New Member....My G35 Sedan 2JZ Build

I'm a new member here. I usually post on some of the local forums, but I thought that you guys might enjoy my G35 build.

I pretty much copied the build thread that the shop that built it posted. Anyways, here it is:
  • 1995 Auto Aristo 2JZ-GTE
  • Kelford Cams
  • Supertech Springs and Retainers
  • ARP Head Studs
  • Cometic Head Gasket
  • Edlebrock 70mm Throttle Body
  • HKS Timing Belt


  • PTE 67
  • TurboSmart 48mm Wastegate
  • Custom V-Band Intercooler Piping
  • 4" core Intercooler
  • HKS "black" BOV
  • 3" Downpipe


  • 10 Gallon Fuel Cell
  • Aeromotive A1000 Pump
  • Aeromotive A1000 Regulator
  • -8AN Feed
  • HKS Fuel Rail
  • 1200cc RC Fuel Injectors


  • R154 Trans w/ Marlin Crawler Trust washer
  • OS Giken Twin Disk
  • Custom Driveshaft
  • Quaife Differential


  • AEM EMS v2
  • AEM IAT
  • AEM 5 BAR


I have pictures from the entire build. I'll post more pictures in the AM, but here are a few of the "nearly" finished product.

Here is the car before the swap. We just ordered a set of CCW Classics today.



And the old VQ:



And the 2JZ



In the car



Here is the initial start up video:





Polishing the water necks


Head Studs going in. The picture makes it look like cylinder walls were very rusty, but they were not.


Here is a picture of the Fuel Cell Sump and the A1000

For the mount kit, the cross member has to be trimmed back and boxed in to clear the pan. The engine mounts need to be made, but are fairly simple to fabricate, as is the tranny mount. We were planning to keep the A/C, and had started making the lines, then the car changed hands. The new owner plans to use the car for track use only, so he decided to leave the A/C off.

As for cooling, we used a radiator that was made for the G35, and modified the water necks to work with it. The upper neck was cut, the section with the 2 water nipples were removed, and it was welded back together in the opposite direction. That made it possible to use a 90 degree upper radiator hose. After the new owner bought the car, we also installed a Mishimoto Radiator for the G35. The lower radiator hose outlet is on the drivers side of the G35 radiator, so we welded that shut, and moved it to the passenger side to accommodate a shorter hose. We're using 2 pusher fans on the front of the radiator, but there is room for fans on the backside.

Here is a pic of the radiator outlet. You can also see the clearance between the pulleys and the OEM G35 Radiator.

We are using the stock 6 speed rear, but we replaced the stock differential with a Quaife.

Quaife is on the left, stock viscous is on the right.

Dan at CCW made magic happen as usual. The order was placed on Monday, and the wheels were made, shipped overnight, and arrived to us this morning.

These are the CCW LM-5. They are 11" Front and 12" Rear.

Generally, I'm not a fan of the "HellaFlush" look, but I think it's going to suit this car. 225/40/18 F and 245/40/18 R Tires.

^Thanks... I know a lot of guys won't like the car because the VQ was removed. I build the car to use as a drifter... So I needed reliable HP, and I wanted something that no one else has.

I've never seen another one like this.

Very nice build. I'm curious as to why you went with a 2jz instead of 'keeping it in the family' with an rb26?

Clean sedan, perfect wheel fitment, great engine! Awesome job!
