 1JZ-GTE into a MX-73 Cressida

Hello there,
I noticed a few people here have put a 1JZ-GTE into their Cressida's.
Well my sisters MX-73 Cressida containing a 5M-GE died and there was only one solution a 1JZ-GTE!
We purchased a JZX-90 Chaser 1/2 cut and have stripped her down and tranferred the contents over.
I have done heaps of work the engine, gearbox, GTR intercooler, etc have all been mounted leaving a few small things to go.
I was wondering what people did with the dash? The orig Cressida dash has a cable to show speed etc while the new gearbox does not have a location for this and operates off an electronic signal. We can put the one in from the 1/2 cut but this is not a neat fit. Any ideas?
Any idea's?
I have purchased some R-32 4 Potters to put on as well. Has anyone put larger roters on their MX-73? If so i was wondering what model/brand etc you used. The R-32 calipers line up with the bolt holes but does not line up with the rotors. I am taking it to a brake place soon to take a look.
I do not think she knows what she is in for as she thought the standard 5M-GE was fast!
Cheers,
MX73-1JZ

Shouldn't be too hard - the main problem will be finding an off the shelf rotor to suit. I suggest you get some Vernier calipers and start measuring.
You'll need the diameter of the rotor (measure from the centre of the hub spindle to the outer edge of the pads in your R32 calipers and double), radial depth of your pads, and the total height of your required rotor (measure from the top of your MX73 rotor hat to the pad surface of the inboard pad).
Then you have the joy of cross referencing against the DBA database http://www.dba.com.au/catalogue/DBA%20Catalogue.ht m. It is possible to get undrilled blanks from DBA so don't worry too much about the number of stud holes. The radial depth of the disc isn't given on their catalogue, but once you have compiled a short list of suitable rotors give them a call - they have been very helpful to me in the past.

I'm in the process of putting bigger rotors on my mx73. Just keep the back standard though. ALso for a quick , easy LSD mod, put an MA61 Supra LSD in it... bolts straight in the mx73.

Thanks for your help everyone.
I may be a little confused here.
MX - 73 has a cable dash.
JZX - 90 ( donor ) has everything electronic and there is nowhere to plug up the cable from the dash to.
Sideshow, you are saying that there is an electronic output from the cable dash but what about the input?
I have nowhere to feed the signal into the MX-73 dash that i know of. Is there an electronic input for this?
If not we will put JZX-90 dash in this wont look as neat and will require more wiring.
Cheers,
MX73-1JZ

Why don't u just hook your speedo cable up to your gearbox... just like it was... thats what we did with mine. Unscrewed the speedsensor from memory and it plugs in there. I'm not totally sure what that did but because there is 2 speed sensors it is all good.
Correct me if i'm wrong.. but anyhow.. all we did was plug it in like before.

Thanks for your help again,
When we did the conversion we had the gearbox and engine placed in the car.
I can not find anywhere on the gearbox to place the cable so my guess it is all electronic from the gearbox. There may be somewhere to place it. I do not know the model of the gearbox but it was out of a JZX-90 Chaser. ( auto Gearbox )
We can put the dash from the chaser in there but it is going to look tacky.
Cheers,
MX73-1JZ
