Yep, I've had a 1j in a JZZ30, so I'm ready to see what a 2j is gonna do.
Update, ran the fuel return line yesterday. Ended up using 4 -6AN fittings and some -6AN steel braided line. Really wish I didn't start this swap with a close to full tank but it happened. I'll post pics today.

update
Been super busy with work and family. Almost everything is back in order +Aristo front end w/HID's are installed. Did the tach rewire, which sorted out the low engine oil light I was getting. Going for the first drive hopefully tomorrow. A couple of things I'd want to say about the swap, hopefully this will shed more light for anyone else that's doing/planning to do the same swap:
1: the heater core leads need to be angled to the right (if your facing the car, angle them towards the driver side)
2: the pic included with this post is a pic of the wire that runs from the JDM ignitor to the wire hareness.
Maybe I didn't research enough but these two items weren't to clear in the other posts I've read.
Next stop is the exhaust shop, need to run a pipe after the dp to the rest of the factory exhaust.

Ah, so you had to run a wire for the ignitor it looks like? Or is that wire for the tach? Appreciate you taking the time to post the info! I'm sure it will come in handy when I get to this in the coming weeks.
Nice work! Hope the first drive goes well.

In order to get the tach working, i removed the wire from the usdm igniter(green and yellow wire, third from the left), installed it into the JDM one and then soldier that to the wire on the harness.

First drive went well, only snag came in the form of my fans not switching on. I'll be switching it back to the Aristo fan switch in the morrow, hopefully that'll fix that.
