My New Car Build Thread! A little crazier than the last..
In an effort to do something fun and fresh we thought long and hard to figure out something that would meet all of our needs and catch peoples attaention at shows.
Being a big fan a VIP stuff we decided to go that route this time, with a small twist... haha The car is an Infiniti Q45, that will be powered by a single turbo 2JZ-GTE. The goal is to build a VIP car that isn't the typical "drop and wheels" deal with has become the norm among US VIP cars.
The plans are the following: 2JZ swap, 67mm turbo, Custom Air Suspension, Radisued Fenders with custom flares, Aimgain Euro Edition Aero, Work Euroline SL's etc.
Here's an idea on what we'll be doing with the fenders:
So enjoy the build thread. I apologize again for the picture quality....
Getting ready to pull the factory engine:
Engine Removed, and ABS Removed:
Pretty much everything removed..lol
Prep'd for paint, just needs taping. The bay will be sprayed BMW Carbon Black:
Picked up a nice 2JZ from the guys at JSpecAuto
Staying true to VIP form we'll be keeping the auto trans:
These guys however will be coming off:
Intake manifold and valve covers will be getting PC'd flat black, while the coil cover will be painted BMW Carbon Black
Turbo test fit:
Lower Intake Manifold back from PC:
Cleaned the head up while the IM was off:
We will be using a Tial wastegate and BOV for this build:
More to come tomorrow, we'll be getting the car back from the painter tomorrow afternoon.
Thanks for checking it out guys!

Excellent!
It's like you have stash of 2JZs under your bed or something.

Haha I wish!!
Thanks for the compliments guys
We would like to have this car running by the first week in Jan. It's going to be super tight getting the body work finished in time for our March deadline as the Aero kit hasn't arrived yet.

Bleh...I hate VIP cars so much. At least this one will have something decent about it (engine setup).
