Guess what everyone? finally my GZ20 is back on the road and full of 1JZ goodness!!! i can't tell you how much i have been waiting for this but now that it is done i can't stop smiling everytime i hit the loud pedal!!!
the wait has definitely been worth it, although it would have been better if the first 1J i put in it had of lasted more than 3 days :-(
so now in a months time or so i will be putting in the R154 and my torsen and then hopefully i should be a happy camper.
The car is great to drive, as anyone with a gz20 can understand how much fun these cars are to drive, well the 1J makes them even MORE fun :D. Once i manage to get it to rev past 5500rpms (think it is the idle position switch) it should be really really fun! After that then i am guessing that the gearbox and diff will be going in followed by my EBC and adjustable cam gears. Then i need some 440cc injectors than i will fit my Power FC and THEN get it dynoed :D
i will keep you all posted but i am REALLY looking forward to the next meet :D
cheers

Hi Gav, apparently with a few wired\s you can rig up a diagnostic reader that may help Matthew find his 5K rev issue.

hmm ok, but shouldn't the engine light achieve that also?

Rumor has it the dash is more unhappy now anyway, i am yet to check it out though.

yes the dash has had a little mishap at the moment but i have an auto dash that can be used instead of merely just for parts! If we can sort out the 5K rev issue then i can let it really rev out when its spinning
