Looks like something Al has built!

Yep, Al from AMauto.

Used to have a Twin turbo 1GZFE in it.

Not the same car is it??

Why would you do all that work with the V12 only to put a 2J in it?

Because 2j's make stupid amounts of power easy

Yeah same.

Probs chasing stupid power. The 2JZ is capable of 1200HP at least. Not sure what the 1GZFE is capable of, but probably not as good.

Cool!

[nickknack]

He sold the lib without a motor to another guy who got Al to stick the 2J in there. It's explained on the last page of that club.lib thread

Spot on.

I sold the car with the 9" IRS rear/subframe, interior, good body etc. No box or engine or loom. (but with a rare as BE 300kmh STI speedo :angry2: ) to one of Al (JZK25, co-owner of AM Auto in Sunshine coast, responsible for the project and hundreds of other awesome conversions and subaru mild to wild).

Engine, loom and bolt on's sold to a a bloke for his project landcruiser stupidity. He has the manifolds, unsure if he'll turbo it or not.

Turbos sold to another bloke for his 1uz project. Does epic skids.

I walked away with the vipec itself and a fair few random parts I've hoarded. Next week I'm hopefully picking up a mint HQ Kingswood styleside ute with a 1UZ, twin plate, supra 5 sp, ford disk brake 9", some unknown computer, and restored interior/exterior (6rs ago) cheap. Plan is to add GT3071's, A340 Auto, Vipec V88 and ethanol sensor, fancy looking intake manifold. Convo pro's and give the thing a moderate workover (fuel, brake lines, suspension, bushes, trim, seals etc) to make it a nice cruiser weekend car. Whole point is to replace this V12 I figure as I'm a muppet for cracking the shits and selling shit.

Unknown what I want as a daily now. RS lib, Gen 4 3.0 wagon again, C class merc with a 2J a mate has, keep the SWB GQ patrol, who knows. Something will pop up when I least expect it, but for now I'm happily looking forward to ute being rust free and starting a love affair with dinky old holden.










And growing a mullet.
