my project 1jz super custom

like to say hi to everyone , thanks for checking out my thread
been around fast cars for ever , and being a moto-x racer for as long as i can remember ive always had a fast car and a slow van or ute (for mx)

many years ago i transformed my slow hilux ute into a monster with a 1jz gt30 single turbo and a 6 speed getrag gearbox from a jza80 supra. with 400 rwhp it was pretty scarey to drive and i sold it not long after i built it ..( only to have the new owner put it into a pole about a month later )

well this is my next project i just bought last night

1995 super custom 2wd petrol 2rz , 1 owner that privately imported it when he moved from dubai to perth western australia.

i have been looking for a SC for a while and not seen any petrols locally , and all the others on the market are over priced ( in my opinion ) 13-20k

was looking into importing one myself , but again 12k-14k by time it landed and 3 months wait i wasnt looking forward to waiting that long.

nough dribble here's some pics of her, i even TEST FITTED my 18" mags from my jzx90 mark2 just to see how offsets fit .

1st mod limo tint windows, remove all rear seating and curtains , lower it ! and find some nice mags .. and when im ready i have a 1jzgte engine package sitting in my shed thats planning to go in .( i might still decide to go 2jzgte , so thats why im waiting out a bit )

digi dash and chocolate interior ..

Welcome to the forums.. and keep us posted on any / all the work you do..

There will probable be interest on all the bits you decide not to use...

Mines similar to yours but 3.0 diesel, 8 seat, no reversing sensors or digi dash. (or the smart wheels )

Welcome mate,
2rz is a good little motor but had one for 20 odd years, the implant sounds better tho.. Is that a combo wireless gps 2 din in the dash ?

oooh check you out with the combo wireless gps 2din !

its actually just an ebay eonon tv/dvd player .. i think it has gps .. they are only cheap like $300 odd dollars , was already fitted when i bought it seems to go ok for china junk

Hey cool SC, pretty much exactly like mine except colour, i have the seats and sensors like yours and digi dash. and mines the 3L DT. look forward to the updates.

Same inside as mine but a lot cleaner/tidier!

Got single DIN cd/radio/multi changer and a cubby (nik nak) hole.

My dash surround has been butchered by an attempted break in and radio snatch, part of the reason why the previous owner put it up for spares or repair and I got a bargain.

Do you have the hot/cool box and kettle?

No sensors on mine either but with the rear mirror I can part inch perfect from other cars, if i make a mistake that's what the tow bar is for!

Mines Diesel and runs on 100% used cooking oil.

Used Cooking oil! Do you hang around restaurants late at night waiting for them to close? How much cooking oil? Does it affect the running?

Mmmm, 2JZ, yummy. I'm about 2 boost my oiler but that is just wild. Can you rego it in WA? My mates 2JZ Aristo is a weapon, but in a Super Custom....Let us know how it goes.

well there is no reason why it cant be engineered. the hilux was engineer approved and lic'd with the 1jz

but im going to just risk it until pulled over .. not like mr plod will be checking out the grandma van anyway ..

there is 2x 2jz and 1x 1jz i know of over east just youtube 1jz hiace it can be done , has been done !

looks like its going to be a 2jzgte , as i just sourced one and made the purchase

I have a supply from a good old UK fish and chip shop. 100% used oil till the temp gips below -5 oC, then I add 5% petrol.

Runs well, a little less MPG/KPL than Diesel but a lot more grunt.

Better with or without salt and vinegar?

With

Well batter make no bones about it and skate round to my local. No fries with that. Oil be alright thanks. Fry up the street back to my place. Credit or COD? Will remove my horn if i am going to have grunt. Any way good way to save a squid.

you gotta be kidding ! Hang your head in shame

Damn, there goes the neighbourhood

Or should that have been..

you gotta be codding

I shall say no more

Look when the chips are down..........

Hey thats cool...price of diesel is getting out of hand at present.
Are you able to list the parts and details of the changes needed to run on oil?
Is there any major downsides to this?
Does the tempreture effect how the van runs?
Thanks in advance.
