decided to reorganize the garage to put the Lexus in the middle so I can record better while working on it.

Move the cara around and should have this N54 pulled this weekend. I need to get a BMW Tow Hook to pull this engine out.

Some nice Ignition Projects plaques to run in the engine bay

Can’t wait to drive this thing. Hypertune parts should be coming end of December. Roof panel needs to be re-ordered as the place I ordered it from delivery date was too far out.

No offense intended, because I know you didn't make it yourself, but the fitment of the hood looks way off. Is that just loosely assembled, or is it actually off by that much?
I found their trunk fit really well and it looks like their widebody usually fits pretty well too, I was considering getting the hood in the future.

The hood is not attached. So all that area in the front is loose. From fenders, bumper, and hood. They are all not fully bolted down. The hood I can pick up and set aside when ever I need to. It’s easier that easy as it would be a paint to bolted down and then I bolted because I need to get in the engine bay or whatever the case maybe. So no worries. It looks like that for a reason.

Pulled the N54 out of the rolling 335i BMW shell. Might 2jz swap it but its a much later build. Engine is going to someone else.

I needed to pull this N54 to give it to my buddy Billy. So now, I can return to the normally scheduled programming of working on the GS300

thanks bro, it means a lot. It’s a lot of work to do all of the work on the car, record, edit, upload, then do it on the social media outlets too. So I try to put time away to get all of it done. As I mentioned before the work put in by others has helped me with my build as well as a see questions I have had in the past and continue to have. So I keep working to make sure I do my part to help the community!!

A bit of an update for everyone. I will be getting this GS6-53BZ transmission mount. Sourcing one or making one custom has been a challenge as I am no fabricator. So I will be buying a blank one from CSB Customs. They are out in the Netherlands. So once I get it I will have a video as I work to drill the holes to make the minting holes align to the transmission.


This is the GS6-53DZ. It’s the Diesel version of the 53BZ that I have. This is on a MK4 Supra GS6-53DZ: Diesel GS6-53BZ: Petrol/Gasoline
