Perfect Cars to Fit 1JZ

[NA_Lover]

Haha..
So recently I've been addicted to top speed thanks to a good dose of Wangan Midnight and fellow ZTH members.
For the longest time.. I've had a rollercoaster love relationship with the 1JZ.

So what car you think would be best to fit 1JZ?

Personally.. I love this model:

If you want cheaper solution, Toyota LX80 aka Airport Taxi. You can get it around RM8K-13K depend on condition. Sometimes cheaper.
If you want nicer Chassis Jzx90 which come with 1Jz or else if you don't mind you can use Cefiro A31.

best car for 1JZ is altezza-IS200,rs200 auto or manual both apply.Dont need massive chassis work and can get JPJ approval!
Other reasons: window with frames(cuts out the wind-noise)
4door-your normal average family sedan-wife,girlfriends,mothers and mother-in-law approved?
Solid chassis-stronger than original jzx90/jzx100.
Good handling.

altezza transplant number 8 with 1 JZ in progress.

Haha.. I just love the muscle car look of the 77' Cressida.
If put 1JZ inside should be damn power.

But I won't mind a big block fully blown V8 anytime!

 

[1JZtezza]

you will need massive undercarriage work to handle the power..older cars are probably leaf springs and axle job.To be able to tweak the suspension like camber and toe for the rear; you will need to change the whole rear assembly and therefore can not get jpj approval.

 

[renxun]

get the approval 1st b4 doing the rear assembly.for a 1.8old toyota to 2.5 is not permitted actually. but did an appeal with the reason no other roadworthy engine suitable for the transplant. car and engine too old. unable to source for replacement

1JZ? ermm... 1st need to fit RWD car...
I saw in youtube... got people fit it in AE86 too...

beside also saw people put it in BMW 520i or even on old Jaguar too...

 

[NA_Lover]

Yea bro scomatic. My mechanic also tranplant a lot of 1J and 2J into bimmers..

Proves how awesome the engines really are.

[1JZtezza]

according to wikipedia- its a EXSIOR(assembled in Philippines)-is that right?It is one of the rare toyota corona FR models after 1988.Looks like the FF Carina or JZX100 chaser.Dunno about itsdimensions.Does it have a live axle??

 

[netmatrix]

Looks like a Soarer. Rather than a Corona. Is there a picx of the rear?

 

[NA_Lover]

I've changed the colour to bluish pearlescent shade

I'll try to take a pic of the rear during lunch.. but a bit ugly now la..
