Thats about all I can think of right now, time to bored you with the story of my car :D

Fell in love with Supra's while playing GT1, loved the A70 back then because it was a cheap car and won me lots of races, and the A80 because it could hit 400km/h+ on the test track :D. Over the years I dreamed of owning my own. After getting my P's and driving around in a VN wagon I decided to go on a mystical quest to find my very own Supra.

Was at an import lot on day looking at any black manual A70's. All of the ones there were non turbo and had faded and cracked paint. Decided that I didn't want something that would need a respray within a few weeks, was about to call off my search for one. Walking out of the yard I noticed another one, white, 5 speed and 100% stock. Took it for a test drive and loved it. Two weeks later I was driving it home!

My car in its new home, sadly I don't have any pictures of when I first got it, but this is how it looks now.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y295/Xsjdao/IMGP0651resized.jpg

Over the next few months I did the basic kind of stuff, got a head deck that could play cd's, some decent 18" wheels and new suspension. Car felt like it it was on rails. Car was a dream to drive now and I couldn't be happier. Then some time in June, my good friend rod knock decided to turn up on the way to work. Was good and bad because I always wanted to get rid of the little 1G(didn't deserve any pictures:D) but at the same time I wasn't expecting to do an engine swap so soon.

3 weeks later my donor car arrived, JZA70 that lost a fight with a telephone pole. Over the next 3 months the engine swap slowly took place, thanks to hopeless mechanics. During the time my car was off the road I picked up a few goodies.

600x300x76 front mount.

3" metal cat from group buy.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y295/Xsjdao/IMGP0386.jpg

Titan Cam gears from another group buy.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y295/Xsjdao/IMGP0395.jpg

Finally got my car back some time in September, they didn't do thing how I had asked and for a few months this is what she looked like. As you can see the genius mechanics made the intake pipe foul on the strut tower...
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y295/Xsjdao/IMGP0452.jpg

Got some new seat covers made up, thanks Wolfie for setting up the group buy and Max for taking 4 months to make a gear and handbrake cover... These are my sexy front seats waiting to be put in.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y295/Xsjdao/IMGP0494.jpg

For a few months nothing else really happened, just enjoyed driving the car, after the new year I decided to start spending more money on it and bling up the engine bay a little bit.

[xsjado]

Stage one of bling:D, red radiator hoses, strut and some new silicone couplers.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y295/Xsjdao/IMGP0576resized.jpg

Then I made quite possibly the stupidest mistake ever, took my car back to the same mechanic because my friend assured me that my car would get looked after there... Plan was to get new dumps fitted and get the SAFC-II tuned. HAH! good one. Got a phone call from them the night I was supposed to pick up the car, "Umm your bottom end just gave way". Long story short, it wasn't a bottom end, more like a blown turbo.

New dumps waiting to go on.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y295/Xsjdao/Newy-pipeanddump.jpg

As you can see, they needed replacing.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y295/Xsjdao/IMGP0655resized.jpg

Notice something missing?
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y295/Xsjdao/IMGP0656resized.jpg

Just incase you missed it :)
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y295/Xsjdao/IMGP0657resizedlol.jpg

Made 218rwkw on fubar turbos!
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y295/Xsjdao/deathrunpower.jpg

Finally picked up my car last Thursday, took them 6 days to change over a set of turbos... Replaced them with CT12A's from an engine with ~90000k's on it. The car is so much more responsive now! Feels a lot better to drive, although I have noticed a slight engine rattle... only heard it a few times now but it is enough to have my cry like a baby when I hear it...

Some overnight parts from Japan...

Bomex sides, rears and turbo a duct from Shine Auto. Amazing quilty, buy there stuff now!
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y295/Xsjdao/IMGP0542.jpg

And this is how my car looks today, exterior looks the same... Stage two of bling :).

Thats just about it, sorry for all the pictures :).

[speed]

Don't be sorry! Car looks good :)

I like the "insert wheel here"! haha

[Mr.PFloyd]

sick car!

[ERA]

Sweet seats :D

[jdmk3_87t]

omg...you australian guys are just amazing! hks_trd, hybrid and you are pretty much ballin' with these rare jz supras...keeep up the goood work...this is by far the 3rd owner from australia that i've seen on this forum with another rare supra!

[xsjado]

Thanks for the comments guys, I wish it was a genuine JZA70, but I'll settle for a GA70 with conversion, there quite common here :D.

[IJ.]

That is the one I saw in Dandenong ;)

[xsjado]

That is the one I saw in Dandenong ;)

Lol it's white and stock bodied, must have been me! :D

[IJ.]

