Wayde's 1JZ Holden VR Commodore Ute

Wayde's 1JZ Holden VR Commodore Ute

Introducing my 570rwhp 1JZ GTE VVTI swapped Holden VR Commodore ute. Originally a column shift auto v6 that I purchased for my first car when I was 16. 5 years ago I decided I wanted to build a fun, unique street car that I can also take to the track to drift. The 1JZ is backed by a T56, and a built S13 rear end with airlift performance rear airbags and BC front coilovers. It’s not perfect, but I’m proud to say I’ve built 90% of this car by myself as a first timer.
