My mouth started watering when I spotted this amazing JZA63 Carina GTTR buildup:

The Carina was originally a TA63 GTTR model, so attaching the 2JZ engine to the W55 instead of the 3T was easy.

The car is AE86 front struts converted to fit the 8 way adjustable AE92 HTS shocks and a R33 4 pot brake conversion has been done as well. Only a few bushings have been replaced by its polyurethane counterparts, but at the front it features 12k Swift springs and 8k TBS springs at the rear. So it should be stiff as a board.

All around the car is featuring Work Meisters in 17 inch diameter and 9J wide! To fit those rims the fenders had to be extended at the rear. 205/40 tires are lightly stretched over these Meisters.

The interior of the Carina is stripped and replaced with a set of Recaro seats and a roll cage has been fitted.

Of course the engine has been modified as well: NA 2JZ was taken from a JZS140 Crown with TRD cams, ITBs, a custom built oilpan and a special purpose muffler. In other words: very powerful! The owner even switched the W55 to a W58 gearbox to handle all that power!

In other words: this JZA63 Carina is a beast which I’d certainly would love to tame! ;)
