if its on your car already and running ...... its pretty easy to work out if its a DET version.. she wont make full boost to around 4000rpm

laggy sons of bitches on the 20s..... but great fun i reckon.

some where steel wheeled.. in the earlier Leopards and 300zx's .... most of the later ones are ceramic rear..... 15psi would be safe amount to run without leaning too hard on the motor or the turbo if either of the 2 arent in 100% working condition.

OP6 on teh rear housing is what u gotta spot before u cough up bills for turbo.

mine cost me 150bucks....lol few months of boost .. freed it up and it stopped making shitty bearing noises..... but gives me the impression its bush not ball bearing'd

Thanks if thats the case im pretty sure its the DET version it doesn't start spooling till round 3800 full boost at 4600 got told it was because the cooler and piping i was running plus the timing is out i think. 600/400/100 i think pretty big all the same with 3'' piping on it and only 7psi. Will timing make the turb come in later

I agree Ithink some were steel wheeled. Also the Vg30det's came from the factory with forged internals. So obviously they were meant to handle more boost from the factory.

    • 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.
