    Wow, thats really cool!

    What size wheels do you have there? 17s? Cuss i'm loving how the R33 gear fills them out.

    Nice work guys.....Whats going on there with the air inlet piping?
    Did the auto from the blue cressida just bolt up to the 1JZ?

    same question as ace..

    if you are using the same box, what about the ecu and wiring up of the box i.e. O/D button and ECT switch.. does it work?

    if using different box, does the O/D and ECT function work still?

    Sweet, thanks for the pics Jesse!

    Also I forgot to add Gerald1 and Ace to the thankyou list, Gez for helping remove the bonnet & pulling off a few other random bits & Ace for helping with the supply of thermo fan & fuel filter & aiding in the removal of the 5M.

    The wheels are only 16" so the brakes really do fill them out well, the disc diameter is 298mm (approx 12"). They look sweet hey!

    Ace, that piping you're looking at is the intercooler piping, it's got a bit of cloth taped over the end that connects up to the cooler.
    And the transmission used was the original 1JZ tranny out of the white one. Yes the O/D & ECT buttons do work, but I don't know how or why, all the wiring was left up to Mos when the original conversion was under taken, & for this one we just swapped everything over.

    Ooh also, she made 194rwkW at dyno day (a little less than I was expecting, but still pleasing) and pulled a 13.210 @ 105MPH at the drags on wednesday night, which I am quite happy with.
    Once I pedal the old girl home I'll really be able to say Mission Accomplished.

    Mission REALLY accomplished!!!

    Here I am back in Adelaide, after leaving at 1pm Sydney time yesterday, and the Cressida performed flawlessly. Tops!!!

    Now that I'm home I can relax for a few days, & I'll have a chance to update a few things, particularily my members ride thread. What I really look forward to though is sitting on my arse & doing nothing (despite the fact my arse is numb after my 13 hour drive ).

    Thanks Ace, I should be right for gloves for a little while, after the last couple of weeks I'd like nothing better than to never see a spanner again (well, for at least a few days, it's about time I got that Celica back on the black top!).
