hey mate, just some questions

how much money do you think (approx) it would take to fix up the brakes and engine and rust and pretty much to get it registered....have you been given any quotes?

is it a column shift or the floor shifter? does it have buckets or a bench.

any chance of some new pics of the car, interior, engine, brakes, rust...pretty much everything!

thanks, gus.

From memory this model was 4 cylinder engine (??)

When you say 'ford single rail LSD in it' do you mean its got a Ford single rail gearbox in place of the original and an LSD ??

Edit: Google is your friend:

Definately a 4 cyl engine and could be either floor shift or column depending on seat configuration.

Thank for the quick reply's, ok ill give you as much info as i can on her.

Its the 4 cylinder model,has a 1500cc with 4 speed floor shifted gearbox. The diff is a 8 1/2 inch borg warner LSD, bit of overkill but will handle 300hp no worries.

Costs to fix her up will vary depending how much work you can do yourself.

Engine rebuild or replacement, disk brakes, fix rust and new carpet, this is the list ive made for myself to be addressed.

I was going to chuck a sr20 in her as the old 1500cc has zero balls.

The rest of the car is in good condition, hoodlining is perfect, rear shocks are new koni's, rear tires are new, paint is still in great nik except for about 5 rust spots which i think was from bad prepping of joins, have the original seats in great nik.

It does need a bit of work, brakes only need a booster fitted to make them good but disks up front would be nice, like most old princes ive seen its had ford drum brakes fitted of and old v8 thats why its got the ford lsd, 14 inch rims instead of 13inch.

Id say it could be as cheap as 5k to 10k to get her fully up and running again with about 20k needed for my planned disk brakes and sr20 powerplant with a full respray.

Ill get some more recent pics today and post them up tonight, if you are keen for a look just let me know.

Thx jason.

no one interested in a early skyline it seems!

Jason - you need to post pics of the car now, not what it did look 6 years ago. In particular of the rust and the interior condition. Based on your description and what I know about rust in cars of this age, it might be worth what your asking for it......but it could also be worth a lot less. I'm in Melbourne, so that also makes things a bit 'hard' for me in terms of assessing the car.

Sorry steve mate ive had troubles getting my hands on a camera, i got 2 photo's of it the other day but the quality is a bit average,we were in the middle of a storm :P

Ive circled the rust, its there but it isnt to bad ill get some more shots during the weekend for you. The car has been sitting for awhile but is stll in pretty good condition, seats are inside my house in perfect nik.

Hoodling is perfect ill get some photo's to show you so just be patient.

Look im keen to get rid of it and not 100% sure what its worth so i am willing to be flexiable with the price.

As of now im looking for 2k to get people a little more interested in it. For that price this car is a bargin,cost me 9k with work to do when i bought it so for 2k its a perfect oldschool project for someone that wants something that is rare as hens teeth.

Ill get some pics up of the whole car over the weekend.

Thx Jason.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
