Zg Silvia Project

It's good to hear you decided to keep the FJ!

Arro
LOL dude he's in Croatia, can you guess what it would cost to ship, not to mention importation fees and other complicated crap? Remember what Colin went through? LOL

uhhhh i don't think you really understand how much cost is involved, Jeff... you could build a superbeast drag engine KA for that cost.

arro is right...it would cost you a fortune...it's much easier and economical for you to buy fj engine from japan then from europe....

some news on my silvia...

all new suspension
all new lowered and hardened springs, 40mm at front and 30mm at rear
new brakes
new clutch
new idle engine
and some more things that i don't know how to say on english

more photos soon,
I am looking for some wide old school JDM 16' or 17' rims...

POB!!

I wonder how hard it really is to get a FJ in the US.

I would say it's probably not that hard if you have the money lol

Niiiice!

Maybe it would cheaper to have some one tear it down and mail parts??

I know people do that with handguns and crap... go on holidays to amsterdam, buy a gun, rip it apart, mail parts of it to a couple different adresses while they travel and site see etc, get home from vaccation, re-assemble. lol

Doubt it would be cheaper, but meh, just a thought.

it would be more expensive.  done work in this dept.

there was a local guy who had one (SR20 Store) a year or so ago, dunno how or why he got it, but he said he sold it for $900.

$900.

dammit.

hey guys, I am not planing to sell my FJ20

Hey guys...

I got one question about fj20 gearbox, is it only mine so short or is that normal for fj20 gearboxes?
because when I am going 100 km/h in 5. gear (which is 62mp/h), engine is runing at 4000 RPM-s...and other gears are also very short...

and here are some news...
new Kayaba gas shocks are on car and low springs 40mm front and 30mm rear, so now it looks like this...







also I have put new dash board...




and some more photos of the engine...it is really amazing engine....

that motor looks soooo nice in those last two shots! Great ride keep it up!

thanks guys

but I am really interested in this gear rations question, is it normal for fj20 gearboxes to be so short?

zg silvia
thanks guys

but I am really interested in this gear rations question, is it normal for fj20 gearboxes to be so short?

From what I know, the FS5W71C was mainly found in 2 different gear ratio...
The z31 and sr20det got a wider ratio with a longer over drive then all the rest, mk2 s-12, s-13 etc.  I have no info on the FJ powered car.  

Also, the R200 was available in multiple ratio, 3.56 3.7 3.9 4.11
Since the engine and tranny were swaped (engine for sure, tranny could be the same) you can have any combination.  Since the mk2 ca18et tranny was also a type C transmission, it would bolt on fine on the FJ, might require a bellhousing swap.  And the Ca18 got the steep overdrive, 0.864, compared to the 0.733 of the z31

My guess is that the stock FJ20 uses the wider ratio transmission... longer 5th gear, and you have a CA18 transmission that has the closer ratio, shorter 5th gear

or if you are lucky, you have a modified 5 speed O/D tranny in a 5 speed non-O/D tranny.  They are selling kit to go that, but they are quite expensive and the labor to change all gear ratio is pretty intense.

always so beautiful, you have a MK1 hood on a body MK2
junction is clean?
I just bought a hood
