BlackSupra Forums Junkie Registered: August 2002	Re: MA61 about to go under the Knife Tue, 06 July 2004 09:51 ahh i love these threads.....where to start. first off, suspension, did you change the bushes as well? lowering the car an inch will roughen the ride, yeah and monroe GT shocks are not cool. Ive got Tokico HP's from the states, they are awesome, but stiff! The KYB's are more floaty in my opinion....but thats scary with a few hundred HP 2JZGTE MA61 *cough* norbie *cough*. You will want the thing to handle, invest in stiff shocks. Did you replace the ball joints? $$ wise....... YOUR DREAMING I did a 2JZGE conversion for $4500, with almost no labour costs, no intercooler and plumbing and a smaller exhaust. Plus, i seriously doubt you are going to find a cheap VVTI 1JZ, esp in WA! Budget $7K if your doing it yourself, or ask JAG7799 how much his 1jz cost him fitted by a mechanic!!! Your mate with the $800 1JZ, to control the VVTI he will need a motec or some such description ECU so budget in +$2K for an ecu! * The bodykit is Erebuni. * Get your radiator cleaned (or tripple cored if going 1jz). * Buy a new auto off here for SFA. * Bonneville Automotive ph (02) 9546 7077 Have engine mounts on a jig for $250, makes it a bolt in affair. * Good luck finding a front sump and be prepared to pay a premium for one if its on another engine! * Heres how it went for me: http://www.norbie.net/ifli4u/project2j.html P.S where did you get the strut braces from!!!!!!!
