Back in the Z game - 2JZ 350Z
Some of you may remember my HKS Supercharged 350Z
Which I sold to buy a R34 GTR
Which I then sold to buy a house & a Supra
Then I blew the supra motor & its been sat around since June having a forged engine built.
A few weeks ago I broke up with my GF & my brother decided to sell his 350Z. I managed to get a good deal off him so I'm now the owner of another Z
I stripped the Supra of all the un-needed bits & sold the shell. The Z will be going into my mates garage soon to have the VQ removed & a forged 2JZ fitted
The 2JZ is currently at my engine builder where it will have the following spec
Eagle Rods
Wiseco Pistons
Titan Oil Pump
OEM water pump
ARP bolts
ACL bearings
New OEM gaskets
Titan cam gears
BC Cams
BC valves
BC retainers
Borg Warner S366 turbo
SRD intake manifold
PHR pulleys
We are still working out the details of the fuel system.
Target is 700hp hopefully with a similar torque figure
I've also got a Syvecs S6 ECU left over from the Supra that will be used and a few other nice parts that we can transfer over. Hoping to have the car done by April depending on how much money I can afford to spare.

Bye bye underpowered VQ 
Engine mount kit and new wiring harness were ordered last week and should be here in about 3 weeks, conversion kit to use the 350Z gearbox was ordered last week also. Hoping to have the engine in and running by the end of January and then just need to sort out the race tech dash, roll cage and suspension

why? Because I can
This my 4th 350z, I've got to the point now where I know them pretty much inside out. I really wish I never sold the original Z I had tbh.
I never got on with the Supra - infact I hated it! Once the engine let go in it I lost all hope with the car.
I had a high mileage 350Z & a broken 2JZ seemed like the logical thing to do

Lol, good for you 
What sucked about the Supra? I know some people complain it handles like a tank, or was it the general feel of it?

350Z-2JZ subframe, engine mounts and brackets turned up
went to offer it up to the car and we all realised we had overlooked something - its for a LHD car
so rather than mess about with moving the mounting points around we just did this to the existing subframe
its off to get powdercoated blue tomorrow
Had a few deliveries today
Koyo 54mm radiator
Cusco Street Zero Coilovers, Front & Rear ARBs
Defi control unit, Boost, Oil pressure & Oil temp gauges
GReddy clear 2JZ engine cover
Race tech dash should be here next week. Need to order new suspension arms, Brides & a BBK in the next few days also.

Hopefully should have the engine back in the next 2 weeks. All we need now is the engine harness & a fuel pump - still debating on whether I should go for a single intank high flow pump or a couple of external pumps like a Bosch 044 
A couple of more parts have turned up for the build in the last few weeks
GT Spec braces
Chase bays 2JZ-350Z power steering tank
Race technology Dash 2
2JZ to 350Z gearbox conversion kit (Clutch has yet to arrive though
)
More Cusco goodies
Also bought my Bride Euro II seats back from a friend
Agency Power exhaust
And I also bought a set of Akebonos with Stoptech disks and Project Mu pads
We are a little bit worried about temps so have wrapped the turbo side in gold heat wrap
