I already have the NRG with a Nardi Chrome/woodgrain wheel but doesnt exactly go with the new theme so ordered the black/suede

Should make around the same as the boosted 1JZ I'm thinking. Just happy to get it running with the right/quality parts for now. Many of which I can re-use when I build a boost motor for big power after I buy a house
