Sorry to jack your thread Ben. I think the list idea was fantastic. I see the 1UZ as being the SBC of the next generation and it's swap potential is just as limitless. This more people that take interest in the 1UZ, the more aftermarket resources become available. BlownV8, Isn't there an html...

Any RWD Corolla. I think all are in the <2200 lb range. I haven't measured it, but a Datsun 510 would be cool. My buddy has a L28, CT26 and direct port nitrous. Has run a 10.96 on slicks. Porsche 914 (don't know how this would work). BMW 2002. We have to worry about tough smog laws in...

I'm a Toyota fan really, but I think the Nissan VH45 has a leg up on the 1UZ. My good friend just destroyed the production car land speed record set by the Nissan Factory Team in a 300ZX (226 mph). He has been flown all over the Western hemisphere tuning Z cars. Certainly an authority. We've...

Maybe something simple like this. Instead of the standard franklin font, how about the LEXUS script like in the Lextreme banner. I'm not an artist but I can arrange anything on PS. There are hundreds of ways to do this.

1UZ-HZ, If you can, keep the flexplate since it's already done for you. Most converter shops can relocate the Ford converter legs to fit the Lexus flexplate. You might have to get a lexus converter to make sure the leg height is right. The button on the crank side of the turbine housing would...

I think Ltuned GS400 is using the spray on his. Give him a shout.

Thanks guys. Keep em coming.

I have a new site that I'll be finishing shortly. It's a rough documentation of the buildup of my 72 TE27. These early TE body style Corollas can be had for cheap and make great swap candidates because of their simplicity. Chrisman, on our forum is doing the later AE body style Corolla GTS and...

Your mailbox was full. I might be able to help you with photoshop.

Ltuned, are you the same Ltuned from Fresnoracing.com? If so, welcome!

You might already be on here, but once again I'm cleaning up my links page. http://www.1uzfe.com/hp_links.htm Lextreme is up to about 2000 members now. I know some of you are working on projects or have some that are finished. I don't care if you just started or are in the middle. If you...

I've always wondered when this topic would rear itself in one of our threads. V8 junkie, the original question had to do with swapping a LS1 for a 1UZ. I'm guessing it could be done, I really don't know, but why the hell not? How many 1UZ's have been put in Nissans, Mazdas, and U.S. models...

I'm not sure this deserves a new thread, but I didn't want to jack the Grand Am 3UZ thread. Anyway. Has anyone had a problem or has heard of one with the timing belt tensioner. Notice how the 3UZ on the Grand Am engine had it removed?

Very excitied to see the results.

Ahh, I see. I like the way some of them look when lowered and done right. I know what you mean by the digital dashes. The 80's brought about some pretty cheesy items. Who could ever forget the talking Nissan Maxima?

Forgive us in the US, we don't have these--at least not to my knowledge. Where do they stand in the stream of choice cars in Au? It looks like they come in a few varieties. I think I've seen them with 1G, 7M, and 1J. I suspect they are a lot like the MA70 supras? Since I can't ever own one...

zuffen and lextreme, great info. thanks for the help.

The SC400's have come down into the price range where I can finally afford one. Seems like you can get anything you want; low mileage=$$$$$, or higher mileage=$. I've always been in love with this car and would like one for a daily driver. It would be only freeway driving at about 100 miles/day...

I recently picked up a copy of "Lexus, the relentless persuit of perfection" by Chester Dawson. Great stuff!
