johnch Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 (edited) Hi All, name is John - 33 getting old Joined the forum since I am starting a 2jzgte conversion into a relatively new IS250. Engine is here, waiting on transmission. Been reading a lot and gathered a lot of good information - great forum! for initial startup will need a few parts so I will be posting them in the wanted section - all your help appreciated. hope to be posting on progress soon. This is the car btw. - Very dirty as there was some construction going on near my girl friends house and then it rained in the morning /vbb/images/smilies/bbcode_angry.gif http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/4317/dsc0071r.jpg http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/8722/dsc0326q.jpg http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/8815/dsc0177qh.jpg http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/9022/dsc0168hp.jpg Edited July 5, 2010 by johnch (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnch Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 (edited) Hi John, mean car u got there. What wheels are those? A Sheep in a wolfs skin (or however the saying goes). Wheels are something I got from local sponsor - Cheap Lenso Project D1R - 18X9 +32 front, 18X10 +22 rear. These were a test fit set that I liked and kept for daily driving. Yo Your car looks great! It'll be something else with a 2JZ in it What gearbox will you be using? Thanks, Will probably go for the r154 for starters and then move to a v16x. why? well I will probably be transplanting another 2jz going into my dedicated try to "beat the competition" car (3rd place last year in gymkhana unlimited class because of a Bad diff ) and the S14 will benefit from the lighter gearbox as it wont need all that much power. http://www.driftclub-il.com/johnc/Images/Nissan/217-wmdc3.jpg Edited July 7, 2010 by johnch (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallshinyant Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 cool, gymkhana stuff. any videos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Sounds good! Was going to say the R154 would be a great choice if not going for the V160/161 as it'll handle more than the W58 (that's what I have (I'm NA-TT)) which can see about 400 but then gets troublesome. Best of luck with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradleyh_15 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 you going to keep the twin set up or going to go single? your IS is looking sweet! you putting a 2jz into your nissan to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnch Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 (edited) cool, gymkhana stuff. any videos Hi, dont think I have anything from the gymkhana worth seeing, mostly I have vids from our club training. - Actually looked through whats available by doing a google search for my name as far as gymkhanas are concerned and its pretty weak and nothing recent. please don't judge based on those /vbb/images/smilies/bbcode_oops.gif Google search heres the link for my name and you will see a couple vids of me on the nurburgring with a 911 and one of me filming my friend in an RS4. fastest I have ever been clocked is 8:03 BTG on a regular c2 with a clear track - fastest video I have is 8:23 with a few interruptions along the way. They yellow carded me for half the day because I was filming Sounds good! Was going to say the R154 would be a great choice if not going for the V160/161 as it'll handle more than the W58 (that's what I have (I'm NA-TT)) which can see about 400 but then gets troublesome. Best of luck with it Thanks. you going to keep the twin set up or going to go single? your IS is looking sweet! you putting a 2jz into your nissan to? Single from the start but probably something small to begin with 450 - 500 After she is running, a/c works, gauge cluster etc etc , then engine will come out and built to hold 800hp and will run 650 daily. swap in v16x at this point in time. Yes, putting a 2jz in the nissan. it kind of defeats the whole keeping it light but i am moving and removing so much stuff from the front, the weight distribution and placement wont be hurt too bad and firewall modifications are going to be needed to move it back even more.
