Mine is a non targa and I’m OK with that haha! So far I have removed the A/C, the engine is actually lighter than a 7mgte, ditched the seats, ditching ABS, Koyo Rad, 2jz clutch fan, aluminum drive shaft, single turbo, and aftermarket exhaust. Will get a fiberglass or carbon hood and paint it to match maybe next year. I’m thinking that has to be at least 300 lb reduction. I have a break down of how much everything weighs that someone on the net put together. I’ll post it up here if I can find it when I get home. ---

I love Japanese V8’s. A Mk3 supra with a 1UZ or a 300ZX with a VH45 has got to be awesome. Like a japanese camaro, only probably more reliable. ---

Yea, they both def bolt right in there. I have awesome electrical diagrams for the body plugs that make it really easy. Unsure of 2jz wiring, but I know there are pinouts and diagrams out there. The 2jz is a bit of a squeeze with the stock twins, but it will fit. But 2jz with single, not an issue… 🙂 You really don’t have to lengthen the harness on the 1jz, which is what the PITA is. Just extend the body plugs slightly and go through the driver side with a grommet and snake the harness through the dash to the glove box (future goal to hide wires).
