Obviously you didnt look too hard yourself to find answers.
But your new here, so...

#1 - http://www.toymods.net/forums/showthread.php?t=13803
#2 - Probably not. Obviously youll need custom dump pipes, etc.
#3 - Tried calling you local Toyota dealership spare parts department?
#4 - Yes, R154.

BTW, you know the car probably wont be street legal right?
To be legal, youll have to have a certified engineer sign off on it, and then have DOT/RTA approve it (which they may not do).
If it not legal, and you have a serious accident involving a 3rd party, insurance will not cover you.

1. have read but cant find any ma61 calipers
2. i knew about the custom dump pipe i was wondering about the manifold will a premade made fit because i dont wanna throw money away if it dont fit strut tower to tower is approximately 750mm so if anyone can measure thier 1j width that would be awesome.
3. tries toyota dealerships they cant give me any part/s without a vin number, does anybody else make them??

oh yeah and about the engineering in queensland it is different i have seen a 2jz in a ra28 here. so a lil 1jz should be fine.
is their a max number of u can do to a car in queensland??

Why are you looking for MA61 calipers? (They should be easy to find anyway)
Go with the hilux/corona/pug setup.

Find the part number here: http://www.toyodiy.com/parts/

Just because youve seen a 2JZ in a RA28 doesnt mean it is legal, and if it is, it doesnt mean they will approve one now... rules change.

if you want a quote on fabrication work to get the thing done properly

as in,
mounts,
gbox cross member,
tailshaft,
hilux diff conversion,
manifold,
dump pipe,
exhaust,
radiator,
intercooler,
cooler piping,
sump/pickup modifications

etc etc, and can arrange for Mod plating etc etc.

see Craig - Extreme Custom Engineering
Unit 2/142 Beaty Rd, Archerfield, 4108

he does this stuff day in day out.. he will be able to help point you in the right direction..

In Qld, 2.5litre forced induction is biggest you can fit into that weight of car.

For rings, get them off eBay or an online performance shop, Being brisbane based you could also try Lee's performance parts down at Springwood.

Stew's 1JZ RA28 is in the Forum Members Rides, not the Car Club Members Rides, so is viewable by any forum member.
