Man 
, I will be glad to help for free . If you can solder and know how to read wiring diagrams (being at home with electrical/electronics) and use a multitester / ohmmeter ...I can tell you what to do and am sure you can do it. Just be patient.
That is the reason why I am documenting what I am doing. I don't have to waste all my time taking pictures, writing things down here .....but I want to help and give back thats why I started this thread. I have learned a lot reading different forums. So by just documenting what I am doing with my toys , I know I am encouraging people to do whatever they can on these toys we like to play with. Man, if you have been where I have been on these toys , you will either have given up like so many others have done OR been forced to tinker with things yourself just like what I am doing.
After all the bad experiences I had and a lot of money and time I spent in the past trying to get these toys , I finally said to myself , "If they can do it , I can do it and If I can't tinker with them , then I am not playing with them. "
I have heard too many people having too many horrible stories and am sure you did too about projects gone wrong. A lot of people will try to help not because they want to help but because of vested interests. Aside from my experience, I can name a lot of people locally , who have spent a lot of money on these toys and still don't have a good toy after. At least if I fail doing things myself , nobody to blame but myself and would have learned a lot from it. There is No Better teacher than experiencing things yourself.
So let me know in whatever I can help . I am not trying to take away the opportunities of other establishments or other people to make money . I am just trying to help others who do not have that much money to pay others to have their toys running. So I will extend a helping hand anytime in as much as I can.
Besides, whatever I know on this automotive industry , I came to know from others and different forums. The automotive industry is not where I make my living, just my passion . So I will gladly give back to others especially what I came to know from others.

Am getting closer to dropping this powerplant.. .just waiting for an AC line to surface 
.. am being cheap 
.. don't want to spend $100 to get the AC lines from the firewall and the two compressor hoses... I know soon a junk SC300 will come out on these pull-a-parts places near me and those wont cost but $10 . I have 5 of those pull apart within 40 miles my place . Just got to wait . Well I have all the time , am not in a hurry after all .

the Q is : is the A/C work cooled enough and the engine is can handle these high-temp with 500+hp ?
By the way all your's cars look fantastic

. I worked for three years as an expat in the IT division of a big group of companies in Saudi Arabia when I was still a bachelor. And I miss making those big bucks as an expat in the Middle East. All savings, no where to spend your money . I have seen a lot of good and exotic cars in that place. Damn .. and with the price of a liter of gas a lot cheaper than a liter of bottled water ... shoot .. I can leave the car running for 24/7 without worrying paying for expensive gas.Yes the AC will work good enough in the middle east. A lot of our American cars and Japanese cars are in the Middle East and their aircon are good.
The cooling system, particularly the radiator should be upgraded. It will be a must for high horsepower applications. . The OEM clutch fan flows a lot of air and had been proven to do its work really good in high horsepower supras. Although I am using the twin electric fans from an IS300 on my supra which really flows a lot of air too.
For the rims, I would like to have CCW , though pricey . Otherwise , I love seeing deep dish wheels on my cars.

I love your place . We drove through the coastal bridge every weekend to have good time in your place . 
since there is no alcohol nor clubs in Saudi Arabia. We go to Bahrain or Dubai. I was in Alkhobar for three years, just the other side of the coastal bridge to Bahrain. HHHHmmmmmm.... those were the days... memories... met a lot of pretty women there from different countries... Sure a 1jz would be another good alternative. Almost similar to the 2jz though with a smaller displacement. It is a 2.5liter which was found in soarers from Japan.
