Suspension wise i would be clueless as well. But as they are commonly used for a bit of drift both in the US and in Japan you should be able to find a reasonable amount of info, particularly for the front end.

Why webers?

Suspension wise I am not to sure... More research will need to be done! 

use custom compact weld on sleeves.

replacement rear half should be arriving at the shop next week. rebuild imminent. tempted to chuck an SR in it for shits n giggles :P

Looks like Trevor Voss' old car, was a nasty wack at Dandenong Rd corner at Sandown...

Cut & shut FTW!! :teehee:

just cut the fkn thing off and put a long rear on it....its stuffed you dont need no underbody measurement for that :teehee:

well we've bought a long rear and waiting for it to get to the shop. altho I'm hoping the driver side rear quarter is salvageable.

Why webers?

Well its that or dellorto's or scoring a 20V on the cheap...

My reasoning seems to be based around nostalgia and noise more than anything - call me indulgent :teehee: .

In terms of size, my carb tuner recommended 40's if its a daily and 45's if its seeing race and high rpm use. Expected outcome will be doughy down low (he said from 2500 rpm and below) but above that it should be peachy with excellent high RPM response.

He seems to believe with the cams I am looking at it will all come together nicely.

Just an idea of what they sound like with carbs for those who don't know:

except benms lone nascup car which of course was US built or at least designed.

Designed and built in USA more than 10yrs ago (with minor updates done to chassis and new shell designs over the past 10yrs).

I'd much much rather be in an accident or rollover in my nascup (baby grand mmra) car than in the current Aussie Racing Cars due to the chassis/cage design. But then, i'd much much rather own an Aussie Racing Car than my Nascup car but not for the extra $20k purchase price.

I think the suspension plans for my car are thrown out the window.

I am kind of sticking to improved production guidelines because if I ever got serious thats the path I would take. It seems that I am unable to change the rear suspension to a type other than stock apart from the obvious springs / shocks and so on.

Exerpt from rules:

9. SUSPENSION AND STERING

9.1 Springs: Springs are free provided that the type and location are unchanged (by type is meant: coil, torsion bar,

leaf etc.)

Am I correct in thinking that I would be unable to change to weld in coilovers?

Weld in coilover suspension for the rear. Essentially changes strut suspension to coilovers. Erm its easier for me to link the product:

KE70's have a five link rear end stock.

So changed the springs to 6kg - I had harder springs in for a little while but I found it made the rear even MORE tail happy when I just want something fairly neutral with perhaps a touch of oversteer. New adjustable shocks. New canard bar. New heavy duty Whiteline sway bar and strut bar coming. Lots of polyeurethane bushings. Also scored some free power - removed everything in the boot, rear seats, some sound deadener and most of the centre console. Enough to be an advantage but no so much that I would be uncomfortable as I am driving it on the street a lot of the time still.

Hell it weighs 940 kilos stock (or there abouts) anyhow :thumbsup:

repost all the pics of your car dane! forum lost our posts. :D

anyway, carrying on from our now invisible conversation I went out and got one of those green tomei 3 point braces for the S13. I'm not impulsive :)

was not too bad on price, and will be here today. schweet.

haha! awesome work, i paid nearly $300 (incl ems) and had to wait a month for one to come up on yahoo jp, you were very quick!

i actually noticed a positive difference in the front end "feel" of the car when i swapped out the old cusco and installed the tomei.

    • 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.
