Thanks, not much new. I want to get a radiator in before I do much else. I pulled a radiator and fan setup from a 89-94 Maxima. The dimensions are almost exactly the same as the Supra but with switched inlet/outlet locations and a nice dual efan setup.
It's just a hair too wide, so I have some "adjusting" to do.
Here's a bit of trivia...
Supra power steering pressure fitting: M16 x 1.5
Trailblazer power steering pressure fitting: M16 x 1.5
I'm starting to believe that this really is a 3JZ.

Ease of installation - I know that Maxima fans fit on the maxima radiator. Also I needed the whole package to be < 5" in depth. The Maxima is close. I considered checking out the Taurus, but didn't feel like venturing to the dark side (Ford side) of the junk yard.
Small update, working on fitting a radiator and fan setup from a 89-94 Maxima. The radiator has similar dimensions to the Supra but the outlets are crossed. Also, it's aluminum.
The fan shroud and fan mounts have taken a whole lot of adjusting, but it should go. The biggest part of the job is redoing the bottom mounts. The nissan isolators drop into the Toyota mounts, but are offset about 1". Tempted t use wire, I instead drilled out the spot welds, moved the mounts over, and re-welded. Sounds easy, but not very (you know, with an engine in the way and whatnot).
Here's the relocated mounts. From this angle, it's impossible to tell that they've been molested:
Nissan isolators drop right in like they're supposed to go there:
The view from underneath. Undercoat keeps the rust away:
Radiator and fans dropped in:
The whole setup sits about 1/4" taller than the Supra. Should be plenty of room to the hood (in this area at least). I used a portion of the Nissan upper radiator hose. I'll have to try the Trailblazer lower radiator hose. Need to fab upper mounts and wire the fans. Anybody know why there would be 4 wires to each fan?
