Phase 1: I found a pearl white X8 w/ grey interior on craigslist in bum fuck nowhere Washington. The guy bought it from an old man who drove it and then upgraded and bought a Lexus and then passed it down to his son. After about 1.5 years it blew the head gasket @ 230k and he sold it to this guy in Washington and he replaced the HG and had to sell it due to him moving to Florida. It was immaculate and bone stock. Picked it up for $1500. I drove it for a few weeks and then its passenger brake line blew up and i had to replace the front brake lines and while i was there painted the calipers off the shelf chevy muscle car orange/red for extra cool points. and for some reason i thought it was a good idea to use anti seize on the lug studs. My first time ever working on a car and i was clueless. My first goal was to 5 speed swap it. After a couple hours of research i figured out that everyone's w58's were shit and found a mk3 R154 on a Facebook drift page for $550 at a local shop with a 30 day warranty. After a couple more hours i figured out everything i needed to make the swap happen (shout out to driftmotion and Xcessive): I then found a d-max vented hood in Newberg, Or for $100 and riveted it on for extra jdm fucc boi points. Found some $30 S14 springs for some poor boy low. At this point i had the 5 speed swap done and was waiting for a driveline and i picked up some mk3 supra wheels for $50. I did a couple celebratory burnouts/donuts and realized that open diffs suck and i had a lot of play in the rear end. found a 3.93 MK3 diff in the middle of nowhere Oregon and picked it up. Painted it race car red and me and my friend Jeff McCall installed the Xcessive poly subframe bushings and poly diff bushings, MK3 diff adapter and sub frame re-enforcement plate. Got all the parts installed and got an alignment. I thought i was the coolest dude on the block. Then after about 2 months of daily driving I acquired a rod knock after doing a donut showing off for friends. And that was pretty much my first 1 year of Cressida ownership. I spent the rest my year not doing shit tryna save up and buy a house and i eventually bought a house in Vancouver, WA. That's when phase two happened. I'll post it later if i have time.

Hey guys, I've been through 3 proof-of-concept variants of my coil bracket and have finally honed in the design enough to list them for sale. The What The coil bracket mounts to the valve cover via the 6x m6 holes for the stock coil cover and holds 6 IGN1A smart coils. Included is the CNC bracket itself, the fasteners required to mount the bracket to the valve cover and the coils to the bracket. The bracket is a brushed aluminum finish and the fasteners are m6 stainless buttonhead. The bracket is designed to fit with the OEM timing cover but requires modifications to the OEM cover to fit. The coils and plug wires are not included. The Why These coils are extremely powerful and have internal ignitors which allow for large plug gaps at high cylinder pressures without spark blowout. Price for the bracket and hardware is $125 plus actual shipping. DM or email hellafabrication@gmail.com These are in stock and ready to ship. 1jz VVTi IGN1A Coil Bracket Kit by HellaFab Fabrication, on Flickr 1jz VVTi IGN1A Coil Bracket Kit by HellaFab Fabrication, on Flickr 1jz VVTi IGN1A Coil Bracket Kit by HellaFab Fabrication, on Flickr

I am hoping that I can sell my wheels and turbo kit, and can keep the Cressida. For now, this is up for sale. I'd like to sell my Cressida. I've worked through this car extensively to make it a functioning, reliable drift car. It's got a full interior, and rides very comfortably. The 1J is mostly stock, and the car is a really good time to drift. The suspension is super sorted. I will probably forget a ton of stuff on the spec sheet, but I'll speak with interested buyers about the car at length to give them details. This car has every single possible component installed to make the chassis an incredible performer. The parts alone are an absolute bargain at the price I'm asking. I'd like $13,500 for the car, complete. I'll take $12,250 for the car with no wheels (bring your own). I'll take $11,700 for the car with no seats and no wheels (bring your own).

I'm getting down to the last few steps before dropping this boat anchor in. I'm currently at the coolant port crossroads. This is my idea: I want to block off all ports other than engine inlet and outlet and a feed and return for the turbo. I know you don't have to run coolant through the turbo but if it extends its life even 1 extra event then it's worth it. It would basically look like this: I'll be running a standard radiator setup without the super cool neck mounted cap. Can anyone see a downside to running it like this or should it work fine?

