Dismantling: Huge spec 1JZ S15 breaking - Bride/Volk/Holset/R154/Exedy/Spec R Aero

[chopaholic]

It pains me to do this but unfortunately after the 1JZ engine starting to rattle yesterday I have decided to break my 1JZ S15. I have spent two years slowly building the car and unfortunately now have lost heart and want to go back to owning a 180sx which I care less about and don’t mind pranging off walls.

Please note, the car is still whole and driving and will not be stripped until 2 weeks’ time (due to work commitments). Once the car has been stripped the items that have not had a deposit placed on them will be photographed.

All prices are collected from Northern Ireland, however I can arrange postage at buyer’s expense, all items will be wrapped correctly or large items can be put on a pallet for collection.

Deposit/full payment can be taken on all items and upon removing them from the car they will be posted out. Please note I offer NO refund on the deposits placed, I do not want my time wasted.

Please no silly offers. All payments/deposits by Paypal with fees covered or as gift.

The car is currently sitting as pictured.

No no no no no STOP.

Very sad. I've never seen a build with so many set backs that you overcame. Such a shame but has to be done I suppose

 

[Woodcutter]

Oh dear!

 

[McFall1984]

your mad
engine swap/change not an option?

 

[PeteMoore]

Choppy ya balloon. Don't do it. Throw another engine at it

 

[chopaholic]

Thanks guys but ive already started the madness of selling haha

It isn't a hard fix as it is, but I have just lost heart, I want another 180sx to be a bit more careless with, with the price of cars from Japan at the moment there has never been a better time. I could also do with freeing up some money towards other things.

 

[hannakournikova]

Any more details of rear arm set and pics?

 

[Cess]

Gutted. Can I come and see it before you start? Haven't even seen it yet

 

[ace275]

If the bad engine is going cheap, it would be awesome for a table

Maybe consider advertising on few of the drift forums if you havent already,hate to say it but n.ireland is the worst place for selling things full of timewasters and dreamers wanting it for nothing,mainland is a lot better mate

Still can't believe you are doing this, would be a perfect time for a 1.5JZ or even a 2JZ. You say you want a car you care less about yet you are breaking this one so that doesn't make sense, I guess what I'm saying is just fix it and drive and don't care for it more than you want to.

Can someone educate me on the 1JZ, 1.5JZ and 2JZ engines?

What cars did these all come in standard? I know the Supra had a 2JZ?!

When you could get 3 or 4 180sx's from Japan and have just as much fun in for the price in this car it makes sense to break it. You'd have more fun smashing a 2-3k car off a hedge rather than something you've spent over 2years building and the money that's been put into it.

Pretty sure the manifold doesn't fit a vvti if your thinking about it for your car.

Bugger, fair shout I thought Choppys was VVTI.

 

[andy.]

K's racing on eBay do a good manifold for them if you don't want to spend big money. Seen 4 of them now and they've all been 100%

1JZ is the 2.5 and the 2JZ is the 3.0. 2JZ can handle more power and have more torque with similar mods. The 1.5JZ is a hybrid of the two, usually a 3.0 bottom end with the 1JZ head, these didn't come from the factory.
1JZ's come in chasers, Mk3 Supras and soarers.
Mk4 Supras and aristos had a turbocharged 2JZ from factory although the NA engines can be found in soarers and is300s and the more basic aristo/gs300.
Might be some more obscure ones but that's the jist of it.

I already buy/sell on most of them and all the stuff has been advertised already, 95% of the stuff I sell has went to Mainland. Thanks though!

As Shaun says Ian, I want a cheaper car which costs less to maintain, although as a few people will know I wasn't feared of having fun in the S15, the expensive headlights, expensive glass, expensive panels, expensive wheels all start to get the better of you when you are wondering if you should push that little bit harder.

This S15 will be alot of money in breaking as you can see from the thread, I will be buying a 180sx and putting the rest of the money into something I have been planning for a little while

@Artoir - All the turbo stuff has gone already mate but 100% consider a HY35 for your car, Awesome turbo on a JZ.