I remember the wheels and door stickers ;)
(has it been lowered since that pic?)

[SupraOfDoom]

I'm in love with your seats.... and thats the same color combo I wanted go ( Black and Red ). I was going to do it down to the detail, Black rims, red lip, Sony Xplodes ( Black and Red ), black and red engine bay...

[xsjado]

Yeah has king springs now, I want to lower it a little bit more, but with the new front lip it will be about 5mm above legal limit. Although with my current exhaust I doubt that it really matters :).

Can't get enough of the Black and Red, just need to do the rest of the interior because it is all Maroon. I'd would like to go some Black wheels with polished lip, but I will probably end up with Work Equips :D.

[OneJoeZee]

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y295/Xsjdao/IMGP0656resized.jpg

I think your turbos are broken.

[xsjado]

Just a little bit...

[RazoE]

noticed it's a narrow body...

going to get a widebody kit afterward, or content with the current body?

[Hybrid]

haha welcome aboard Xsjado, glad you made the move to a decent forum :).

You have the Tanabe strut brace I see!, I was eyeing one of them off on Yahoo! Japan, but not sure if they come in blue?

[xsjado]

haha welcom aboard Xsjado, glad you made the move to a decent forum :).

Haven't seen them in Blue yet, got mine off Yahoo! Japan too, cheap and the best strut brace I have ever seen.


noticed it's a narrow body...

going to get a widebody kit afterward, or content with the current body?

Good spotting on the Narrow body :), I'll probably buy some Widebody front quarters and pump out the rears, I just want to see how it looks first when I get the skirts and pods mocked up.

[Hybrid]

haha cool

Yeah go wide body, you know you want to :)

[SupraOfDoom]

How much did the seats set you back?

[xsjado]

Oh believe me I do... My wallet doesn't though. But engine comes first, once I get everything running and cleaned up, on to body work :D.


How much did the seats set you back?

I got the Seats+Gear and Handbrake boot plus 3sqm extra material for $490 AUD. That included installation :D.

[SupraOfDoom]

Ahh thats a good deal. $448 US dollars. Now go find a shadow grey parts car :).

[prism1]

seats look amazing man nice car :icon_bigg

[xsjado]

Already got one :), just too lazy to make it all black hehe.

[xsjado]

Some more ricey goodness just arrived from Japan :D.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y295/Xsjdao/IMGP0660resized.jpg
They sent me the wrong type of oil cap though... No oil cap bling for a while now...

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y295/Xsjdao/IMGP0661resized.jpg
JZA70 steering wheel with new TRD horn button, pointless because my horn doesnt even work, but it looks good! And a picture of the dash for all you Digi dash lovers :biglaugh:.

[Hybrid]

Already got one :), just too lazy to make it all black hehe.

You have a shadow grey interior spare?

Swap you for my grey interior trims :P

[xsjado]

How about I swap you my Maroon for your Grey interior :D. The spare interior will eventually get redone and swapped in. Anyone wanna buy a twist type TRD oil cap? Hopefully they will exchange it for the spring type or whatever it is...

haha no thanks, already experienced the maroon interior in my old GA70 :P

[xsjado]

It's a horrible experience isn't it? I have nightmares about it every night...

[Hybrid]

It's a horrible experience isn't it? I have nightmares about it every night...

I cringe at the thought of replacing every single piece of my grey interior with shadow..... the cost would be hidious :(

[DeSloth]

'ello.

We're taking over the place - slowly :)

Love your car, especially the seats and the wheels.

Not a maroon fan though, sorry.

Have you seen the widebody front quaters for sale on sf.com.au?

[HKS_TRD]

Just a little bit...

More pictures of seats:D

Those seats look sweet. I am not up on the group buy, were they leather or something else? Also is the extre material enough to cover the door cards and the rear cards and sections next to the back seat?

I like what you've done with the car, I recognise it from another forum, but not sure which one. I'm not the most prolific net surfer :biglaugh:

[RazoE]

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y295/Xsjdao/IMGP0660resized.jpg

oil fillar FTW..!!


I noticed my mom's 2JZ had a spring-type oil cap, what's the point of that..?

[suprastanger507mgte]

Very kool looking car. and those seats are dam sexy!

[Loki]

Very nice looking car, I really like the seats.

Maroon is getting the boot as soon as I get the motivation to make my spare interior into a black interior, do some more of your amazing work to motivate me :D.

