    92 JDM JZA70 targa top HX35 flared New Zealand

    Thank you, i can't take all the credit for my vision, like many others, i was influenced by garagefujimoto's original build that has been made redundent. There are rumors he has started a new build. After i came across it on MotorMavens i was inspired to do something similar. I still need to...

    Setback on intake manifold number 2. i could have cried. went to put the "1jz" manifold on the car the engine in the can and it was too big for the engine bay. Maybe it was designed for a soarer but it wasnt good news. I have been waiting for about 7 months for the manifold to be cut down so i...

    In late 2013 i moved back to my home town and got closer to the supra again and had alot more time with her, so after my big let down with my manifolds not fitting, i went on a bit of a spending spree and thought i should beef up fueling system and bought a new intake manifold, 100MM throttle...

    Bringing the build up to august 2013, i decided i had waited long enough for the wheels to be lying around "taunting' me, i needed tyres. As 315/30/18s were my minimum legal option for certification in New Zealand for my 18x12s, i started calling around for the specific tire size with the best...

    With the head off the 1jz, i talked to my Engine builder friend Damian, and had discussions about what parts i need to get so he could do the HG. We decided it was a good idea to do the cambelt, tentioners and water pump and that was the plan until all of a sudden i was moving to another town to...
