im not stupid, Im a technician for Nissan, so I ruled out the obvious (waterpump, belt, ect...). I took the thermostat out and it is seized. it has less then 500 miles on it, but it has been sitiing for over 2 years without being run. Ordered a new one today! Not easy to get the thermostat...

hey guys, got my 1jz in my datsun 260z running and it starts to over heat when it idles for a while. I found out that coolent is not flowing through the radiator when I look through the top of the radiator. The upper rad hose is hot and the lower is cool. Seems the thermostat is not opening. I...

Were the cams shimmed properly when installed, cause the valves might not be closing all the way on the compression stroke. Also it is always a must to degree the cams with adjustable gears when using different cams especially with 272's-

so you guys think that just running the catch can without a vacuum source will be okay? Anyone running it like that?

Hey guys, I have my 1jz in my 74' datsun 260z that is just about done. The only issue is that their is no room to run an intake on this car and I basically have the filter mounted on the turbo. My question is that I won't have an intake tube with a fitting to suck out the crank case vapors to...

thanks guys, I am hoping for a touch over 500whp in the future, but I am probably going to run it on the street at about 400-450whp. Yes, they are stock aluminum drums in the rear. I am running Toyota 4 runner 4 piston front calipers which is plenty for my setup in a 2300lb car. Never would have...

when I first put in my 440's, I was able to run them with no AFC corrections on my low throttle just fine, but when I went WOT then it went down to the sub 10's AFR and ran super pig rich.

thanks guys. Not too much longer and I will for sure post up some videos. I do miss my MK3 1jz supra though:cry:

a couple more pics

Almost ready for the road guys. Suspension is finally done, Infinity Q45 lsd, custom control arms, ground control coilovers, new wheels, full poly bushings, new bearings/ balljoints, toyota 4 runner brakes, and CV axel conversion with mosier axels. Fuel setup is done too with a bosch 044 pump...

that doesn't make much sense. The whole reason of adjustable cam gears is so that you can degree your aftermarket cams, or adjust your cams so that the valves are opening and closing at the most efficient time. Why would you go to stock gears with aftermarket cams when you cams come with a cam...

I love my Zeitronix wideband, as the software is easy to use and It also has a digital map sensor, digital egt, and is full datalogging compatable. Very nice for the price!!

yah, I agree, buying a tuned ECU when you don't know the car it came out of, or the exact specs for sure is a gamble. It is probably setup for bigger injectors or something, so you should try to get your money back.

1j'z don't use lifters, they use a bucket over the valve spring and shims to adjust the clearence. Check the shim clearence on your cams if the noise sounds like its right under the valve cover.

those look more like the stock 1jz injectors. My 440s that I had a while ago were a greyish/purple and had no yellow on them.
