what type of 2jz? Well it all depends on which one you want. I went with the VVT-i because I like what people were doing with it. It's the most improved 2jz, I wanted the VVT-i advances. Either 2jz vvti or not make good power even the NA engines. Guys have been making great power with NA 2j's or a combination of 1.5jz's or any other strand. So the real question is what are planning for the car, since you have a GS400 you might have to do a little bit more since your car has a V8. Aside from all that, work with a local tuner to get an idea of cost if you plan on running a lot of power or just a little bit above stock 2j power. I hope that answers your question.

I finally got a proper render of how I want the car to look. There is a theme to the build due to loosing a very special person in my life. My aunt, one of my mothers older sisters. She was a socond mother to me, always pushed me to be better and do better. So as my IG post states.
To my Family, Friends, and Sponsors I am happy to announce that this final render done by Heroprintsnz is the one that will be used for the 507 GARAGE Time Attack GS300 dedicated to honor my late aunt Sara Shorey who was a second mother to me, she was 52 when she passed. So whenever I can, I will run #52. - Cancer Awareness, Boost for a Cure Race Car. Shop helping me make this happen PatienceMetalFab.

So apparently Photobucket wants to charge people $39.99 a month or $399.99 annually to allow the to post their images to third party site like these. Well now I wont be using their stuff. Now I use Imgur. Lets see how long it is until Imgur does the same thing. I have had Photobucket for ever, well not anymore.
