1jz 240z conversion / restoration ish

[moggy240]

havent done a update in a while, havent really done alot, trying to save up some cash for the suspension arms and wheels

are the threaded strut inserts the same ones that are on Hybrid Z using the S13 coilovers ??

 

[mark240z]

Not shore I think they might be I found a few people on hybridz running them so I bought them, 6 inches of dish I think is plenty but they have a funny pcd so have to get some new hubs machined up

 

[tel240z]

Mark what width and diameter are those bad boys then ?

 

[mark240z]

Rears are 15x11 and fronts are 15x8 3 pice split rims

Only 11's
What about tyres mate? I've not seen proper track day rubber much bigger than a 235,
or are you going for the stretched look?

have done a update for a while, at the moment im in the middle of fitting my new tilton pedal box ,
ive bought 2 massive blocks off ally for my man at Pentek to machine up my front wheels which hes currently still writing the program for, hes also in the middle of making me custom ally pulleys for the engine ie water pump, alternator pulley and idler pulley which im very happy with, im still waiting on the rear brakes to turn up from arizona, and ive had to buy new rear carbon wide arches which im still waiting on so we can make a start on machining the rear wheels,

 

[mark240z]

the good stuff

 

[mark240z]

abit on the pulleys

 

[Ian]

Carbon flares look very nice as do the AZC brakes (pity it will be a while before I get to fitting them to my car) So, are you going for the AZC rear brake setup also? Will you be fitting a handbrake setup or will you just run the line lock?

I really like the look of the rear AZC setup but I want a nicely working handbrake so I think I'll go for the silver line motors kit instead as it seems the best kit available which still utilizes the handbrake but should still have enouth power to balance out the AZC setup on front.

The coilover setup looks very good which is a good thing as I've just ordered some. Is there enouth height adjustment with them both to raise and lower the car over stock height?

Hi Mark,

I have read through and this is a great project and has inspired me to try and do a similar conversion myself.

I've got a 260Z which is getting new floor pans and chassis rails welded in over next couple of weeks. I have been researching about 1JZ conversions over on hybridz and have a good idea of what i need.

I have the chance to buy a 1JZ for £450 or a 2JZ for £1200. which would you advise I go for?
Am I able to lean on you for some advice? If you were closer to me I would pay you back with beer!
