Hi. Joined this forum due to my love of such great engines. I put a 1jz in my Datsun 240z in 2010 and its transformed the car into a real track weapon. When it came time to choose an engine for my daily driver 280z it had to be lexus again but this time in NA form. What better than a 3uz-fe. The engine is out of a GS430 and I now have it stating and running on my workshop floor. This project is in its very early stages and at the moment the bodyshell is on axle stands with the engine and auto box positioned in its new location. I will need to make some engine and gearbox mounts but first I need to find a rear sump as the front sump on the 3uz is right were the crossmember and rack goes. Ill start a build thread if anyone is interested. I have a website with some of my car listed. The blue one is the 1j and the ratty lavender 280z is the one for this project.
