Very nice any plans on boostin

Possibly buying a 1jzgte in a little bit, gonna see if I can source all the parts first to get it done sooner since this is my daily.

update: My auto transmission bit the dust so the car has been parked for the past month or 2, so I went and bought a 1jzgte out of a JZZ30 Soarer and bought a R154 out of a MKIII. I have a MKII Torsen differential coming in the mail to replace the worn out stock LSD and I have a Garrett GT3076R being built for me right now. Also bought MX73 cressida JZ engine mounts from Xcessive manufacturing, a new 1j flywheel, R32 GTR FMIC and a Aluminum radiator from CXracing.

The swap will be taking place very soon, I plan to be down at Nissanfest in Seattle this coming March if any of you american's from WA want to see my car up close!

I like it, sometimes I wish I hadnt gone with such a large rear tire so I can slam my car some more

Thanks!

I wish I never bought the Drift spec coilover's from serialnine lol The valving on the drift spec ones is meant to be coupled with 12k/10k spring rates and the springs are 200mm tall. The street coils are 10k/8k spring rates, softer valving and the springs are 175 or 150mm long... I'm the lowest I could be right now, so basically I'm scared-cat-stance unless I get custom springs made :/

which I think I'm going to attempt to get done in the future, get some 150mm springs in 12k/10k rates so I can drop my car another 2" if I want.

Ended up buying 150MM Swift Springs for my Serialnine/Stance Coilovers in 11/9k spring rates.
also bought Xcessive Manufacturing 30mm Roll center adjusters aswell as a 1/4" steel skid plate.

also in the midst of purchasing A Microtech LT-12S Standalone ECU for my 1JZ. Goodbye SAFC Neo!
