower strut tube a little bit so the front can still go down about another inch if it wants to (which it will once the other wheels are mounted)



The rear can be brought down another 3/4" or so..

^thanks guys..suspension will be installed tonight

[aaron22]

good shit man, pumped to see this thing on the road

[Rob&co]

so far so good! love the wheels...!

[EuroNut]

Time for some proper stancification...





bc's with custom spring rates showed up today, once installed I can take some measurements and order spacers...then the wheels can be bolted to the car for the first time!!!!

[EuroNut]

I dig em.

Thanks, the centers are going back to chrome before they're all said and done
