I apologize for that Sir, are Yall planning any meets anytime soon? They all look pretty stock on the Outside, but the Personalized Plates kinda give it away! LOL They are 2JZ350Z & LS1350Z, some people get it & some dont even notice. Thank You Sir, I Hope You & your Family are doing Well too!

Ok, Thanks, I am running a Mishimoto Radiator. Shroud & fan setup & it is not keeping up with the Engine/Texas Heat, it gets up to around 210/215 on Hot Summer days & I am Not Comfortable with that Temp.... I have My 3 Swapped Z's & I am Not able to get that HP to the Ground, what are Your plans to get Those type of HP #'s to the Ground? Traction has been My biggest challenge so far! LOL

So when i welded the diff i got a little carried away and welded in the stub axles so to put the lsd in a have to cut the open diff out. It took some time and a few big cut off wheels to cut throw the stub axles and get the diff out
Then i had a hell of a mess to clean up. Metal in all the bearings so i had to take them all out and clean them and pressure wash them.

The new tomei 1.5 way installed . C
My dad had a few jeep 15in wheels laying aound so i gave them a test,they might fit with so 275 drag radials.

Installed the diff and took the car for a little drive and i noticed a oil leak from the back of the oil pan, and with jow close my oil pan sits to the subframe u cant pull it off with the subframe installed. So i used my engine lift to support the engine and i pulled the subframe off to get to the oil pan

Jealous that you can pretty much build all your piping needs! So I been following this build and I'm leaning towards starting a 350-2jz build. I stop by local shops with jdm motors and it seems like the VQDE-rev up is hard to find. The reason for my search, I finally experience the "Rod Knock" issue that everyone is having. And the shop that I was in is selling a 2jz-vvti motor/trans for $2000 out the door. Ive search online for bolt-on adapters for the motor to tranny and motor brackets that'll bolt to my solid motor mounts. What are your HP goals for that 2jz?
