I'm speechless...it's so beautifully done and it's hidden so well. I'm too jealous for words right now.
Nice conversion, what a improvement to the crappy Holden 6.
Well the way i see it, years ago the Holden Commodore was sold at Toyota dealers (Lexcen), when they did sell them this is how they should have done it.
Geez we are getting a few Vic members here with nice cars, it might be time to organize a Austech rev heads cruze this summer.
Your suspension setup looks drag (90/10 shocks), do you think the 3" exhaust is holding it back?
Running a high flow cat or a decat pipe? (i recon whats a cat? )
What fuel pressure reg, Sard?
Nice work there, it will be interesting to see your ET times, when are you taking it up for a Calder Fri night run?
Edit; OK just started laughing, i just noted in the first pic you have a Vapor ring LPG system and a compliance plate in the Left hand strut.....What happened after the conversion, mixer ring LPG not good enough for you? ROFPMSL

haha for the cat= no comment, im using a pro flow fuel reg, the gas was on when the v6 was in their, theirs plenty moer power in it the way it is but its a street car anything more than this is just silly, ill be heading out to heathcot on the 26th, i dont want to take it to calder yet becuase of all the cage crap they have

Awesome conversion Dsaray, very impressed. The Import 'Compact Sport' drag race scene is now totally dominated by 2JZs with 1500hp....Great engine choice. I'd much rather an inline 6 than a V6....(if you have a run a piston engine that is...hehe )

nice work , very nice. is that the Soarer engine as in the imports?
commodore body is just the right length . any work needed to the transmission tunnel?
Worried about running at Calder?
Inside secret....(that everyone knows and does)
Go there, say nothing.
Do one run, get banned.
Then wear the badge of honor. (my cars so quick they banned it)
Next time return with a cage, get ban lifted.
haha thanks for the comments, the engine out of a toyota aristo becuase the have a front sump setup, their was no mods done to the body, the onlyy mods where, engine mounts, fuel lines, power steering line, auto mounts.
Godzilla: i want to practise at heathcote then ill only mangae to get 1 run at calder, im pretty sure ill dip into the low 10's with C16, front runners, slicks, no exhaust
my hat off to you , good effort. ive seen Aristos and SC400s go quite cheap nowadays . perfect donor for a good project car.
you need to know what youre buying though , they have heaps of variants in the one production run. rear sump , mid sump , front sump , different blocks , ECUs , the works.
thanks guys, never thought there would be this much interest on cars on a sat forum
Yes, there's a few of us flying the Automotive flag...Keep it up!
Austech Summer Cruise GZ..?
Get the defect stickers ready......hhmm
nice work and choice with the 2Jz. I'm assuming it pulls like a mule in the commodore chassis?
you guys maybe, I'll just cruise on down the road in my slightly rusty old corolla (might have to put the stockies on for that)
I have to say people don't seem to be as logical these days, if someone told me they wanted to put a 2jz in a commodore 5-8 years ago i would have literally laughed at them while walking away, now people are all like "I want a Combi van with an RB26dett and I'll drive it every day" then they bloody well go and do it!
it's not a bad thing, the opposite in fact! I just never thought local boys would be capable of thing you used to only see overseas.
nice work
had to try extremely hard to talk a mate out of putting a 2J in his vr ute now i wish i hadnt lol
