Default Some Engine shots just before I ship my car out of Japan
Finally leaving Japan at the end of the month.

I will be shipping out my car tomorrow. So I took some shots of the engine since I was doing some final tuning.

I wish I had more time. I didnt get to install my HKS cams and cam gears, but I can do that when I get back home.

hmmm... It does compress.

Well that is how the 1JZ torque dampers is installed according to the Vertex instructions.. All the torque dampers I have seen are usually found on the turbo side.

Yeah, its on my build thread.

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/per...project-5.html

I changed out the wheels and raised the car up a bit for shipping. Couldn't really get it high enough. Zeal coilovers dont have a lot of play when raising the car up.

The wheels I got on them are temporary.

I will try to get some shots of it tomorrow.

We are gonna be putting it on a loader to take down to Yokohama.

I guess it doesnt matter.
but you're right the engine does more to that side. all the ones I've ever seen installed were on the other side

I never saw the end of your build thread until now. I love everything you've done with it. The interior, exterior, engine, all awesome!

I really dont have a problem with the engine moving.

I also have solid Kazama motor mounts installed.