Seats are made out of some leatherette stuff, seems to be good quality, is a little bit softer then real leather and looks just as good. The extra material should be enough to do all of the door cards and anything else that needs retrimming, and if I feel like it, my spare dash which has a massive crack in it.

[xsjado]

MORE AWESOME NEWS!

Well not really, today my 1JZ went bang, not 100% sure what the cause was, was having the car tuned, started the run and about 1 second later there was a loud vacuum sounding noise followed buy a nice knocking sound, we couldn't find any hoses or piping that had blown off... Spare 1JZ will be getting dropped in, but I don't exactly want to put the ct12a's back on...

I can either have the turbos hi flowed and rebuilt with steel wheels($$ and small gains) or I can go single while the other engine is getting dropped in($$$ and big gains). I'm checking out a few different kits that I can go with, first one which I like is the MTR PT61 turbo kit found Here (http://www.manictechracing.com/pt1jtukitbym.html), or something along the lines of a GT30 or 35R.

Just wanting to hear from people using the PT61, I'll be aiming for 400+rwhp and response if possible, I know of a few people running GT30's, just want to get some figures from people running the PT61's.

[noah89t]

i don't know if you have read enough about your great looking seats yet, but i also think they are beautiful.

[annoyingrob]

Don't put the stock twins back on. Now's your chance!

[xsjado]

Pretty much decided that I want the PT61 kit from MTR, tempted to go the GT40 but it's just way too big for what I need (for now :D). Just needing a little bit more info on how these go on a 1JZ, but I know I will be going single because I will save quite a lot in labor costs. Hopefully have some updates and more pictures soon.

[xsjado]

Time for a little update :).

Not much has happened lately, big end bearing went 1 week after I got my car back from dodgy mechanic, so my plans have changed for the car now. Car is off as we speak getting the engine bay resprayed in Black Ruby Pearl (206)! Thought I should get it out of the way now while the engine is out, also thought I'd get two birds with one stone and go single. Yay for more pictures!

WTF happened?! Someone stole my engine :( This is the point where I got lazy and let the panel shop strip everything else.

Drewgo manifold.
http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z191/drewgoperformance/DSCI0080.jpg

Plans for the turbo swap are:
Turbonetics GT-K 550 (T4, 3" vband, .81 A/R, ball bearing and water cooled:))
Turbonetics Raptor BOV
TiAL 44mm vband Wastegate
Drewgo Manifold
440cc injectors(for now)
Aeromotive AFPR kit
AEM UEGO
I'm sure there are a lot more things that I have forgotten, and I'm too lazy to figure them out.

Mum thought I might need launch control with the new setup, so this is my birthday present from Mum :D.

Just went it to check progress on my car today, all done! :D
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y295/Xsjdao/DSC00022.jpg
Sorry for the camera phone pic, will have good ones on Monday :).

Stay tuned, things should be getting very interesting :).

[OneJArpus]

holy hell, nice car man!

[foreverpsycotic]

Keep the narrow body, the wide body isn't all its cracked up to be, at least I would rather have a narrow body.

[xsjado]

Got my car back, gave it a quick wash. It's a shame the sun wasn't out when I got it back though, either way here are my bad pictures. I couldn't hold the camera still because I was that happy :D.

[suprastanger507mgte]

why did you paint the engine bay black instead of white? Or is that the first step to a color change. Black Ruby pearl is a nice color.

[xsjado]

Correct, even if I was keeping it white though, the engine bay would have ended up black just because I hate white engine bays.

[prism1]

That black ruby looks so sexy!

Dustin

[HKS_TRD]

Hot damn, that engine bay looks sweet! So, when is the rest of the car going to be that same color?

Keep up the good work

[xsjado]

Hot damn, that engine bay looks sweet! So, when is the rest of the car going to be that same color?

Keep up the good work

When I have the money :). Looks like I over budgeted the conversion by quite a bit, so its either new clutch or new paint. Clutch seems more tempting though.

[charlesshen]

i just now noticed for the first time you right hand drive

[pbasil1]

God your car is damn sexy! I am super jealous!!!

[xsjado]

Update time!

After 2 months of waiting and $350 in fees later I finally got my Turbo, Wastegate and BOV today. Turbo's exhaust housing wasn't ceramic coated like it was supposed too and they sent me a silver wastegate instead of red. I assume I can buy a new housing in red for the wastegate, anyone want to trade or point me in the direction of a new one? I will be making the company that fucked up pay for it .

Enough ranting, here are some pics I took.

My AEM Uego was sent to Canada for some unknown reason too... One day things will work out I'm sure, just not when my car is involved... Expect lots more pictures of the turbo over the next few days .

