I will be keeping my eye on this thread...in the process of doing a Lq4 conversion and restomod on my 73 Datsun. In the chassis phase right now will do that suspension and then engine and drivetrain. Unfortunately I know next to nothing about the LQ4 or LS so a bit of learning is happening.

Ah excellent thank you for the information

Hate to bring up old posts but found this while googling other day....does anyone know the offset and tire sizes that were used on this CCW setup? Looking to get a set for my Z and like the fitment of these.

Very impressive build. Can only imagine how much this is costing you. Definitely giving me ideas and information I will use in my build once it starts.

Thank you this is the kind of information I need to know Thanks again that GTRX3582 just made the list lol Do you guys know if there is anyone out there that makes a complete kit used on a 2JZ?

Thanks man..Been some time since I have been on here I have been trying very hard to be patient and complete the build as I have planned starting with all the chassis reinforcements. Having a guy come out tomorrow actually and inspect everything. Will probably end up getting some parts from Bad Dog and having some work done no matter what the condition and also have been thinking of experimenting with Handi-foam. Have been hearing alot of mixed things about it but think it shows some promise Far as the power I still plan on doing a bigger single setup but will "learn" the car in the stock configuration 2j whatever first then add from there. Hoping to hear good news tomorrow and get her reinforced and painted in the next 2 months.

Very nice. I hope to get my project there one day

Wow this is pretty freaky... my name is Eric also and I have a 73 240Z that I want to put a 2JZ into. Keep us posted on the build and how it goes Im sure ill be referencing it one day int the future when I finally get heavy into my project.

Actually I have considered all of that but didnt think it would be really relevant to start posting about suspension, chassis, bakes etc etc in a engine thread....but yes all that has been considered and planned for already. Information im hunting down now is more about the wiring then anything. Also just because I want the car to have 500whp doesnt mean ill be running around everyday at 500whp I ust want that potential to be there if I call on it...same reason I choose the 2J. If one day I want to go more power I can or less for that matter with minimum amount of modification. Also is my reasoning behind going for the larger higher spooling turbos, I would like one that begins spooling hard about mid rpm band so that there is less chance of losing control on public roads unless I mean to get into boost. Since on the road course etc you are usually high in the rpm band through most of the gears there will be little need for a really fast spooling turbo in my opinion.

Looks good man good job

I cant wait for this thing to go into production

Thanks for the update can you also let us know once he gets idea of a price for each unit (FG and CF) thanks again, loving this tail.

Oh yeah very nice. Let me know the price for the CF variation I'm definately all in for this tail.

Sorry about that......... Car is looking great man Have you noticed any issues with the stock wiring at all? I read somewhere that some of the lighting wiring isnt that great and have been looking at some of the wiring upgrades over at The Z store...but am not sure if they are really necessary.

Glad to hear you are back bro What gearing are you running? and why do you have to get a fiberglass hood? What are your new impressions of the .58? I know you said that the other was too hard to drive on the streets tho fast, but what are your driving impressions of this one? How and where is the spool when the real power kicks in?
