[Danners]

Hi Guys,

I received my JZA70 half cut two weeks ago and have begun work. Just thought i'd share Saturday's success with everyone!



The removal of the p00 begins!







Frontal Lobotomy!

YAY dan ! good work !

Im so jelious , i cant wait for next year to come so i can do this too

you must be amped

[Danners]

Yeah i am! I usually have a really pessimistic attitude when it comes to anything involved with cars... but so far its been surprisingly easy for a bunch of guys that don't really know what they're doing

i hope it goes in ez!

more pics would be good

Full photo journal of the conversion !

[MR 1JZ]

good luck with it danners...should be a relatively seamless conversion

[Danners]

Yeah - I'd like to take more, but needing to completely clean the hands before using the camera is annoying. I'll try and take some more next time!

good work!

those pics are very good quality mate. clear as a bell.

oh great, i get a slightly quicker soarer then find out you're going ahead with the 1J conversion...


Well there's a huge power gap now... hahaha...

And your soarer STILL looks better than mine!

Best of luck with the swap, hope it all goes well!

Its whats on the inside that counts

There needs to be a christening cruise once it (fingers crossed) starts

Are you doing what some of the SA/ WA guys have done and just dropping the guts of your MZ20 and bolting up all the JZA70 subframe?

[MR 1JZ]

^^ danners has a 91 model soarer...so afaik he wont have too it should all bolt right in

Hadn't planned on it, was just going to swap the engines. I don't know if i have the ability to drop the engine with the limited amount of lifting materials I have at home.

I wasn't even aware that I could run into this possible problem!

What year was the cutoff for these changes? Mine's a 90' Soarer.

nah you are all good with your car...i belive its 89.5 and later soarers and supras had the different X member (7M equipped models anyway) and the dropping straight in of a 1J is a-ok