I have a couple things you queers may need and I need a couple things as well, no homo. WTS: 2jzgte aristo jzs147 a/t OEM ECU no fuel cut or speed cut bullshit Denso 680cc injectors Blitz Dual SBC electronic boost controller Some ricer top fuel toyota shift knob synapse super synchronic bov 300zx brakes d2 handbrake w/ slave WTB: gx81 or jzx81 rear bumper and whatever i need to mount it to an x8, any color I want the r32 gtr front lip that fits the mkii front bumper oem jdm rain guards

I am in desperate need of a 1jz gte vvti wiring harness and ECU. I have this stuff, but it's for the fly by wire type throttle body and I can't use that in the car that it's in. Better yet, I don't want to use it. I'm located in Tampa, FL. Let me know what you have please! I need this car on the road.

I thought id share this with you guys! Be sure to subscribe to my youtube channel if you want to see more videos.

I may have tossed mine in the trash a long time ago, but some recent digging (I know it was done on 3si circa 2005) got me to look-up cheap EBC. While I was looking over some 1JZ vvti pictures and noticed that there is some type of control valve right above the 'expansion chamber' (blue plug) It does seem to fit the 3 nipple boost solenoid feature, with a 2-wire type switch. For those that still have it, what does it actually do in OEM/factory setup? Is this to 'bleed-off' excessive boost and bypass the DV? The idea is to hook it up as a proper boost solenoid: And use the EMU to control the duty-cycle and get full wastegate (0%) or full boost (100% bleed) on it. Thoughts?

Alright so I have a jzx100 1jz + auto trans, and I got a solstice trans (aisin version of an R15x) for cheap. While brainstorming I came up with this. -Stock auto JZ bell, adapter plate similar to the 1uz/r154 adapter, solstice trans. -Stock auto flywheel and starter, order a button flywheel for a 7.25" triple plate clutch from quartermaster. Get a used nascar 7.25 26-spline triple plate from ebay. -Quartermaster concentric hyd. throwout bearing, machine front of adapter plate to fit. Anyone interested in something like this? I can bring a JZ auto bell and a GM bell into work and measure them in the CMM machine to get the difficult parts measured, and then it's just figuring out thicknesses and getting prints from quartermaster for their hydro bearing. I figure if I'm going through the engineering to make one adapter, I might as well make a few.

Looking for 1jz vvti to throw in my 02' IS300. Jzs171, jzx110, or jzx100. I'm attempting to run stock is300 harness and ecu with greddy EMU. I'm selling all of my 2jzgte and 2jzge vvti NA-T stuff as well, I'll make a detailed post soon. Thanks fellas!

Started tearing into this death trap this week. I have seen some half ass shit before but this by far takes the cake. Im not building this thing im mostly unbuilding it with hopes of being able to put it back together less haggard as fuck. First thing was Axle. On the way back from Illinois with the car I killed an axle and tried to limp it a little closer to home with hopes of still making it to work that day and getting towed back. This thing got extra hot. WTF IS THIS SHIT? this bushing moves up and down about an inch, Its all the way tight. These bushings are fucked too. This whole front end is held on with zipties super sketchy. Probably going to use some of that small circular tubing and bend up some stuff to make proper brackets to hold the lights and shit in since its probably the most valuable thing on the car and I dont want to run it the fuck over. Axle is rubbing on subframe sometimes. Got 2 supra axles from a turbo model for $40, everything was the same besides the nut on the end of the stub. It was actually smaller.

