Well I posted in this thread before but the site seems to be acting funky...

I just did mine, most of which I performed myself. I changed all oils including gearbox, engine and diff. Also changed the spark plugs and replaced both oil and fuel filters. As for the rest like timing belts and water pumps I left the mechanics to do. It ended up costing me I think about $400 so I saved a bit of money doing it myself and learnt a bit in the long run.

Well, there's no better place to start then is there? Read the tutorials on SAU, ask questions and then go for it! Trust me it's not that hard and it is a very rewarding experience knowing that you have done it yourself. Hell, I'll even help you out if you are located in Adelaide

Buy the idler and tensioner bearings from Bearing Industries (search for NSK bearings will find their details) to get cheap bearings.

Then goto repco or something and get a non-genuine VL waterpump.

Should cost less than whatever the mechanic will want to put on there and work just as well.

This has been covered before in other posts but if anyone missed it, CBC (consolidated Bearing company) do a timing belt kit for R33's. Has the Gates Racing belt and tensioner/idler assemblies - ready to bolt on and they run NSK bearings. Costs about 315.00

When you do this id be doing waterpump/thermostat as well.

    • 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.
