By the way im in west la so not to to far away if u ever want to see mine.

I would go with a JDM 2jzgte vvti motor that includes the non-mobilzer ecu and oe jdm maff with a complete uncut engine harness. I would do a timing belt kit on it, change the valve stem seals, valve cover gaskets, rear sump oil pan conversion. Get the Driftmotion kit that allows you to remove the A/C and P/S. Make or buy your own motor mounts and tranny mounts. Get a 7MGTE starter FYI: Trans wise you can get brand new R-154's here:https://www.driftmotion.com/. Cheaper Toyota option would be a W58 instead of a R154 or look all the other options mentioned in previous posts Get whatever 1jz clutch kit of your choosing. Custom driveshaft. Save money where you can by buying the parts below used if available.

Make shift set-up to see that it actually runs. Next up is running PTFE fuel lines from the ATL (with internal fuel sump containing dual Bosch 044's) fuel cell to the fuel rail View My Video

Better pic.

If u can find it I put a pic and the first start-up video (poor quaity) in the members gallery called: OG 240Z-2JZGTE I will make a better quality first start-up video later on. Thanks. P.S. Yes it turned into a much longer project but then I had expected. Im sure my first drive and smile on my face will quickly erase all the years it has took.

will try to get it home this weekend or next at the latest. Forgot how to post pics and vids. Will do soon.

Believe it or not this project is still alive. I just wrote a huge long essay detailing every bit of this project and a tribute to johnc whose fingerprints are all over my car and wouldn't you know I accidentally closed the page and my whole disertation was gone in a blink of an eye. Suffice to say, I'm proud to say its actually running for the first time. Betwen johnc and Vildani I've had the best working on my car. Can wait to finish it and bring it out to some shows.

Well I'll try this again. Link is below as I'm writing this post so if it disappears as soon as I hit the "Post" button i must be doing something wrong. Thanks http://www.import-car.com/ecu-diagnostics/# www.import-car.com/ecu-diagnostics/#

I accidentally double posted and now the article and link is gone. Not sure what happened. PM me if you want it I guess. Bummer. Not sure if a posting rule was broken or not, surely wasn't intentional.

Bummer. Sorry to hear about that but know the feeling.

Just speechless. Class A person all around. We lost a legend in the community. One of our Icons. He literally built my car...coil-over suspension, flares, LSD, seam welded, roll cage, sub frame connectors, reinforced sway bar mounts, modified trans tunnel, and my/his masterpiece, the original 2JZ engine cradle I commissioned him to make for my car and he went on to sell to a few others. One of the last ones maybe before he left to Benton. Wow. Prayers to his family. Wow. 2nd friend to pass in one week.

The complete OS Giken motor as set-up in the black z car at their booth to be replicated would cost ~$70K they said. 3.3 Litre with the new OS Giken head, built by Rebello. Told me that the engine would continue to make power up to and past 9K and was limited to some issue with the carbs depsite the posted dyno sheet. Owner of the black car is a Calif guy. Not mentioned much since the black engine compartment kind of hid it was that it was nicely shaved and wire tucked. Previous SEMA shows in the past had Datsun's as well. Always nice to get more Datsun recognition.

Just wow!

Im going with the MS3 Pro Plug and Play. Should be up and running by the end of February 2015.

great project. keep up the good work.

John, Not yet but u know how life can kind of get in the way of things. It's at the shop making progress, albeit slowly, which is perfect for my budget when your raising four daughters. Perhaps it will be at JCCS this year. Be well my friend.

Glad to hear. Those were made from the originals I commissioned him to make for my car.

Thanks Miles. That is the plan. Thanks to all for contributing.

Latest update. Well Lowes didn't have any reasonably priced Step drill bits just the $40 + dollar Irwin Uni-bit. Not sure that it was HSS steel and would drill well on cast iron I went back home with the idea to just try and remove the drums and have a look inside. As mentioned in my first post I had an idea that removing the drums wasn't going to be difficult and sure enough it wasn't. Reviewed the FSM and moved forward. Since the car is not driven much and I had the brakes done years ago, the shoes looked brand new. The only differences between the rear passenger and driver side were that the driver side had the wheel cylinder replaced way back when and you can tell its still pretty much brand new. After adjusting the wheel cylinder with a flat head screwdriver ( sitting facing the drum in a downward motion) to loosen the brakes I put the drum back on and it spun relatively easily. I re-hooked up the emergency brakes by reinserting the clevis pin and had my daughter pull the handle to see the motion of what it was doing. Looking at the emer. brake operation it seems every time its applied the drums move out more and more and don't return making the brakes tighter and tighter. I can't see that not happening. I looked at how the adjustment is done in the FSM and man I wish I could see a video of proper operation. For now I have the emergency brakes disconnected. I can still hear the drums rubbing in a specific location during rotation of the drivers side rear wheel. Me thinks that perhaps the return springs are not strong enough of the wheel cylinders are not moving properly. This is where I'm at a disadvantage due to me not working on brakes a whole lot especially drum brakes. So next up is the either doing the brake adjustment the FSM way ( which based on visuals of my Emer.brake operation may re-lock up the drums) or take it to someone that knows correct brake drum operation to get another viewpoint. Thanks all,

Thanks John. Headed to Lowes now for the stepped 3/4 drill.
