sweet dude, any pics of your nissan?

a buddy of mine put a nasty 2JZ w/ r154 into his '95 240. I have no pics of it unfortunately.

there is a lot of knowledgeable help here on SM, good luck!

start a build thread btw.

its not alot compared to a decent sr20 swap or a built ka24de motor. ive figured the cost will be about the same as an sr swap and actually deliver a reliable 350whp. i am looking for places that are somewhat local to me here in socal that deal with 1jz regularly. i would prefer to buy a motor in person bc the motors from ebay seem mad sketchy but i may be wrong.

First

Welcome.

Keep in mind. 1jz or ANY motor that was imported from Japan will have to be looked over extensively. Used is afterall used ;) Also you said SoCal. Hope you have connections already!

well no matter what condition the motor looks to be in i have been eying the 1jz gasket set from driftmotion and tear it apart and look for any potentially dangers lol
