thanks for the comments, yea i no i could have had a r34 gtr and a half, but once i start on something i like it done properly next step is to run the engine in and i am hoping to get in the 9 sec bracket if it hooks up. and one word of advice dont try and do a six port direct injection it works out way to expensive for what its worth , i had to put the nossles under the plenium i did want them on top but the fuel rail is in the way....well i did drive it back from the workshop and its f**kn loud it will be good to go on a cruise so if anyones keen pm me we can work out a date to meet up....

Fair enough. As long as you love it, that's all that matters.

I'm envious of someone who loves their car that much. I can't settle on which car to have - I want em all!

:P

well it has been 7 months but i have finally finished my engine bay and drive gear. now she has a 6 speed trust dog box, 4'' dump pipe straight through,single piece tail shaft, new suspension as you can see i ts a little low at the moment , nitros set up is complete, all thats left is a paint job....

Fark me, its been a while since we met up to pick up those seats off ya. And wow... car looks hot as. Is this the same one that was in your driveway when we met up?

Now tell all the nice people how much a setup like this costs, and about the R34 GT-R you could have had for the same money if not cheaper.

Sorry buddy, but I've crunched the numbers, and nice as it is, unless you're selling drugs, it ain't worth it.

LOL...say the same thing about a guys girlfriend and you would get a fat lip :P

My thinking, The Golden rule...."Its his gold, so he makes the rules"

Pretty schmick i say, lets see a manual GTST pull a 9, all the best with it

hey mate awesome looking motor/bay, just a couple of questions.

are the radiator top brackets chromed? and is the power steering pump chromed or polished ally (though im 99% sure they are only steel)? and rocker covers polished or chromed?

so how much is your braided line and fittings bill i wonder :P mines nearly 1200 bucks and mines no where as much line as yours.

cheers mate and all the best with it :D good to see some rb25s highly modified for a change ;)

so does all that shiny shit in the bay make it go faster?

give the the guy some credit, and its nice to see decent engine bays in skylines as 99% of em look like plain jane shit, or a smarties packet of painted bits.

shiny bits rule, and are well worth it unless u want it to look like a shitta :lol:

i'll give him credit for having too much money to spend on a car! :D

that, sir, is the main object of certain people's builds. mine, in particular.

id much rather the show/profesional look that the backyard painted bits style with rubber hoses and shitty clamps everywhere. i goto local car shows and peoples cars who are entered have some of the most disgraceful engine bays ive ever seen, and they shouldnt even be allowed to open em unless they are clean/neat. :P

each to their own ;)

yea i stripped the power steer pump right down and got every bit cromed along with the altinater cam covers pulleys harmonic balancer engine mounts and brackets , waterpump outlet and with all the bolts i got them done in gold crome just to set it off . with the crome brading it was well ova 3k with the fittings every line is braded right down to the boost line and line to the blow of valve. i even did my fuel lines also the brake lines are braid. it was very time consuming but i reckon it looks neater in the end and beats painting shit that flakes off in a week. :P

    • 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
    • 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)?
    • 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.
    • 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.
