Ok. Thing is, its all still shimmed as it was before and nothing much has changed, just all new seals and bearings. Will it need to be re-shimmed? I was hoping just to check the teeth contact areas and if they were still ok to put it back together like that. Another thing, I didnt mark the pinion companion flange before removing it from the pinion shaft. Later i realised i should have, however it doesnt mention to do that in the manual and it normally would if at all necessary. Do you think it needs to be in a special way? Its not a master spline so there is many different ways it can be put it. What do i do?

Im getting a pair of Garrett 707160-5005 turbos this week coming! That will be exciting. This weekend i purchased a 2nd hand Trust oil cooler and filter relocator locally in Brisbane off 17SOK. Thanks to him for that. I need some help with the proper mounting of the core. Im not sure where exactly its meant to go behind the right hand duct. Ive got one friend getting me pics but if anyone else has one setup like that id appreciate a few more pics.

Turbos should have arrived by now?

I like reading the updates in this thread ;)

Hey mate!

Turbos arrived a couple of days ago. I ended up buying them off Chris Whittaker at MTQ Salibury here in Brisbane. I throughly recommend giving him a call if you need to purchase some new turbos as he was excellent to deal with and gave me by far the cheapest price! :(

I have added some new pics of the turbos including new vs old. Shows the difference quite well.

Before i fit the new turbos i will need to save up (now broke) for the stainless CES long front/dump pipes i have had my eye on :D As i will need to fit the first section to the back of the turbines before mounting them to the manifolds etc. Not much has been done to my GTR as i have been getting my daily (shitter) ready for the road. Its a 87 mitsubishi magna TN. Its hard to believe that these two cars were designed in the same era! I guess one being worth over 100 grand and the other being a run of the mill family car would have something to do with it. Since i took the GTR off the road (2+ years) i have had no car to drive so it will be nice to have a car to run around in!

the 2 mounts on the left are using existing threads on the body

this mount goes to a hole behind the radiator overflow bottle u will need a screw, nut and washers.

mounted oil cooler.

cut hole for vent.

vent siliconed and rivited in place. though self tapping screws would be better as the rivets will stretch the plastic.

i made a duct out of template plastic. when finished make sure you cut at least 1-2cm back from the oil cooler. you

dont want it rubbing on it. i also used race tape to connect and hold either end. but the basic box is held together with self tappers.

What can i say, thanks heaps for the help dude! Im worried mine wont fit there like that cuz of the twin bov's that are there? I'll go take a look in a minute.

Many thanks,

Deren

have you seen the oil cooler install by blk33 in the diy thread!

Looking good Deren.

Have you thought of getting stainless manifolds and dumps?

There are horror stories about poor quality stuff but I bought the dumps from Ebay and did a little work to get them as I wanted (some finishing with the die grinder to get the transitions smoothed nicely and dress some welds), and the manifolds I got from a forum member cheap as they needed to be skimmed flat. Almost 18 months making 320rwkw with no dramas at all. No cracks or leaks. Most problems are with one piece single manifolds warping but less chance with 2 piece for twins.

The big difference has been the extra power came easy. Same boost, 14psi, and an extra 70rwkw using highflows. The boost comes on much faster as well. Soon to retune to 18 or 20 psi to see how it will go.

    • 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.
