View Full Version : And so it begins. The jzx81 Mark II.
Got her the other night at long last!
Only things i've done so far were add a comical gearknob and air freshener and remove the mirror tint from the three back windows.
Here's a few pics, all advise, criticism and ideas are more than welcome.

Poteeeentionial! Is the grill part of the bonnet? If not throw it as far away as possible! My M2 Hanbai wheels would look sweet on that too!
What are your plans for it? It needs wheelage

Feck. All the 81's are in cork!
Like Darragh says it has great potential, and a savage cage!
Best of luck with it man. Not a fan of the tinted rear lights though. Grill is marmite and I'm undecided lol
where the hell did you find this??iv been on every sie for months lookin for an 81 for sale in Irl?best of luck with it.if you want to sell let me know..
my old car,get some decent wheels, i loved that car:)

and i always liked the grill. think it was off a r32 gtr,
grill reminds me of the pug 405 front end.

lovely mark II lad, as darragh said ditch the grill and get some rimmage
thats one seeeerious gear knob hahah wow... cool car loada potential.. get some wheels.
Remember seeing this out at mondello and them sitting up in wicklow for yolks. Where's the cool exhaust gone?!
Needs wheels, and the front end needs angrying, looks more taxi than drift car up front! Ha
Do it justice!

sweet!!! so much potential! get wheels man! (mine are for sale at the right price!;) )
this is the only pic i have of the front of it,it used to look much better with the front splitter,did you get the front splitter i gave it to the guy i sold it to, just needed a little fixing,
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/turboraff/drftcars114.jpg by the way them wheels in the picture were 9.5x18 et 20, 235 40 18 all round and never rubbed
Lovely base lad, best of luck with her!
Thanks for all the comments lads, appreciate all kinds of feedback.
As many of ye pointed out, decent wheels are first on the list, wide 17s or 18s et 20+ so pm me if you've anything nice for sale (nikkisixx p.m me)
Next on the list is the kit and spoiler (like the one in the pic below), a different, lighter bonnet and a new paint job (colour undecided but a nice brown is top of the list). http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:5_tc37HRfHd3gM:http://www.koso-koso.com/Bobbybrown/Blackbird/47.jpg&t=1
Would love a bigger front mount, decent gauges for inside and eventually some minor performance mods but happy with the power it has at the moment. (SCARY)
The old exhaust was class so have to get one like it.
I never even thought about the grille but i like it as is, maybe if i saw some other option it could persuade me to change my mind.
Hate the tinted back lights too so must get that sorted
Need to tidy up the interior too somehow
@ jdmjimmy: He came to me wanting to p/x with an oul fwd sprinter i had for sale.
As for the lads who want to buy it, if i ever decide to sell this site will be the first place i advertise it. ;)
Anyway, money is scarce as ye all know so it will be a slow painful process.
Looking forward to more comments so keep em rolling in.
Thanks lads.
Will look yum with some dish......love black 81s! Nice to see her in Cork too.............Best of luck with her man. Any questions etc just ask.......oh and remember im your local 81 parts dealer.......if u need anything, let me know
Best of luck with it, liking the sounds of your plans for it. :D

F*ck it tom i must subconsciously hate you or something as you keep slipping my mind. If you need t sell it soon leave it off to anyone else that might be interested coz since i bought this bitch it's getting all my money, not even giving presents for xmas cos of it. :p
Booked the nct 5 mins ago, got it for 8 oclock tomorrow morning!! :D Anyone know whether the cage and two way will fail?
Fredericks Balls
14-12-10, 18:45
Oh shit must do the same! I think you have to tell the tester I has a two way so they can test the brakes separately or something...
Ok so failed the test anyway, yr man was not impressed. Front wheel bearing, rear axle bushes, rear wish bone bushes, steering linkage, no rear seat belts, tracking, exhaust too loud, cracked windscreen and all for springs on the coilovers are fitted incorrectly* and are loose?
Would i be best off getting all the bushes upgraded to performance ones? especially axle bushes because they are under alot of strain with the two way?
Everything else is easily sorted, toyota parts dept wont know what hit em! ha
ian g sr20
16-12-10, 21:18
keep up the wotk lad, nice ould motor u got urself their
The springs being loose was probably the locking collars not holding them in place, so just raise them until they do and it'll be fine on the retest. I dread to think what my car would fail on if I got it tested.
Fredericks Balls
16-12-10, 21:34
Lol, sorry to laugh because mine will probably be the same but that list makes it sound like a top gear challenge car :D
As for bushings I might be able to help, leave it with me till the weekend ;)
Any grief with the cage?
No, cage, diff, brakes, lights, fog lights etc were all fine! :D

