and uh.. ya, i noticed its a front sump. I dont think thats going to work for my 89 MKiii. I searched. I think its bad, im just making sure that i am indeed reading everything correct. The guy told me it was out of a 96TT Supra, but im thinking that the guy is a cock sucker. Also, the "uncut" harness, is missing all the clips, and theres 2 spots where half the harness has been chopped. Not a very good day :(

ouch, yeah sound like an aristo and they usually cut the body plugs.
If you can't do anything about the motors, you'll have to source out a rear sump and swap it with the front sump. You'll need a motor stand. Hopefully you have one if not renting one would not be too expensive, I believe.

Well why would you buy a 96 2JZGTE to install in a MKIII?

It's not VVTI, and it's got an OBD2 harness and ECU that you'll need to throw away anyways to install in a MKIII unless your Mr Wizard.

ya im not to happy about it. Kinda long, but here it goes. Back when i had my first supra, i blew the motor (suprise) I baught a used 7M-GE from a place in Richmond called JK Japanese Motors. They sold me a crap motor, and when i went back to cash-in on my 4 month warrantee, they tell me since i dont have a bill of sale (i paid cash, no taxes) that they dont remember me and such. So i had to get my uncle to go down there (he was with me when i baught it in the first place) and talk some sense into them. After talking the them, they agree to honor my warantee with another motor that blew a head gasket as soon as i started it. I complained, they didnt listen, my uncle had to go back and "put the fear of god in their eyes" Thats what i was told. After that, I got a new motor that lasted.

Now back in the present, i baught this 2JZ-GTE from a place called Nagasaki Motors, also in Richmond, just on the other side. Long story short, the guy who owns Nagasaki, is cousins with the guy from JK. They are both assholes. Im going to Nagasaki when the guy returns from Montreal, and if im not pleased, well then heads are going to roll. It took me 7 months to get my ECU from them, and now it doesnt even matter becasue it wont work with the chopped up wiring harness they gave me.

Im going to keep preping the motor to go in though. Ill get them to change the oil pan and pickup. Im pretty pissed off, but if this is the worst thing going on with me right now, well im doing alright then. Shit happens, all the time, now i gotta go deal with it.

After reading that story, you're asking for what you get. I'd return that hack and get a motor from JHot Imports.

i wish i would have known that they were cousins. i already ripped the turbos off, ps, ac, and got the valve covers off and painted. So i dont think anyone in their right mind would take it back. Ill just get a differant oil pan and pick up. Im more pissed about the harness and ECU

EDIT: So i just got off the phone with a friend. He works at a shop, and hes got a GTR in the shop. Nagasaki owns this GTR, and i was just told that since they fucked me so hard, i get to go rag on their car all day. It almost makes up for their wrong

Not to play devils advocate but 2 wrongs dont make a right.

You should have your buddy hold their car until they make your situation right...not go beat the piss out of their car to feel better.

It sucks you got screwed but I just think taking the higher road always yields a better result.

But if you happen to rag on their car...by all means get pics and vids and post them up :)

+1 for jhot w00t

ya i think ill get my friend to do something along those lines. Im still taking the car for a rip. Its not every day im offered a GTR. I dont want to break it though, thats not my style. Im still waiting to hear back from the guy. Hopefully this minor problem can be resolved with out any serious issues.
