Hello, I've been the owner of this z-car since 2005. I have fully restored it since, and drove it for one season with original engine after restoration. This winter I am swapping engine and driveline....

Hello Rovdriver your car looks very nice indeed, what engine is that in there i am very interested to see some more thanks Terry

 

[neil240z]

lovely car but i doubt those Nankang NS2's will cope with the power of that awesome V8!

 

[rallymanDP]

OK, so what IS that Engine ?

V8 with Twin Cam heads, either a Maserati or Ferrari, possibly ?

1uz

 

[Rovdriver]

It is a 1uzfe from a Lexus LS 400. Transmission is Toyota R154, diff is Nissan R230

Thanks - must be a first for a Transplant into a 'Z'.

Keep the pics coming - nice to see something different and you've done a good job with the Resto.

I always thought the L6 to be a big engine. When you look at that Lexus motor and then the L6 at the side of the car it looks quite small. These S30s sure can accommodate big motors.

Nice car, good job!

Here is a picture of the car when I bought it back in 2005....

...and this is summer 2010. Used it for 1,5 year with original L6 engine, but it was planned from the start to put the 1uzfe into it.

Great looking, some real detail on the interior - can almost smell the leather

I hadn't even noticed the centre console and dash, that looks really impressive - any more pics of the interior?
