JZ S12 BUILD, RIP 2012

buy real foam so you dont have to worry about passing tech later. places will notice and fail you.

looks good.

floor mats... ??? seriously? any track/race/autocross etc event I've been to, they make you toss em out! (Okay okay, I've only made it to ONE autocross.. hehe..)

I guess it is nice to keep the rug clean.. oh wait.. are you even putting that in? haha

I think it kinda sucks that you're ditching the interior, but I totaly understand as well.

I just love seeing a caged car with all its interior intact. its just soo sweet.

but yeah. be looking forward to more picks n hopefully some vids!

what kinda of cage is that? like how many point/style/what is it good for legaly? looks an awefull lot like a sort of stock car cage from when I was a kidlet, cept it doesnt go to/carty on into the engine bay and such. (my old man and unckles raced stock cars, old fashioned hillbilly oval dirt tracks type.. lol)

auxillary cooler fan is sick!!!!!! nice color choice on teh cage.

they can sit there...they just haz to wear helmetzzzzzz....on the streetzzzzz.

Lol@cooler fan. That is secks.

I was going to put a fan on the sunroof too!
great minds. Though mine was going to be a pusher on the outside with a rally style scoop over the top covering it up.

hes got all the specs for my hatch saved for next time too. he charged me 800

haha.. the "other car" that took up my garage for the last forever had a twin fan n shroud from the front of a windstar sitting over it.

Looked almost like it was made to be there! haha

great progress david.  I dont like the "halo" configuration but I guess the builder was into it at the time

^^^ Those look like they'd be way easy to install, but I'm guessing they're not. I hope you'll be doing a write-up on what it takes to get that bad boy in working order.

David Bvery simple too install, though this unit has SAE thread pitch or something, and my car is metric. so im probally gonna have to just cut/flare and add the right fittings on

David Bbrake works, well at least in the garage. i have yet to test it. but i can stop the car from rolling backwards lol

MaxpowBecoming more rare in these parts.

reinforce the tunnel where its mounted.  just needs a piece of plate welded in under it as sort of a base.  stiffen the floor and spread the load of u yankin the handle

Thats pretty neato!!!!

Very cool!

awesome! it looks great.

Sweeet! Well done! Looks like a comonly used one too.

I like Iggys idea on the mounting re-inforcment.

I remember somewhere talking about hooking the brake up to an actuator etc run off a push button mounted on the shifter knob..     or maybe I kept that one to myself... ? hehe

personaly I never had a problem with my normal stock e-brake.. until I left it on halfway around a course once in my excited grabbin at things. Although it still works pretty good, enough to lock up the rears still...

new shoes and adjustment would do wonders, however theres no hope for it to have the strength of a hydro-handbrake..

haha a nail??

magnetic oil drain plug?

Kustamogenhaha a nail??

magnetic oil drain plug?

so what it going on with the SR now.

Hahahah David I found this, wow remember that shit?

Nothing like the look and smell of watered down oil.

Yummy. One of the worst smelling engine destuction methods out there

so did the HG blow AGAIN? AND theres a nail in your tranny? haha

when i first saw the pic of the brown liquid i thought david was making pancakes....not going to lie...

so i found a longblock for 800 bux...

im thinking about putting the longblock in, and rebuilding mine in the meantime.

Kustamogenso did the HG blow AGAIN? AND theres a nail in your tranny? haha

dude you never do get a break do you?

How the HELL do you get a nail inside the trans???

seishukuHow the HELL do you get a nail inside the trans???

any idea where the gasket blew or how it did?

If you think you are having issues with the Sr20, (very minor ones I might add like lean/rich etc...) I can assure you its not going to be much better if you go to something different.  Its a damned near perfect engine you got so my advice, build this block properly, take your time, dont half ass and slowly work out the tuning kinks and you shall be very happy.  You run an engine pretty damned hard when drifting, build it right now and enjoy.   Fast, reliable, cheap...Pick only two, you arnt an exception.   Cheers  Tyler.

Ohh, and unless you havn't figured it out yet, Stop driving with coolant leaks and Stop dropping nails in your fucking trannys!!!

hmm what elsE?

rear and front seal are brand new lol. might change them again.

ive got greddy RAS.. look at the pic of my torn down head, there on the sides

thinking about cams also. but idk. i want cams.

It's apart, and cheap, so why not eh?
Shit, didn't notice those, your covered!
Cams can always be added later. They're easy. I dunno how much they cost, but from what I understand worth it. But cannot attest to it myself. Maybe Matt will chime in on that

haha cant get a break?  how u think this guy gets so much sweet stuff for dirt cheap and tons of seat time for dirt cheap.  hes probably bangin tons of teenage bitches too haha.  you got this shit handled David.  btw an alum head can be flattened at certain shops.  but most shops just wanna mill the head.. which is actually wrong..

warped alum head torqued down to think iron block (analog for engine block) and cooked in a furnace.  dont remem temp or time but u might be able to google it.  about 500 degrees though
