silly question but how exactly is the c pillar bar connected?

the 240 looks great. any specific reason why you decided on ecu masters?

I know its not a Z but its my lead sled, just painted.

@Acesss, I picked up my IC locally.

@Drift Boss, I figured I'm going to have to do that. It's pretty hard to find something with a bend like that. Does anyone have there battery relocated into the trunk? I was planning on tucking it to the side in the trunk but wasn't 100% set on that idea yet. I ordered up an ignitor and its finally here, hoping to start my engine sometime soon. Fingers crossed

its nice to see something new. have fun with the build and keep posting.

finished most of my plumbing! More parts are slowly on the way, the Canadian dollar blows right now.

@Acesss have you heard anything bad regarding the transmissions? From what I've read there seem to be a lot of issues with them.

Great welds and thanks for the write up. Much appreciated.

I think I've seen a couple other threads on here from someone using one from a 350z. I was planning on grabbing a 350z transmission next week. I haven't looked into it to much but from what I can see you'll need the adapter and your wiring harness will need to be changed up a bit I don't know how much work is involved in it but i do know wiring specialties makes a harness for the 240z with a 1jz & 350/370z transmission. If you're planning on buying a wiring harness that is. http://www.wiringspecialties.com/2jwihafordap.html If you find out that you'll need anything else, post about it for future members.

glad to see another JZ build, post some pictures when you can!

truck looks great, what are your plans for it?

any tips? Ill be needing to rewire my new engine into a fuse box for both the engine compartment and interior and have no clue where to start.

I'm using a walbro 255 fuel pump. My opinion doesn't really count though I haven't started it yet so I don't know if it'll be good enough.

When you bought your engine did it come with your igniter and noise filter? I'm having a hard time tracking one down.

I fit some tiburon seats in my 240z. I have a build journal showing the seats as well the seat in the car.

@softopz, if worse comes to worse I'll only be out $50.00 for the seats. Thanks for the suggestion on the gauges they look good.

@Nelsonian, MMRAD-AE86-83 is the model number and here is a gap, it's actually bigger than I remembered. About 3/4".

sounds great would love to see the full build thread if one exists

not at all, cant wait to see more progress pictures.

model specific (corolla), I ended up with about 1/4" gap on either side of it and the height was bang on. I can take some pictures if you'd like or can try finding you a part number.

@seattlejester, thanks for the response.

Managed to grab some seats locally for $25 a piece. The overall shape of them is ok the drivers seat does have a small tear about 1" big. I managed to get most of my wiring hooked up just need to know where some plugs go. Anyone have any ideas on what to do for a fuse box and if I'll be needing an interior and exterior one? The 240 never had one when it was purchased.

valve covers came out great. What type of emu are you running?

@Greeko, Thanks, and I ended up grabbing the intercooler, rad and fan locally. I'll have to grab the tubing for the intercooler from somewhere else though as no one here seems to carry anything. I found some time to mount things up recently and tested out some paint in the engine bay.
