1JZ E30 Vert Build Thread with Pastry filled wheels

I also painted the cover over the blower motor. Huge pain. I used a torch to burn the old material off, then a wire wheel, then cleaned and painted it.

Thanks Snap but Chubs has been working on this equally, if not harder than me!!

Thanks man, and I agree. I wanted to get all new hardware but getting laid off and still performing the swap has made my life, well, creative. I intend on just getting it driving and then going back and slowing making everything MUCH much better.

Is that the engine from his e46?

90% of the brakes are complete. I ran all the hard lines minus the Bias valve that I am picking up tomorrow. I also managed to run the reservoir for the clutch slave cylinder. See my sneakiness? I plan on doing the same with the brake reservoir later too. Funds and time are playing a big part here for me now. Its crunch time.

No. He sold the car to Jake. I managed to find a motor and trans for the mega cheap.

I knew working at Allis Bike part time would come in handy besides my biking addiction. I picked up a bike brake cable, housing, and misc knarps, ferrels, and barrel ends for making the throttle cable linkage. I used a dirty finger (hehe) and a nice piece of bond paper and created an outline of the mounting holes on the intake manifold for the cable bracket. I then created a quick sketch of what I will probably weld together tomorrow to make it all work together.

Love seeing updates here. But I have to balance the love with some hate so I hate that style of fuel injector connector

Time for some more updates. As some of you know, the car is running and driving now! There are a few things I still need to address, but I will certainly get to them.

Here is the throttle bracket I made. I needed to modify the cable on the firewall side but managed to not take any pictures.

The next big step was wiring. Since the harness I had was cut up, it was decided that we strip out all the things that weren't needed and start fresh. Chubs did all the wiring as I worked on the cooling system. He's wired this swap in Jakes e46 so I had faith in his knowledge.
