Hello all, newest member here... I live out in Vancouver, Canada; home of mountain biking, hockey and no vehicle inspection. I have always loved cars, my dad used to drag, and i don't remember a time i didn't have a hotwheel in my hand.
So here we go, I was always into racing, but drifting has always had a place in my heart, growing up near some high performance go cart tracks i've gotten my fair share of experience. With that in mind, i worked all summer landscaping for $16 (10 euro) an hour.. And picked up a 1989 240sx. It has 216k on the KA24E auto trans. My plans is to swap for an I6. Hmmm RB26? Not enough $$$ RB25/20? Not enough vroom... So what does that leave me with? Oh i know lets go find an 04 GMC Envoy and pull the LQ4.. Yea! V8 swapped 240.. No thanks i want to keep my eardrums.. So here i was, lost for ideas, scrolling through craigslist (mini ebay) and came across a 1jz.
Now when i say good deal that's an understatement. 1j from a chaser, r154, 2x twin turbos 2x fuel rail 2x injectors, 2x belts and new gaskets and pumps and all that jazz... Oh for 1250CAD (842euro) Did i mention i got the car for 1600?(1078e) So here's the rub, i know motors, not wiring, id prefer not to fork out 1000 dollars on a harness. So if anyone has some input i would love to hear it. I'll be checking this site regularly because i asked this on nicoclub but if it has anything to do with non nissan parts they crap their pants. So lets give this a shot. If anyone has any steps or guidance for me on the 1j swap wiring and anything else let me know.
Thanks for your time, hopefully i can make a build thread as well. Thank you all!