Here's my problem. Just bought a Cressida with a blown head gasket. I found an IS300 2J but I'm not exactly sure how much work is involved with putting it in. What scared me was, I called a guy to ask him how much would it be for him to put in a 1j and he said $5500 with motor engine and labor. He was offering a bit more than just the swap but the car would have to run 9s in a 1/4 mile for me to pay him that right now. 7Ms and 1Js don't cost that much and I'm sure I could find a VVTi 2J for under $1500 so what am I missing. Now I'm sure it's not a plug and play swap but I'm just looking for a ballpark figure of how much a is/gs300 swap should cost

Alright you mother fuckers, I'm about to post like 200 pics and a short story of this entire year and what led up to my first year of Lonestar Drift FD Pro/am. Traveling from florida to Texas for each round left me and friends with hundreds of memories, tons of drifting, tons of money spent, and I ending up 5th overall for 2013. First heres my old x8 i got in 2010 or so. 1j, r154, coilovers, wheels, welded diff and that was pretty much it since i daily drove it and drifted it at local events. [/url] We broke up, I drank 40s all the time. Then I saw this shitbox that was ameen's for sale on jzxp. Austin had it in northern alabama and I wanted it mainly since it already had a Cage that was pretty legit Alabama has malt liquor in 4 packs threw the s9 kit from it on my DD cressida and cut the roof off it for some big car meet since it would be the last time I legally drove a cressida on the street since then. removed all parts from it since I knew I would need them later Scrapped it Began putting in hours on the new to me chassis by painting the entire interior one solid color ordered tons of parts which was pretty cool since i was single and living in a tiny apartment my entire paychecks would go to race car shit. (which is totally stupid and fuck you) more parts Had to remove and replace LITERALLY everything that could bolt to this chassis Entire front suspension Entire rear suspension Gas tank Under chassis fuel lines/brake lines Brake booster/ master cylinders Many days were spent under the car on the ground fixing shit Started the wiring ended up with switch panel 12 circuit racecar chassis harness 240sx 8 relay holder/ 8 relays came out alot better than I expected and all my circuits worked which were Ignition Fuel pump Headlights/Tailights Brake lights wiper Got the car together for the most part Made my own hydro ebrake dual caliper bracket that uses stock x8 calipers (this was before XM released their own) More fancy parts grabbed a P5858 and had it fully rebuilt by precision and some 550s from kyle sent to driftmotion for cleaning Wastegate dump came out pretty Went over my engine harness and fixed a few broken connectors. Beard Achilles radial sent me support program vinyl (huge nightmare later so read on) AEM came in <3 got tired of not driving so I went to a Nola Motorsports Park event in December 2012. drove some RHD s13 saw this and it began my banana boat ideas Got a SWEET 12 valve cummins truck for a score to tow my banana boat to Texas Intercooler mounts/piping exhaust Hydro setup with -4 AN brake line loaded the base map driftmotion sent with the aem and it barely ran made a simple cluster with wideband and the aem serial gauge which is amazing loaded it up and took it to TDC in mobile, alabama and had them tune it to 14psi. (maxed my factory map sensor) made 350hp/330tq on pump gas drove it to the gas station a few times Shakedown TOOK MY CAR TO SHAKEDOWN at a Nola event. car FELT GREAT Huge relief after this event since a few months ago this thing wasn't even a rolling chassis lots of tandem My genius friend made a sweet GM 3 bar map sensor in an oem jz map sensor case. painted it with rustoleum industrial building paint after i saw that genesis and saw a "how to" in hotrod magazine ROUND 1 Achilles radial didn't have any tires for the support program so i bought some atr sports (235/40/18s) from tires-easy and Loaded the car with vinyl and onto the trailer and headed for Texas Lonestar drift round 1. Took the car Back to TDC on the way to texas for retune with GM 3 bar and to 20psi. car made 410hp/400tq and felt fucking rad as shit! was suppose to stay with gibbs in houston, but after getting drunk at his place we decided to crash at a hotel. woke up the next morning to this with alot of shit missing from the truck. luckily the car was ok this was my first ever "pro/am" event and i had expected it to have a really strict tech inspection and everyone be assholes but it was the COMPLETE opposite of that. got lots of tandem practice in (too much) first time changing tires at this event and both of my electric impact batteries were dead. had to change tires with a 1/2 ratchet and i somehow managed to fuck my studs up. (ALL OF THEM) so we had to literally cross thread lug nuts on. luckily the studs were ARP haha everything at the event went great except I ran out of achilles before qualifying. LOL