Instal finished, drove it to the workshop yesterday to pull the clutch out (it was heavily punished) its and packed ready for its trip to Jim Berry for a reco. Should have it back in and down at Croydon's this coming Saturday.

here are my goods paul

very nice

John, the inside flange of the turbine housing may need the coating removed (we did ours with a razor blade) so they assemble correctly. Its the inside surface where the core meets the turbine. Any probs or questions mate give me a pm.

"We" as in Ben! did it.

ha ha

Yes Ben you had a little scrape i must admit....but "all" of it needed removing. Thanks for your input.

So yes..."WE"...."Ben and I" removed it.

Looking good! good luck with the 9! i'm glad to see people pushing their gtr's

hope it all goes well.

and what kinda of drop in inlet temps should you be expecting with all the coatings done?

might be worth a shot for my setup.

and do you happen to run a vented hood?

Thanks Mashrock for the support.

The real gain for the coating is on the turbine side holding the heat in, this aids in gas velocity and flow. The gains on the inlet (we have not done this side of the system before) are yet to be seen. But we use a very accurate Carel temp. meter to monitor plenunm temps, so the real world gains will be seen after full load tuning and full noise passes are completed. I must admit i only really got the inlet side done to tidy up the pipework and Rob was giving me a bit of a discount to cover the additional cost.

I dont run a vented hood as the temps during a run do not warrant it, Mark Jacobsen weighed his and its heavier than a stocker.

ahh i see,

yeah i guess your only really having the car on for no more than a minute for the time you really need to make the numbers,

i'm cutting a big hole in my hood very soon and throwing in a massive vent moulded off kris's mines gtr. but thats for circuit, a friend saw atleast 15-25 degrees less engine bay temp. so it seems like it would be worth it.

Thanks Mashrock for the support.

I can understand the need for an accurate inlet temp sensor. After my upgrade I was horified to see that my inlet temps (showing on the PFC) were consistantly around 25C higher than ambient (50C on a 25C day). What I did notice, however, is that the IC outlet was cold/ambient to touch and that the inlet temperature readings on the PFC hardly varied.

In reality I suspect that what I'm really measuring is the temperature of the plenum wall (nicely heated by the engine radiant heat) rather than the intercooled air passing throuh it.

Where do you place the aftermarket inlet temp probe?

    • 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.
