unedited pics of what??
im fitting the body kit, panels and bonnet this weekend, then monday should see it back with my mechanic for a final going over before engineering... then a dyno run - should pull 350 - 400rwkw ... then some paint.
as for RB20/25/26, a stock 1J will rape either of them and mod for mod the RB's will blow up well before the 1J even breaks a sweat.

i did, the link was in the second post... but just for u, i'll put it in the 1st and again here below and delete the 2nd... and when the car comes back from getting a wheel alignment this arvo, i'll take more pics and add to the thread...
as for the engine mounts.. imagine ur standard S13 engine crossmember mounts... all i did was cut about 1/2 an inch off, straight across the top to lower the engine a little - welded a plate across and drilled a hole for the bolt to go thru... so basically, it looks the same as a standard S13 Xmember, just a little lower...

yeah, as much as i love the 1JZ now, back when the car was an SR, it more than scared the pants off me and made a mockery of engines twice its size.
my friend and i r also in the midst of planning a VQ conversion for his convertible S13. . . . .
