what you at cost wise so far just engine and making it work wise?

 

As far as drive train? If I had to guess around $35-40,000 so far. If you want exacts I can take out all of my invoices, but that should be an accurate guess.

 

This is real talk 4 sure....... I dropped almost 7-8k just to get the stock 2JZGTE running on jdm twins.. I could only imagine Graff to be in the mentioned range above with all the quality aftermarket components. Once you starting shooting for anything above 500HP on the JZ is when things can start to get very very expensive. Following this build myself like a UPS shipment lol

 

I'm at 11k-13k and the car should be running in a week or so. It should be puting down ~520whp on 91oct and ~700whp on C16.

 

Graff first off holy chit.

Midz you talking about your v8 build?

 

No. 2JZGTE, CD0009 6MT, BW S366, AEM V2, BOSCH 1000cc, TITAN fuel rail, ARP head studs, BC cam gears, Gates timing belt. We will start wiring and start it up next week hopefully.

 

glad to see your still plugging away at this have been looking forward to seeing this complete

 

held off on getting the forum app on my phone for a long time... but solely because of this thread, i had to. SICK build. awesome parts, great to see a build done right the first time. excited to see further posts/pictures/videos. keep truckin amigo.

 

Just read every page love it can't wait to see the final outcome and some pics !

 

Thanks guys! I do have some stuff to post up here, I just don't get on a computer much to post everything, normally I am on here from my phone or while at work.

 

I would like to hear about any updates about this build. I am too lazy to PM you, Mike. Even though I just replied to one from you yesterday. And I'm sure there are more people interested in an update. Therefore I posted. That is all. This was a PSA made by my jealousy. Thank you.

 

Haha!

Some more things have arrived. I finally have a heater for the garage which will be on tonight and I plan to be in there Saturday and Sunday. It's been an average of 20-30 degrees so the garage has been cold, once I warm it up it should stay warm for a few days, especially with the heater. I plan on ripping everything out of the car and start on the harness as well as strip objects that are not needed anymore.

Here are some pics that Evasive took when my Harnesses arrived at their shop. Their pictures are much more professional than my iPhone pics will ever be hah.

Nismo 4pt Harness made by Willans.

 

need moar....

 

Things are slower than usual, unfortunately. Sucks to say but I am still working at it. I have made some changes though.

T6 Full Race mani has been changed to T4 Full Race
4788 is changing to Precision 8685
Seibon hood is sold. When the new hood arrives, I will post pictures. As of my knowledge, it's the first and only in the USA and I am almost certain it's the only one outside of their test/track car.
Lug nuts I have will be sold for the Amuse lugs once they produce more. Their first run apparently sold out instantly.

Have been waiting for brakes to arrive for 3-4 months now, shouldn't be much longer...I hope.

Still have to update with pictures of car / parts. Thankfully it's not 15 degrees anymore.

 

Mike your build is one of the most high-quality, no-holes-barred, no compromise builds I have ever seen on any platform as a privateer with no full sponsorship.

Who cares if it's taking a while; you told me that this build is about doing exactly what you want and I say good on ya. That being said, can't wait to see more progress

 

if you are changing up setups, why not go with a DDtuning promod v-band manifold and a promod 88?

 

Thanks man!

Full race is taking the T6 manifold back at no charge so all I am paying for is the new coating on the T4 manifold and shipping.


Little teaser from Evasive Motorsports. (They took the pic) These are on their way and should be arriving at my house next Wednesday/Thursday after many months of waiting.

 

Damn. Can't believe I've never seen this build before. Very nice! Which Endless kit is that? My R6/R4's are starting to show some wear, but I've been running 'em for almost 7 years now.

 

Thanks! Oh damn, well that's a good amount of time on them to just be seeing some wear now.

They are:

Anodized Red instead of their standard Blue
R6 370mm rotor
R4 332mm rotor
E Slit Rotors
MX72 Pads
RF-650 Fluid
SS brake lines

 

Nice! Love the red.
