I finished my 3d printed gauge panel, turned out pretty good I think

[Brati007]

kratzfest und widerstandsfähig? ich denk auch schon ne weile drüber nach mir nen 3d drucker zu zulegen ...

[NoobInOPTank]

Kratzfest wahrscheinlich nicht, aber das fasst man auch nicht wirklich an. Ist geschliffen und lackiert, weil man sonst die Struktur vom drucken sehen würde. Ich habe selber auch keinen 3D Drucker, kann man sich aber online unter zB treatstock für 10€ ausdrucken lassen. Da muss man schon viel ausdrucken bevor sich ein eigener Drucker lohnt

What's so special about the 2JZ engine?

It's very durable and has high tuning potential with minimal effort, which made and makes it a popular choice and a legendary engine in the scene.

[Dr_Slartibartfart]

Yeah the head gaskets and cylinders are strong as fuck so it can just handle the turbo pressure. Those things aren't cheap at all and that is epic as fuck what you made there

Motor und Getriebe waren nicht so weit zerlegt, dass wieder etwas eingestellt werden müsste. Habe nur großen Service am Motor gemacht, Zahnriemen, Wasserpumpe, Simmerringe usw.

Already wondered who that pleb was

What's so special about the 2JZ engine?

What makes them special is that you can push them to crazy power levels without opening them (Stronger rods and pistons). With a bigger turbo, larger fuel injectors and a standalone ECU you can push these to 700 HP on stock internals, which is pretty crazy when the engine has like 300 HP stock. With stronger rods and pistons you can make 1000+ HP, which is probably plenty to kill yourself
They are not cheap engines, but still a decent value for the price. I paid around 3,4k for an Toyota Aristo halfcut (car cut in half in Japan) and sold the rest. So the engine was around 2,5k€. As an comparison, the S50 E36 M3 Engine is around 5k€, so thats like double the price for an non turbo engine...

Work in progress as you can see, gotta work on the rattling, but need to wait until the rain stops. I still have a lot of the stuff I used on my doors that I am going to use on my trunk lid and the sides and probably the bottom too.

[Mettkrieger]

You don't really go shopping with your car, right?

[Xen]

I will put it all the way on one side instead of in the middle and then a bit furhter back, i think i will get a few cm out of that. but yeh, i dont do a lot of grocery shopping with my car

[Mettkrieger]

I thought about dampening my car as well, but can't be bothered to take it apart

[Xen]

its really nice tho, helps a lot

same track. That rattling kinda noise you can still hear is nowhere near as loud IRL and you can only hear it when the trunk is open. Used about 3 to 4 sauareters of alu buthyl on trunk lid, the wheel wells, the spare wheel cover, the rear wall and the license plate. It'd be better if I put another layer on the lid, connecting the two layers of sheet metal, but I needed a break. Might go do it later. E: Did it now. Much better actually.

The sound when you close the trunk changed from tin can to s-class

It has a cast iron block like the 32, 33, 34 gtr's. Very very heavy but bullet proof

Forgot to post an update here. Car has been driving for a while now, its really fun! Pulls like a train, 2nd and 3rd gear just spins. I am currently building an exhaust and then I have to paint some things so it doesnt look like a trashcan.
