very nice car

 

op how did you wire the ms? you still have the stock ecu correct? i really like that ecu..!

 

Picked up a used lightweight JWT 350z flywheel for cheap. I like the fact that the replacement surfaces for these are only $65.




As for wiring MS, hit me up in PM and I can share what I know with ya.

 

This thread is incredibly awesome!

It's funny I also am a previous DSMer (Had GVR4 #638) who now has a Jade sc300.

I am running an Aristo ECU and a bunch of other OEM Goodies like FFIM, and LSD from a MKIII Supra.

Keep up the good work!

 

spoolxexo how are you running a mk3 lsd in an sc300? im really interested in this...

 

Please visit my "Crispy" thread, and "MKIII Pumpkin in sc" thread, thank you.



On topic: This car is awesome and I am excited to see how your FFIM comes out!

 

Ha, weird coincidence. Any details on your old GVR4?

 

Yeah this guy named Bruce Kwartler sold it to me for 7 grand and it **** out two engines in two weeks. Nice craftsmanship, Bruce.

I picked up a job at a Dyno shop and Ross/ Eagled/ Arp'ed the hell out of it! WQNK JDM Rally trans with 3.90 final. sleeper 20g in td05 housings, ACT2600, EPROM tune, blah, blah.

It broke the trans, and my sanity so I moved over to Toytota!

Search "Number 638" you will see the build thread, but screw DSMs!

 

It is indeed coming together.. We demand more pictures!!! I know you must have some hidden somewhere in your computer.. LOL

 

Damn! forreal that sc is cleann! keep up the good work!

 

Thanks guy As for pics, no don't have anymore at the moment lol. I think my plan is to get the whole rear subframe done and installed before moving onto anything else. Slowly but surely.

Only updates for today are that I joined the group buy for the Rideskinz Rear Lip, so that should be coming at some point.
Purchased a clutch which will arrive this week. JWT 350z clutch with a feramic disc.
Purchased the rest of the 350z swap kit, which was basically just the flexplate to flywheel adapter.
Still keeping my eyes peeled for a deal on a trans.
Still looking for an LSD for the rear diff (subframe can't go back in till I find this).

 

Flexplate adapter and hardware

 

sweeeeeet!!! alot of pics.... halon must be really into this...lol. Let us know how you liked the ms3. good luck.

 

Some other misc info I'll post up since I've been asked.

WEIGHTS
Stock 2jz Flywheel = 34lbs (source = internet, however I will measure mine once I get it off)
Stock 350Z flywheel = 37lbs (source = internet)

My Setup
Stock 2jz Flexplate = 5lbs (source = none, this is a complete guess, cannot find this, will measure once I have one in hand)
JWT 350z Flywheel = 14lbs (measured by me)
Custom Flexplate to Flywheel adapter = 3lbs (measured by me)

Total = 22lbs (12lbs less than OEM 34lb flywheel).

Again, I will measure some of these myself once I get the parts in hand.


Gearing

Supra 6spd
V160 - (V161)
1st - 3.827 / (3.724)
2nd - 2.360 / (2.246)
3rd - 1.685 / (1.541)
4th - 1.312 / (1.205)
5th - 1.000 / (1.000)
6th - 0.793 / (0.818)
rev 3.280 / (3.192)

350Z 6spd
1st - 3.794
2nd - 2.324
3rd - 1.624
4th - 1.271
5th - 1.000
6th - .794

So you can see the 350z gearing is pretty much right in the middle of the 2 Supra 6spd's.

 

Rear Subframe is disassembled. Took about 2hrs longer than it needed to because one bolt was seized in one of the arms. Had to resort to the grinder.

I want to replace most of these fasteners. Not sure what other people do, but I'm guessing I'll have to just go to the dealer to get most of these? Where else would someone go for decent SS metric hardware, maybe Fastenal?
