View Full Version : 1JZ Altezza project
So.... where do I start, most of ye know me for loving my hachis for so many years (got it back in mid 2006), I absolutely loved it, it ended up becoming a money pit sitting as a garden ornament for a long time till I got sense and gave it death for a few months till the inevitable happened

Without getting to down about it I decided to make a decision quickly wheter to repair/reshell or what, it was loaded with expensive rare parts which of most was salvageable thank god, So I began selling all that stuff and luckily enough hardly any of it is left, It funded me to where I am now,
I bought this tez with the intentions of turning it into a drift car,

So next plan of action is next free space Roco has he's going to put the lot together, Get it wired and then Martin Treacy to map it hopefully in less than a months time she'll be rolling under 1JZ steam.
wish u the very very best of luck with this man, if seeing u drifting a hachi is anything to go by you'll be savage in a turbo yoke...
this will be the job! seen this car before you bought it mint car to use? will it be a track car or will you run it on the rd too??

I'm not going to hold off doing mods that might compromise it been a road car so I'll just keep going ahead with it and when I'm finished if its road legal then happy days,
Thanks Ste!
Looking forward to seeing what you do with this man.

Standard for the time being should be good for approx 350bhp with boost controller and some other small supporting mods,

what boost was that at ?
looking forward to seen this lovely cam aswell
Cam still looks unreal!!
looking forward to seen this lovely cam aswell
What cam i thought this thread was about a 1jz altezza :confused:
hahaha the 86 is dead, well actually the shell is sold I've heard some crazy rumours about whats in store for it but I wont be doing it another member will be if it goes ahead, The mechanical side of things should be just about wrapped up with everything sitting in place for its last time, I think by the weekend it will be getting some custom stainless bits crafted for it and then just wire and map, sounds pretty simple lets hope it is, I think I'm gonna need coilys but sure I'll wait and see,
PICS JASON !!!! Oh and cogratulations on the other thing :cool: !!!

any update on this??
and pics!!!
For the last 3 months Ive been at a dead end due to the smallest thing, Been sorted in the next few days hopefully, Its a minor clutch problem, The box is a pull type and the ACT clutch I got is push type the 2 dont go together without the right bits, everything else is mounted/mocked in its final place this is the only hiccup, only thing thats left is to get FMIC kit and full exhaust made up which can be done straight away after this then just wire and map, so close but still another bit to go,

Small update, no real progress made but were starting to get places,
The gearbox problem has finally been answered, All along I had a W58 box here that came with the engine, The W58 and R154 look very similar so obviosuly I couldnt tell the difference, I went off and spent a good bit of cash on ACT clutch and flywheel, After putting the lot together its obvious an R154 pull clutch isnt going to work in a push W58 box so after lots and lots of head scratching (3months to be exact lol) we indentified the box as a W58, :( , Christy has been very helpful and I dont think its his fault we all came to the conclusion the R154 must have blown in Japan and maybe just needed a replacement quickly and they had all the W58 stuff on the shelf or something and just put that in,
Anyway, where I am at now is, Christy can get me a R154 but it has the wrong bellhousing, DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A 1JZ BELLHOUSING ANYWHERE????
Another option I have is which I'm reluctant to do but would atleast get the car moving, I could get a W58 clutch set up and run that box for a while but thats more expense (buying a clutch flywheel etc) and still end up with a weaker box, It is an option though as I really want to get this car on the road ASAP would love to have it for the xmas hols,
So if anyone can help me out on the above please get in touch, the main thing is now we know whats wrong and how to fix it.
They are as rare as hens teeth those bellhousings I think there was a crowd in Taiwan or tailand making copies but from what I've heard if you buy from Toyota Uk and get the vat off it works out about the same price circa 300gbp maybe a bit less it awhile now since I checked it out.give me a ring about it if you want jay.
Sorry to hear about the gearbox woes Jay. I''ll keep an eye out for a bell housing for you.
heres a bell housing for sale on driftworks if helps

Thanks buddy, I was too late, I dont be on DW at all hardly and missed it, Looks like gonna have to order one, :(
Right the quickest and easiest way out of the bellhousing problem was just to order one could be waiting months for one to turn up 2nd hand and I eventually found one from a company in Thailand called K's Racing (worked out cheaper than 2nd hand ones in the UK), I done a bit of research on them and nobody had any probs so I said feck it how bad can they be, I emailed him a couple of times and he did me a deal on these, I know I'm going to want them down the line at some stage so I saved on shipping and got a bit off buying the 4 together,

What is it.. A mail order bride?
Sooooo, very slowly slowly making progress, Ive other prioritys going on at the min so only chipping away with this here and there, I bought a mani and inlet few months back and was going fit them when I was upgrading the turbo, I had planned to get the hard pipes made up shortly for the IC when I thought to myself that I'll have to get them modified again when I get the turbo so I held out for a few weeks and couldnt turn down the offer of this turbo for the money, Most of the time Im not a brand whore I just like value for money and this seems to be one of the best "cheap" turbos out there good for 500bhp based on Holset HX35
http://i50.tinypic.com/8yiagp.jpg
Was on the lookout for coilovers too and lucky enough a set of Cusco's came up for sale so picked them up few months ago too,
I finally have all the parts needed for the gearbox such a fucking nightmare I had to buy a whole box just to get the shifter housing and I still have to get it modified for it to suit, Toyota wanted €750 just for the shifter housing and linkage,
Its up with Yowdy at the min getting wired and hardpipes done, hopefully the next update will be a video of it actually moving lol,
I think about 2 years ago carpo brought in a Project Mu big brake kit that was for sale for peanuts I tracked down the fella that bought them but he sold them again without fitting them to some fella in Cork he doesnt know who he was or hasnt got his number, Does anyone know where these ended up? As far as I know they still havent been fitted to a car in Ireland just changed hands a few times,
Anyway thats all for now,

is it running yt jay? will be run when done? will it be just track or road and track?
Hope to have it back before xmas but prob pushing it at that, gonna be a road car to start out anyway,
I think i still have the disks jay, def not calipers but spotted the disks the other day take them away
Seriously sick of this car at the min after losing all interest in it, its so close to been finished but I'm just kinda done with the car scene for a while, Ive no time for it anymore, 8k would take this the way it sits, €500 or less will have it driving and could be done in a weekend, I'll still keep tipping away locating the bits I need maybe I will actually finish it lol,
Your best off finishing it dude, be hard pressed to sell it for 8k unfinished no matter whats left to do...

I thought this was gonna be a dickhead bumping old threads, thankfully its not.. Hope you get it finished man, id to drop jay home after he rolled the cam that time in mondello. Sound oul lad he was, had actually wondered if he had finished this lady off.

Awesome that you are finishing this off man, jay was a really sound dude!
Is the power steering pump off the altezza? Dont they tend to be shite and people upgrade them to a sr20 pump?

Says he got it off an IS300 which would be a 2JZ, possibly same as 1JZ pump? I dunno, different to a 3SGE one anyway which do give bother
i read up about the power steering.he said just drive it, that it must be badly air locked or blocked and a gud drive wil sort it.got fans out of a mondeo,all wired up.was a tight fit and fitted cusco coilovers.its comming along now
