Default 1UZ Mk2 Sierra 3 Door

Thought Id share our first project to be completed. It's a German Mk2 3 door Sierra which has been converted to right hand drive.

The 1uz fits in really nice and we had our first trip our to Brands last week.

That's cool! I used to work with a guy that had that engine in a 200SX. Even with a complete standard engine, it was pretty brutal, seemed to have so much low down grunt.

That's very cool!!


Do the engine and gearbox fit without any modifications to the shell? And which version of the 1UZ is it that you are using? I wouldn't mind replacing the 2.9 24v in my sapph for a N/A one with more grunt. So all info on this is much appreciated.