[ViR2]

nice setup mate ;) though I dont really get the difference between narrow body and normal body supras, I just don't see which is narrower :D Are only the fenders different or the whole body?

Nice work Glen. If you're interested my clutch is coming out in a few months when i pull the motor and put the twin plate in. It's not brand new but it was holding up ok with the ~250rwkW i was making...

Wouldn't want much for it, but its a hell of a job if it doesn't last long :(

[makaveli913]

NICE 1jz its awesome

Sorry just saw this now, what clutch do you have at the moment? I'm also looking for a twin plate or something to hold around 350rwkw or more with a potential super secret upgrade on its way :).


NICE 1jz its awesome

Thanks :).

In more news I have run into another week of delays with chroming. Hopefully work can start late this week. In the past few weeks this is all I have gotten done :p.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y295/Xsjdao/IMGP0813resized.jpg

[big JON]

i dont know whats in there dude, but chances are it wouldnt be strong enough for a bulk load of power. It came in the car from Japan so i dont even know how old it would be

[Zerocool]

Very nice :) black ruby FTMFW! Welcome to the black Ruby club ;)

[xsjado]

Quite some time since my last update and nothing new to really report... I bit the bullet and decided to pick up a standalone a few weeks back. Also picked up a TTC fuel rail and 680cc injectors to replace the 2jz 440's as I don't think they will be up to the task.

EMS Stinger+ DM PnP harness :D
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y295/Xsjdao/IMGP0859resized.jpg

This weekend I finished my frankencluster too, well kind off. I still need to find some gauges that will look nice and have a green backlight to go with the speedo and tacho. The tacho is from an early model GA70, I didn't like it at first but it has grown on me, I guess having those extra lines might come in handy...

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y295/Xsjdao/IMGP0854resized.jpg

Just wondering if anyone knows where I could order a new clear cover for the cluster, MUST be RHD :). I'm too lazy to look right now, if someone wants to tell me that would be great.

I got the first half of my chromed parts, after getting screwed around for close to two months and been told last week everything was finished...

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y295/Xsjdao/IMGP0855resized-1.jpg

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y295/Xsjdao/IMGP0861resized.jpg

[IJ.]

Not sure how many they made but Toyota special ordered a new batch for me last year on the Clear cluster cover.

[xsjado]

Awesome, don't spose you have a part number and price do you? I'll have to give Toyota a call today.

[IJ.]

Sorry didn't really pay attention at the time.

Don't let them pull the NLA (no longer available) shit ;)

Most parts are it's just they don't show in Australia.

[thebadz32]

those seats are sick

[xsjado]

Everyone loves the seats, I think whats happening in the engine bay is much more awesome :p. Thanks though. I'm tempted to ditch them for some Recaros or something else along those lines.

[Supraholics]

Very nice so far! Glad to see that you painted the engine bay. I was going to post that you should wash it up, and as I kept reading along the pics came...Very nice!!!

[xsjado]

Decided I would copy and paste this from the Aus section because I'm too lazy to type it out again.

Well I got almost all of my stuff back from chrome now... Not very happy with the outcome. Starting with the plenum because it can look decent from a distance...

Still missing my ABS mounting bracket and clutch master heat shield... Think I might just cut my losses because it is too much effort following up with the tard who was given the job.

[xsjado]

Time for a little bit of good news! Everything was dropped off on Friday and work started ahead of schedule on Monday :). Going in this weekend to snap up some pics of progress. Doing some shopping on Yahoo Jp lately and will have 2 new additions to my collection of parts soon :p.

HKS Hyper-D's, they seem to be ok and cost jack all so I can't complain. Should arrive in 7-10 weeks time (yes I'm cheap and don't wanna pay for air freight)

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y295/Xsjdao/qxjxm241-img600x450-12202653264b8nt.jpg

Genuine Abflug front lip, should land in about a months time.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y295/Xsjdao/abflugfrontbumper6.jpg
Like this, minus the ricey orange splitter thingy. I guess my car will look similar to this one in the end, but with the Bomex rears and Turbo A duct, minus the whale tail :).

[martin p]

looking very nice! who do you use on yahoo japan?? I use Rinkya, is there anyone better? just hate the charges and high shipping! LOL

[xsjado]

I have a few people that I go through, one called importmonster.com which charges high commissions on things and the others are just a private importers :).

