Oracles (Oracles) 2009-09-17 22:02:00 +0600 #25

Correct, Car is in Los Angeles California.

Ofcourse you can, I just came back from Pakistan and there were atleast 4 MarkII's for sale in Karachi and Islamabad.

None were 2 door coupe.

Thanks everyone for kind comments

This is really an amazing effort!!! WEll DONE!!!

i love MarkIIs.. have one for the last 11years... a bit difficult to maintain..

i am also planning to swap it with some good patrol engine, current have 3C Turbo (diesel) in it...

i wish to plant 2zj but will be very difficult for me to manage it, what other (a bit smaller engine) u suggest? plus please post some details of the differential and steering box u installed in it...

one more request, do tell me the address of the shop where bought its parts?

Best Regards

its 1973...

hello mr oracles
i have a 74 mark 2 as well same color LHD.........i just swapped a 1jz-ge in it and want your valueable suggestions in this regard........i was very impressed by your work excellent work bro................i posted a topic about the exhaust system..........but over all will be highly obliged if u can have some valueable suggestions.

Oracles (Oracles) 2009-09-22 19:38:00 +0600 #32

I am willing to help as much as I can but I am no expert.

I too love MarkII's and have 2 of them... Thanks for appreciating my car

Oracles (Oracles) 2009-09-23 00:35:00 +0600 #33

Thinking about picking up these for my car, will paint the center with high gloss silver or black.

They are 16x8.5 for rare and 16x7.5 front

What do you guys think?

Carsrus (Carsrus) 2009-09-23 01:12:00 +0600 #34

I am amazed by your car. I didn't believe it was a Pakistani car. Not even a slight hint of rice. Absolutely stunning, amazing, and dignified. If there was an award for best car in Pakistan, I'd have to give it to you.

The orange one looks like it was modified in Japan. The green one could use some work, the rims are more meant for trucks/SUVs.

Otherwise, A+ work.

zxmco125 2009-09-23 01:13:00 +0600 #35

Masha Allah. very nicely done. like it. One of my Pakwheels friend also owned 1 in dark green color. Well you got the 2jz under the hood. Rims are nice lox like late 90s Chevorlet Caprice. you also got directional wheels. keep it up.

Oracles (Oracles) 2009-09-23 03:43:00 +0600 #36

Well Rims are from 60's/70's but you are right they are from US cars.

the only reason I want these is because they are wide and in 16's and there is lot of space to be filled in my car. As you all know there is no suchthing as 60's/70's JDM rims.

I have few JDM sets with they are 13's,14's and 15's. I might use SSRIII's but they are 15/7.5 all around. I plan on using airbags for rare and front suspension and would need something wider.

Thank you very much of kind words.

@oracles
ok lemme be specific
first of all tell me the piping size and exhaust size for the engine.........secondly what abt the real differential.....u mentioned that u used supras defferential........but i guess i wont find it here that easily...is there any other replacement????plus what changes did u made in the rear suspension?????bushes spring and shocks???? i mean how did u get the traction...coz my cars lacks this thing......

Oracles (Oracles) 2009-09-23 20:24:00 +0600 #38

Rizwan,

I do not have the exhaust installed on the car yet because I am at that stage yet, but it will be 3 inch straight back pipe. I was lucky enough to find a Supra rear end but it took little
Work to make it fit on the car as you can see from the pictures then I had pumpkin re-geared to match 2JZ-GTE.

As for as finding something in Pakistan goes.
try looking for Toyota highlux, land cruiser.
I am planning on using airbags instead of springs
but I am still debating that part

Good Luck

@ Oracle

Really nice and classic rims u have selected for ur classic cars, will look great..but ihave noticed that there are 5 holes for bolts, while mark2 have 4 bolts..

Oracles (Oracles) 2009-09-24 23:25:00 +0600 #40

ansarghani, Yes and I am going to use 1 inch wheel adopters. But I have not given up on finding another set

of 16's. I really want to stay away from any 80's,90's wheels. I like my rice with daal not with cars:P
