Why make it a tow car?! I'll swap you my Ford Ute when it's done and you will have a tow car and I'll have me a cool drufter
Being done correct. Awesome tow car.

Timing belt / water pump done.. Engine is now ready to go into the bay next weekend....
1jz are a prick of a belt to do and the water pump is pretty hard to get at.
epic! im about 3/4 the way through a VVTi 1j swap into my MX83, mines JZX100 version though. Been a bit of a headache to date but nothing too major, biggest bummer is not having all of the bolt in bits that a JZX81 halfcut would have, like power steering setup etc
Pirtek can make up a hose to suit mx83 rack, and 1jz pump. I'm getting mine made next week so if you want a second one done let me know.
If you need the ecu plugs I also have jzx100 ones as that was what I thought I was buying.
i ended up getting my hands on a jzx81 HP line and hard return section that goes back under the engine, just had custom end put on to match rack, all up including return pipes etc the power steering owes me a whisker over $300... spewing.. and hopefully i can get away with not modding the pump side cos jzx81 has flare type fitting not banjo like the jzx100 pump. Im gunna see if it runs fine without the idle up sensor in the stock jzx100 line.
By plugs do you mean you have plugs to match ecu? i got some body loom plugs with tails that came with my gear so should be sweet.
Looking good man!
Picked up an mx83 myself about a month ago and just finished manual conversion on the weekend.
Will definatly be following this
Not really, other than I've made the wiring loom for it, quite a bit had to be modified inside the cabin, so it isn't quite a plug / play loom to swap into another mx83.
A couple of things that made me think where...
* Oil pressure Switch / Alternator charge light is now an ecu pin
* no temp gauge for the dash provisioned ( added a bit in the radiator hose with the original 7m sender)
* Neutral start switch (inhibitor) earths instead of the traditional 12v in / 12v out, had to swap the starter relay to be triggered off earth...
* Multiplex network stuff is annoying, but can be ignored.
* Speedo pin on the ecu is an output pin
* 5v relay had to be made for the fuel pump control instead of traditional earth the FOC
* Mrelay pin on the ecu
- Accessory power into the ecu, mrelay out from it, and from the main relay B+ is provided back to the ecu.
* ECTS-I - Throttle body needs constant power
It would have been in yesterday, but i ordered the wrong mounts... Have them coming from qld now and should have them by Wednesday.
The To Do list is
* Install engine
* Cooler piping
* Exhaust
* Tailshaft
* Power steering hoses
* Get gooseneck for tow bar*
* Skids at raleigh *
* Swap new rims *
This post is more for my own reference than anyone else, but thanks for asking...

this wiring is making my head hurt!
can't you just connect the "make load noises" wire and do skids?