[OneJZsidzilla]

damn dude, nice ride. When it's necessary, you should get one of those HKS Kevlar timing belts. With the clear cover it'd be sick

[xsjado]

That's the plan, I might pick one up soon. Only problem is that the timing cover fouls on the Titan cam gears :(.

[slowmedown]

damn 4.56 LSD!

Every other aussie seems to be doing an update so I might do one too. Not much has happened though :(. Having clearance issued with the Drewgo manifold, was told it would fit on a RHD car which is not true, fouls on the brake booster big time! Also got my Abflug lip which came in the mail with a nice crack through the front of it...

Engine sat like this for over a month!

Finally dropped in last week(thanks Aj for the pics). I know it's a bit messy, will look much better with the rest of the goodies in there and a bit of a clean!

lookin good, hurry up damn it!

[FLMK3SUPRA]

Looking good Nice work. Keep posting pics.

Thought it was time for a bit of an update. After a few issues here and there things are finally in the final stages. Once the car is started the ECU will be sent off to get updated to the newest software since it is a waste of time tuning with the older version software. Sorry for the pics the engine needs a bit of a clean :p.

That looks awesome xsjado!!!

[modmonster2008]

[Xistant]

haha i love that avatar of yours modmonster! :P


glen about time its getting there Sloooowly you poor bugga


maybe i should update my build thread too lol

[HKS_TRD]

Love it. Good things are always worth the wait.

[xsjado]

Well it's all over now, got my car back last night! Made 327rwhp on a basic tune @ 15psi. Will be taking it back in 2 weeks to get the final tune and shoot for 400+. What can I say, after driving a Corolla for around 7 months and nothing before that it pulls like a freight train. Due to the design of the manifold the boost creeps up to 15psi, which it see's at around 4200rpm, hopefully less once they mess around with things a little bit more. Picture time, still isn't finished. Need to have my coil pack cover re done and polish up the intake pipe, which I started to do then got lazy.

Looks awesome dude, congrats on getting it going again

Love all the chrome bling and that strut brace is sweet.

You've probably been driving it non stop since you got it back no doubt!

[xsjado]

Yeah it all looks nice but there is a long way to go. So many things that need to be replaced, cleaned up or removed. Really need to do the water lines and drain line with braided though... It just doesn't look as good as everything else at the moment. Just need money and someone in the states willing to take a big order from Jegs :p.

[xsjado]

Got some more pics today and had them touched up. Thanks Aj.

:biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh:

Glad to hear that!

[DBN]

i feel you on the corolla thing man... theyre fun little things but almost anything feels like it has unlimited power when you drive one for so long lol. right now mines is a daily driver until i get the new clutch in the supra and some bushings for the steering. dont like to turn the wheel 20 degrees and go straight:nono:

[Racer-X]

Man, this is such a great build! I love it!

By the way, are all JZA70 narrox bodies in AU? Do you also have the TwTurbo wide body version over there?

[xsjado]

Majority of the A70's here are wide body. I was one of the unlucky few who didn't do their research and ended up with a narrow body GA70.

Just a quick update, car made 366rwhp/632rwtq@15psi untuned at a dyno day last weekend.

Where did you get that billet coil plug cover... Ive been looking for one for a while.. I saw one on ebay once but that was it... Also im lovin that pink strut bar:love:..

[NokaoiMK3]

Yeah i wouldn't be to happy with the results of that chroming either... the TB part looks like they just sanded and poslished it but i don't see any chrome..

[arizzle]

looking good man keep it up! needs more pics :)

[LilMissMkIII]

Love how the bonnet slowly closes on the power run!!!!!!!!!!

(Mine does the same, so I use a piece off a Kelvinator fridge to wedge it up!)

Oh, and:

Nice to see you inching towards your power goal, it seems a few people are aiming for 300rwkw these days

Sounds awesome on the dyno, very very angry

Got the billet coil pack cover off some guy locally, but I think you can get them through TTC. That strut bar isn't pink! Its red damnit :p.

Yeah 300 seems like a nice number, but I know I will be wanting more and more. Would love to get some cams and meth injection next :p.


Glen: Obscure the plates if you can ;)
That's the only shame about the video...

[IJ.]

I'd actually take that vid off youtube till you can edit the plate out.
(green P)

[xsjado]

Might be a good idea, never considered that... Time for more editing I guess :p.

[IJ.]

Just keep it in mind "You're being watched" ;)

Once targeted you'll last about hmmm 10 minutes into a cruise.. :(
(esp on that side of town)

[xsjado]

Ok the video should be back up soon, damn popo...

[IJ.]

Yep it sucks and is why I rarely attend cruises or meets :(