You will need spacers to run them looking decent. Search username cub18, his JZX90 had those wheels and looked really good.
As for the belts give Barry McCann a shout, tell him Kieran (me lol) sent ye. His number is on a thread in the general chat section looking for BMC
they would fit but wouldent look good, dan moorehead has a set of wheels for sale, the exact same as used to be on it, for very cheap

Sound lad, i'll p.m him there.
Coulkdn't afford dan moorheads ones so got these instead. I really like, they do need spacing but der not bad lookin at all me thinks.

Bought a big GTR Front mount, off chuck's orange drifter, have to remove the battery n do lots of vutting to get it fitting right.
Need to get it to someone who knows about tuning the engine as it's not on top form whatever's up. Bodyshop will be ready to take her within the next fortnight for a full respray.. Found a standard splitter for it, that's goin on and by the time it's back i should have some GTR brakes ready to stick on her. Loads to do, very little time to do it... :(
Gots me some 4 pot datsun callipers and vented n drilled discs off chuck g. Must have a trial fit tomorrow. Bodywork has begun, also butchered the life out of the front end to get d big cunt of a cooler to fit...

Thats some sweet flair on the back! You'll be fit to get some mansized 10j's on there i'd say.
PS there is a PFC going through the auctions in the next two days, marked x90 & jzasomething but thats what I have I think, just need the conversion harness bit!
By any chance is my cousin doin the body work, he put up pics on his Facebook awhile ago.
Sean Hanley?

car looks great man ,but im sorry i hate the wheels i think ya could do better ,nice tho !
Thanks lads.
@git I'm on the hunt for nicer ones but have bigger fish to fry at the moment. I personally didn't think they were nice at first but they have grown on me alot lately. Need muchos spacing on the rear and coilovers need moar low on front nd it'll be a big improvement. All in good time sure. :D
Only spotting this thread now. Awesome car in the flesh. One of my favourites from the Charity drive. Felt sorry for ya on the first day with the exhaust
looks fucking AWESOME. i need a standard kit for my cefiro pronto

I saw this at the hotel in nenagh on the last day of the drive and was simply blown away with it I knew the car straight away but had never followed the progress on here so went from the first picture which was pretty bad to a minter. some transformation credit to ya man absolute credit!
Jeez lads, thanks a million for al the deadly comments. Cant wait to hear what ye say when it's finished! :P By the way what do ye make of the grille now that i have a splitter. Some lads hated it before but i think it suits it now with the chin splitter..?
Fredericks Balls
27-07-11, 09:09
It does look savage though. And big chrome wheels will make it even better but for now some spacers would make a big difference. Your arches have been well flared for them
I like the grill, theres actually one going through yahoo ATM i was very tempted! And with the splitter the front looks very cool
:afro:
Unreal! love it, as said different wheels and it will be amazing, cant wait to see it then.
Recommend wheels to me lads, i've a thread up looking for a set..
Anyways here's a few more pics from over the last few weeks...

Gonna be getting the bushings replaced with custom made polyeurathane ones.
Serviced it recently with new oils in gearbox, diff and engine. Timing belt kit is next on the list.
Struggling to find a windscreen as mine is cracked and wont pass the nct.
Also in talks with a guy about custom making a new stainless steel exhaust from turbo back, car should be driving and sounding ALOT better by xmas.. :D..