Borrowed some used tires from Nacho and barely squeezed into top 16. qualified like 14th or 15th so. bought some Kendas 265/35/18 from Turnbow since he broke his R154 during practice. and went into competition Round 1 was quite some time ago (march) so I barely remember exact details of the comp but there was alot of confusion at the starting line about which car led, when we could change tires, ect.. had to call 5 minutes to swap tires during top 8 since we had a few OMTs and almost got DQ'd since we were literally changing tires looking like retarded cavemen. I remember sitting in the drivers seat fully suited while my pit guys are cross threading the lug nuts on and Aaron Losey (runs all the events) is at my drivers window asking ARE YOU READY?? YOU GOTTA GET OUT THERE NOW! so i told them to drop the jack and i did a quick burnout and rushed to the start line. not knowing how many lug nuts i had on or if they were even tight. finished those runs and won the battle so i returned to my pits and my guys tell me none of the lug nuts were over 20ft lbs. got all of them torqued down to 85 ft lbs and went back out for final 4 went against Tim and that was a confusing and sketchy battle since he was handicapped with a broken r154 thrust washer. had no 1st or 3rd. I beat Tim and got pretty stoked at this point since it meant i was finishing at least 3rd place. I ended up smashing Nacho in the door pretty good out of the excitement lost the battle to move on and finished my weekend and first pro/am event strong with a 3rd place finish the drive home sucked. UPDATE Round 2: Round 2 was CRAZY. Event was held at Texas Motor Speedway on the road course. I was really stoked on this because I had heard it would be super fast and the track was really grippy! Since the car was pretty solid after round 1, all i had to do was chop the studs to normal length and get more lug nuts. also redid my alignment with +.2 camber and a little more toe in in the rear for traction during squatting. Ordered achilles radials through the support program for this event and ended up getting 8 of their 123S semi-slick in 265/35/18. They come individually wrapped which sucks to remove These things are the best tire Ive ever driven on. better than 615k, NT05, AD07, AD08, all of them! (Achilles on Left) Left saturday morning from florida and drove all day to our hotel near TMS got to the hotel and drank a few Yuenglings that we brought with us. Crashed out early and woke up to hotel breakfast and then headed to the track. TMS is HUGE and the whole facility is amazing (dont mind the vinyl, ill tell that story later) Got out onto the track for my first runs with the 123S in the rear and the car would barely spin them with 45PSI hot in them. at first i thought the car was down on power, but we bumped up the pressure to 65psi hot in all of the rear tires i had and went out for some more seat time. it helped ALOT. even at 65PSI these things had tons of grip and were blowing my mind! 65psi hot in the rear tires felt pretty sweet but during practice into the first corner I would have some understeer issues since i was still running regular ATR SPORTs up front from round 1. lowered front tire pressure to like 15psi and kept 65psi in the rears and it bandaided the understeer problems drove alot from 9am to 2pm Had our drivers meeting then went out for qualifying. I qualified 11th I think and it was pretty difficult figuring out these new tires. Went into top 16 and advanced onto top 8. there was alot of crashes and crazy stuff happening and the dude i was suppose to battle for top 8 had fucked his shit up too bad to repair for top 8 so I got a bi-run into final 4. for this battle I went against Mike with a 600hp e36. He qualified higher so he led first. is car is fast as FUCK, and pulled a decent gap on the straight away. we both linked the course and i had minor deductions for lack of proximity I guess. On my lead run he was pretty close to me and on our transition into the final sweeper i threw in tons of angle to scrub my speed to make the corner and Mike did the same except he spun behind me and I finished out the run which gave me the win against him. I was stoked again to have at least 3rd place. Tim with the SC was my next battle and he led our first run. top of 3rd into the first corner, he initiates, I initiate...hes on the proper line and I'm understeering into failure!!! On my lead run I tried to make up for it but he had no major corrections and beat me. haha Heres a video from the entire event. Shows how terrible I was driving, and how different everyone was driving. everyone was running different speeds, lines, transitioning in different areas. everything was chaos lol really sweet fly by of me at :43 [media=600x600] [/media] So I finished 3rd at round 2. and i was really stoked. was 3rd in points overall at this point which meant If i kept up this consistency for 3 more rounds I would get a pro license. Still have rounds 3-5 to add!! this year was longer than i thought! LOL
