    looks like a fun project, smart to do brakes before the mofo runs!

    what mounting kit are you going to use for the JZ?

    Open diff + single turbo JZ = exploded open diff.

    The Toyota guys will explode the open Toyota units. BMW open differentials are not nearly as strong.

    You will need a LSD to keep the rear end somewhat stable with your power level choice.

    Single t JZ makes minimal 350rwhp on low boost. Bmw open diff can explode with 200rwhp + abuse.

    Hi Beau.

    Nice conversion mate, real original! :p

    Judging by your progresses, using graphical graphs and calculated calculations, this should have been finished 40 minutes ago?

    That would leave 10 minutes to set up a camera, 10 minutes to perform a skid that goes for another 10 minutes and then 10 minutes to upload to JuTube and Bimmerforums.

    There seems to be a have been a problem in the skidvid supply chain.

    Please amend this, or I vote you be banned.

    Good day to you, sir. *tips hat, presses back button*



    P.S: I have a good contact in the USA for diff stuff, I will forward details (eventually, give me a chance!)

    I heard Atherton was purposely left out of the NBN as the politicians thought it would be best not to let them talk to teh interwebs, so as not to tarnish the reputation of Australians online, bro yeew, lol. Ahem.

    Origin tonight, good time to be a QLDer!

    P.S: 2016 mate.

    great progress.Did you already wire up the engine? I am going to attempt the same engine swap but the wiring is the only thing that i am worried about.

    I was about to say I spotted a problem with your diff... It's missing the clutch packs.

    Just put the engine from his Getz into his car... The missus won't notice a power difference in the getz and dan (and his death hands) will be stoked with the way the shitty auto is coping with the power.
    Oi and let me know if you want a diff... I can hook you up. Like seriously... It's a quaife

    Edit: Noticed it's a four door... You have been upgraded from 'stranger danger' to 'aquaintence.' There is a certificate in the mail to notify you of your achievement.

    BeauTrain what's going on mate, long time no discuss heater hoses, what's been happening?

    Please tell me you have the clutch sorted and engine sitting on the mounts? Actually, I'd half expect you to tell me it has been running for months, driven 1000s of km, run an 11 something, pulled 1/2 dozen Atherton chicks, skidded the length of Main St, etc etc?

    Unfortunately this project has come to a halt. Its up for sale on Gumtree, lack of finance and a lot of other commitments means I wont be able to complete it.
