damn i am keen but i have already made plans is there one on next week?

would be good to get it organised and have a few more lines up there together.

I would really like to have a few runs before i do my cam gears and clutch

Test 'N Tune is on tonight.. I'm headin out for the first time.

No reason stopping me tonight. Wheather so far is holding up.

so we can expect you to update you sig from "Willowbank Quarter Mile: Yet to be done."

to "Willowbank Quarter Mile: 9 secs" tomorrow hey :P

I suggest you do your clutch before you go, just ask Col-GTSX how badly it sucks.

Standard Clutch and 200rwkw = Fryed clutch and a 24 second pass at 50mph... :laugh:

Exedy Custom and 240rwkw = 12.4@111mph (street tyres)

Yeah i actually burnt my clutch during the burnout (2nd gear burnout). When i left the line the car went no where and the revs went through the roof. I ended up droping it into 2nd and crawling away and i go up to about 80kph i think as my top speed on that run... ;)

My traction and suspension was absolutely shit.

was getting rear end bumping on take off, to i ended up takin off a bit slow till i hit 5,000rpm and then hit 2nd gear and just took off.

1st one i didnt do my gear changes all to well

2nd one i did them alot better.

low mph were cause of bad traction (shit tyres & shit stock suspension).

BZZZT Wrong. With your setup you should have a great big whack of top end regardless of wheelspin off the line.

With a 2.6 60' my old 180 would still pull 111mph and smash into the 12's.

Stock suspension is doing you a favour over drift-spec coilovers so you can't blame that either.

I'd be looking at how you launch and when you change gear. Either that or you don't have the power you should - which is what your MPH tells us.

was it fairly busy? would of hoped to get more than 2 runs

hmmm i have taken on board everyones views on the clutch thing

Im surprised about your time as your car seemed fairly quick the other night

ohh well good work trying and not just being a talker!

and remember you can always improve!

The tyres are shit. I'm actually due for new ones. Plus the tyres on the rear are absolutely shit anyway, shouldnt even be using them on the quarter mile or qld raceway.

With the suspension. If i allow wheel spin, the rear end is just jumpin up and down non-stop till i take my foot off the accelorator and then re-gain traction and then take off a bit smoother.

After talkin to dan. Pineapple bushes will help this but there could be other factors involved causing the rear end to jump up and down such as the diff or suspension.

The plan right now is - replace suspension with ISC coilovers (they are new on the market and little has been said, so i'd be happy to give these guys a go and see what happens).

Next, after that is a new turbo with external wastegate and high mount manifold.

With the mods i've done already, the car should be putting out around 250kws. I'm only getting 215kw's and when on the dyno, something is restricting us back which we dont know.

Last tune, we started off and got 296hp and after several times of playing around with the mapping on the powerfc, we kept loosing 1 or 2 hp even though we Matt Spry was properly tunning it giving it more in some areas of the injector maping, etc.

Guess one thing I should be finding out is if there is any leaks anywhere and start doing some testing on the engine (compression, etc). Alot I think needs to be done before I look at the turbo upgrade though.

So your saying that you had axel tramp? Its a bitch aint it? getting off the mark was my hardest part as the other cars were flogging me there even though I gained on them up the strip, I put it down to practice and setup and working out the right tecnique. 13.7 btw 3 times.

    • 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.
