So went to put my trans in, it fell on my finger and cut it real deep. Looks like this thing won't get done before winter. Could get it done but what would I do with it in december? Lol

 

Bought some rear tires for it on closeout from tire rack though. All seaons but they won't have a long life expectancy once the clutch break in is done and dyno time is over lol

 

So I may go buy a 2jzgte vvti this winter and plan on killing my engine if I can at some point next year so I can extract some revenge. Still got some small wiring things done yesterday which felt good but still pissed.

These came in today, only 275's, test fitting with these to see how a 295 or 315 would do.

Also got in all my fmic components

I'm almost considering selling my current bigass fmic and piping for a plug and play kit. I can't complete my lower pipe, nobody around to help, and with my back taking a complete shit, it's all just sitting there collecting dust. :mad: Same boat as you now with winter coming, what's the point? haha

Got the new wheels on it, 275's fit nice, little bit of room left in the rear so next set I will bump up to 295's.

Kind of not wanting to do straight line stuff with this car anymore, leaning more towards HPDE so I bought some '01 Mercedes S500 front calipers, they bolt right up and are 4 piston setup. Going to run a 350Z touring rotor with this and I'll have a sub $400 13" brake kit up front. Trying to put together a kit for the rear using Evo/STi stuff.

 

Hoping to have enough cash to buy Fortune Auto coilovers within the next week or two. 2 weeks from now my schedule opens up quite a bit so I will have a lot of time to work on this. Got some more fuel pump wiring done, and threw the filters on, getting the regulator setup and return side done so I can get some E85 in the tank and check for leaks. This weekend or the following weekend I should have time to cut up the piping for the FMIC and it will be ready to fire up and drive around.

I wouldn't mind spending that kind of money for the trans, but my friend has ran into an issue on his CD009 setup that has made me put the idea on hold. Basically the 009 won't fit in the stock shifter location and uses a u joint to shift or something? Not sure, either way he threw engineering gibberish at me involving some weird shit about the shifter. He says what he has done won't work, but it seems to work in my eyes.

 

Others have done it but his pride won't let him ask, I'm too lazy and I'm not too worried about it right now, my rear diff Will pop before the trans....I hope.

Update just for Paul.

Put my new Brian Crower valve springs, Titanium retainers and valve stem seals in.

 

Along the way found a broken valve spring, some odd pitting on 2 cam journals which I have fixed as well as I can without taking the head off to a machine shop and good news being I don't have to drill out rivets to remove my baffling inside my valve covers to get them powdercoated.

The good shit

First set of springs and valve stem seals I've done with a JZ in a car. Lot easier than on an engine stand. No bobbing and bouncing. Cotton balls to avoid a keeper ending up in the oil galleys, luckily I had no issues with keepers.

Clearly the engineers at Toyota anticipated this being a job getting done on all JZ swapped MK3's so my ass fit comfortably in the area between the bumper and radiator support. I used a rope to keep the valves up, air is overrated.

End result

Just gotta decide on 264 cams or 272's. I like the idea of 272's so when I get the stones to take it to 9,000 rpm I still have power. Like the thought of 264's for more average power. Need to decide which and order it. The fuel system is a 160* fitting away from being done. Also gotta reassemble with the new cams and measure the valve lash. Going to shimless buckets which is going to help me rev a considerable amount higher.

 

 

Idea's for these? Lamp? Baseball bat? Prosthetic penis?

as some one that was in the boat for the 262/ 272 just go the 272 route.

Think that's what I'll do. Same money regardless, might as well get more cam

 

It's not running yet. ;)

 

It'll run when it runs. No use of rushing because I'll end up pissed off and losing motivation like I have before.
