Be very, very cautious using glass grit outside of a closed container.
Ita about as dangerous as aspestos.
Due to Fibres DJ?
If you wanted to use garnet, get a big tarp and do your blasting on that, that is what others have done and usually get a few goes out of each lot.
Saves money and mess, plus I wouldn't use the glass after what Bomber pointed out.

ok so an update on the 1jz into lc well very very slow atm just have no time to get anything done.. This is due to having a 10month taking up every afternoon and most weekends.
So to help the process I have found a bloke close by that wil do the full install of the 1j with custom engine mounts, custom front sump and custom gearbox mount to also drop the streering rack lower to get motor to still flat and low
so hope to send it in once I get back from holiday YAY

What put you off the 1jz? Firewall trimming to clear head/rocker cover?
Posted 15 December 2015 - 09:18 AM
yeah RB engine will be easier due to the fact of hot side not being on streering colum side and they are a lower motor to I believe
But cost for a RB26 is a lot more then 1JZ

I was wanting to put a vx super charged motor in it to keep it all holden but the LA laws put a quick stop to that idea
Then my next plan was RB just due to Nissan holden rel back in the VL days
Not to mention every frOckwit and his dog has a rb in an early Holden.

Frankenstein Rb30 block with Rb25 topend..far cheaper to build it first than go Rb26,blow up,rebuild....
Jz engines seem nicer to drive on street more torque down low.
Dude down here did vx supercharged v6 into lj,ugly ass engine bay & sounds like makita drill when boots in...going whipple soon.
Rules out xr6 turbo conversion lol

Ok ive seen the NA 3.8 in LC LJ .. and there is a guy up here has done a turbo one in a TA
But the 1J or 2J are they way to go.

OK so with no time of late a have found a guy to do my install.
First part was to lower the streering rack so the motor will sit nice and low. With this part done now, I can "if I get my ass into gear get K Frame painted and get new bushes for it ready to be sent back for the engine mounts and gear box mounts and custom sump.

Sure am mate just have had no time at the moment to get anything done.
The guy is a local to me in Brisbane he has done a 2J to his 2dr LJ so he is making my engine mount and gearbox cross member and new sump.

Well I sold the 1JZ and all the stuff that goes with it and now just dropping the 161 back and putting the LH disc brake on the front and be done. I have had the car now 10 years plus and ive never driven it, will be another 10 before I get time and funds to complete the 1 jz build
