Guys...

the front end of my car has knackered itself.

It's in Flemington at the moment and the guy reckons it's really bad and he has to freight the parts to Sydney to the companies other workshop and then... the 'might' be able to fix it but won't know till it get's up there.

Can anyone recommend a place (western side prefered)... or is there someone here that knows what they are doing to help me out?

He said the earliest would be end of next week for my car and he'll charge me while the car is sitting on his hoist :(

So if someone can help it would be much appreciated!

it will be worth a few slabs at the least.

Now that is rough! I'd already be taking it somewhere else. Get it towed - like megs said its not too expensive. I had to do it once I think it was like $60 for 15km or something.

Suspension or steering problem ?

do you know what has given up? like which part(s)?

Something to do with the sleeve inside the strut leg has gone... and the shocker bolts into the bottom of it. Hence the terrible noise it gives out

make sense? NFI !!

Basically the didn't come standard like that he reckons and that it was done to turn it into a coilover ?!?

Does that help anyone?

yep...what I *think* has happened...

they have used a threaded sleeve onto stock strut...some people

hold up the sleeve by welding it onto the strut, while others will cut a groove around the strut and put some kinda clip to hold up the sleeve, sounds like your bolt has allowed the sleeve to slide all the way down???

Just a guess....

hhmmm... my car doesn't have one of those 'packages'...

being 15 years old and what have you nobody knows....

so i'm just gonna get GT to send them to sydney and hope like crazy the can repair what i have... if not... should be interesting what happens!

so i'm getting the bushes done also, no point not while it's in pieces

    • 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.
