problem with the V8 nissan, zero parts here, with the lexus you can go to the agents and buy anything from them and they are not that expensive. also zero aftermarket parts for the nissan v8,
Do the agents sell lexus V8 parts ? Was it fitted to any S.A. toyota's ? Heard the sell 2JZ parts.
yes, the V8 were used in the Lexus LS400 LS430(3UZfe).
The 2JZGE were also used in the lexus, that's why some of the parts are available from them.

Toyota dealerships, can bring in any part for the also long as its not older than 15 years, and you have the part number, best thing about toyota engines is the parts are really cheap

hey guys, due to a recent financial shortage, my previous car never got sold for the price i wanted, i cant go through with the V8 conversion, its just goin to end up way out of my budget, but thanks to everyone for their help, really appreciated it, however i am going to be going with my original SR20DET swop because i have the budget for that, sure i wont be dissapointed with it. cheers
guaranteed. Just one thing. when you buy a import motor do yourself a favor and change the bearings, rings and all gaskets. That of course if you are not going all the way. I personally had 4 SR powered cars and my S14 was the first one that gave up. that said it had 180000km on it when I got it and had a crappy airfilter, crappy T3/T4 and top mount manifold and was very abused and never properly retuned for the 0.8 boost. So if your are going to mod it - DO IT RIGHT - it is the only time SRs give up when guys fiddle for cheap thrills. 😉
