Xsjado's JZGA70 - GTK 550 powered.

[xsjado]

Already got one , just too lazy to make it all black hehe.

 

[xsjado]

Some more ricey goodness just arrived from Japan .

They sent me the wrong type of oil cap though... No oil cap bling for a while now...

JZA70 steering wheel with new TRD horn button, pointless because my horn doesnt even work, but it looks good! And a picture of the dash for all you Digi dash lovers :biglaugh:.

 

[xsjado]

How about I swap you my Maroon for your Grey interior . The spare interior will eventually get redone and swapped in. Anyone wanna buy a twist type TRD oil cap? Hopefully they will exchange it for the spring type or whatever it is...

 

[xsjado]

It's a horrible experience isn't it? I have nightmares about it every night...

 

[DeSloth]

'ello.

We're taking over the place - slowly

Love your car, especially the seats and the wheels.

Not a maroon fan though, sorry.

Have you seen the widebody front quaters for sale on sf.com.au?

 

[HKS_TRD]

Just a little bit...

More pictures of seats

Those seats look sweet. I am not up on the group buy, were they leather or something else? Also is the extre material enough to cover the door cards and the rear cards and sections next to the back seat?

I like what you've done with the car, I recognise it from another forum, but not sure which one. I'm not the most prolific net surfer :biglaugh:

 

[RazoE]

oil fillar FTW..!!


I noticed my mom's 2JZ had a spring-type oil cap, what's the point of that..?

 

[suprastanger507mgte]

Very kool looking car. and those seats are dam sexy!

 

[Loki]

Very nice looking car, I really like the seats.

Maroon is getting the boot as soon as I get the motivation to make my spare interior into a black interior, do some more of your amazing work to motivate me .

Seats are made out of some leatherette stuff, seems to be good quality, is a little bit softer then real leather and looks just as good. The extra material should be enough to do all of the door cards and anything else that needs retrimming, and if I feel like it, my spare dash which has a massive crack in it.

MORE AWESOME NEWS!

Well not really, today my 1JZ went bang, not 100% sure what the cause was, was having the car tuned, started the run and about 1 second later there was a loud vacuum sounding noise followed buy a nice knocking sound, we couldn't find any hoses or piping that had blown off... Spare 1JZ will be getting dropped in, but I don't exactly want to put the ct12a's back on...

I can either have the turbos hi flowed and rebuilt with steel wheels($$ and small gains) or I can go single while the other engine is getting dropped in($$$ and big gains). I'm checking out a few different kits that I can go with, first one which I like is the MTR PT61 turbo kit found Here, or something along the lines of a GT30 or 35R.

Just wanting to hear from people using the PT61, I'll be aiming for 400+rwhp and response if possible, I know of a few people running GT30's, just want to get some figures from people running the PT61's.

 

[noah89t]

i don't know if you have read enough about your great looking seats yet, but i also think they are beautiful.

 

[annoyingrob]

Don't put the stock twins back on. Now's your chance!

 

[xsjado]

Pretty much decided that I want the PT61 kit from MTR, tempted to go the GT40 but it's just way too big for what I need (for now ). Just needing a little bit more info on how these go on a 1JZ, but I know I will be going single because I will save quite a lot in labor costs. Hopefully have some updates and more pictures soon.

 

[xsjado]

Time for a little update .

Not much has happened lately, big end bearing went 1 week after I got my car back from dodgy mechanic, so my plans have changed for the car now. Car is off as we speak getting the engine bay resprayed in Black Ruby Pearl (206)! Thought I should get it out of the way now while the engine is out, also thought I'd get two birds with one stone and go single. Yay for more pictures!

WTF happened?! Someone stole my engine This is the point where I got lazy and let the panel shop strip everything else.

My bling turbo.

Drewgo manifold.

Plans for the turbo swap are:
Turbonetics GT-K 550 (T4, 3" vband, .81 A/R, ball bearing and water cooled)
Turbonetics Raptor BOV
TiAL 44mm vband Wastegate
Drewgo Manifold
440cc injectors(for now)
Aeromotive AFPR kit
AEM UEGO
I'm sure there are a lot more things that I have forgotten, and I'm too lazy to figure them out.

Mum thought I might need launch control with the new setup, so this is my birthday present from Mum .

Just went it to check progress on my car today, all done!

Sorry for the camera phone pic, will have good ones on Monday .

Stay tuned, things should be getting very interesting .

 

[OneJArpus]

holy hell, nice car man!

 

[foreverpsycotic]

Keep the narrow body, the wide body isn't all its cracked up to be, at least I would rather have a narrow body.

 

[xsjado]

Got my car back, gave it a quick wash. It's a shame the sun wasn't out when I got it back though, either way here are my bad pictures. I couldn't hold the camera still because I was that happy .

After:

 

[suprastanger507mgte]

why did you paint the engine bay black instead of white? Or is that the first step to a color change. Black Ruby pearl is a nice color.

 

[xsjado]

Correct, even if I was keeping it white though, the engine bay would have ended up black just because I hate white engine bays.
