^Also were you able to do the swap with the getrag without any bumpsteer issues or hood clearance issues?

 

The getrag would require modification for the shifter as well as a modified driveshaft. But yes, ANYTHING is possible....with money.

Tech2 says that there are no bumpsteer issues with their kit.

They "recommend" using an aftermarket hood like the Scoot hood, for clearance...

Personally, the Scoot hood is my favorite anyways, so I have no problems with that.

I'm going Scoot Hood, '99 front-bumper, '99 rear tails and spoiler, and then just find some side-skirts I like.

 

jimlab, where did you get your info on the sp 2jz-fd? i contacted them after you said there car switched lanes while trying to run the 1/4 mile. and well they said nothing like that happened. it did have bump steer issues but nothing like you made it sound. so i ask again where you got that info?
on a good note! i have had my car well past 100mph in 3rd and no switching lanes, no feeling as if im out of control, etc. why is that?

 

From a direct quote they made in a magazine article on the car.

Ask them if their memory is as faulty as their morals... they were going to rip off my bushing design until people said they wouldn't buy from anyone pulling that kind of ****.

Maybe your fabricator was able to work enough of the bump steer out that it's fairly stable. Did you ever get a solid answer on how far the rack was moved?

 

just telling you what they told me.
no i haven't even asked how far it was moved.

 

hi res photos taken at world of wheels car show. photos taken by 1320videos. dans dent in the radiator stands out kinda bad! enjoy!

 

you really brought it to a car show with no front bumper...

 

see that silver thing in the background called a "bumper cover"? the bumper was off to show all the work necessary to fit and plum a 2jz into a fd

 

THat car is looking really good! Are you changing the gear ratio out back to bring it closer to what a Supra typically runs?

Are you planning on being at SevenStock in Irvine at Mazda HQ this year?

 

Looking hardcore, good job.

 

does anyone know these guys? I want to know what they did with the steering rack...

 

running the stock fd rear end right now. im having a hard time deciding between the ford 8.8 irs, and the supra tt rear end. prob end up going with the supra auto rear end though.
never herd of it? give me all the details i love to see if i can make it!

 

rack was lowered. 1.25in bumpsteer kit was installed to clear up issue

 

My english isnt that good, so i have to ask something: Do u mean with 1.25in, that the steering rack was lowered for 1.25 inch?
Do u get pics of the steering rack? Where can i get such a kit? How is the handling with this kit?

Thx and bye

 

my kit was all custom fabricated by a friend of mine. i know tech2 motorsports builds a kit to buy that doesnt lower the rack

 

if u dont lower the rack, u will have a better handling right? So why did u had to lower the rack? Did u put the engine deeper?

I thought u have no chance to let the rack stock because of the depth of the 2JZ?

 

You have to bring that car to Sevenstock XI:
https://www.rx7club.com/west-rx-7-forum-193/announcement-sevenstock-xi-748673/

There will be a bunch of LS1/LS2/LS7 powered FD's as well.

I have a Viper Dana 44 3:07 diff if you are interested. They withstand 1400rwtq twin turbo V10 Viper punishment.

These guys can make the axles: http://www.gounitrax.com/viper.htm or http://www.driveshaftshop.com/madza.ivnu

 

Roachdiddy,

if you go with the supra tt rearend go with the Manual one. Second if you do go with either the auto or manual rearend do you have to get custom axles made? and if so who makes custom axles?

 

Roach,

Go with the 3.13 from the 6spd supra. The v160 is geared for the 3.13 and let me know when you hit 200mph.

 

does anyone has an answer for my question?

 

im there! you can count me in... is it also a car show?
what do you want for the viper rear end?

 

if you can keep it in stock location it is the best... but if you lower the rack 1.25in and you install a 1.25in bump steer kit you are also fine. didnt change better or worse.

 

but i thought u HAVE to lower the rack... Wasnt that always the biggest problem with the 2JZ? Could u show us pics of ur bump steer kit and from the bottom of ur car?

 

i dont have any pics of my bump steer kit. google it. and i dont have any good pics of the under side of my car.
no you dont "have to move" the rack. only if you want to run the stock hood and the getrag

 

man congrats of the build its finally complete! i'd love to see some got vids of the car on the street
