Have never seen one in this country, but the front grille and headlights often turn up on Yahoo Auctions ~ Japan, but they want a bomb for them as anything R30 is now cult status in Japan. An HR30 coupe like Harry's old car used to sell at auction for about 150000 yen, but today your lucky to get anything reasonable for about 500000 yen.

if someone was after a true one of a kind (in australia) then this would be it....

harldy anyone out there actually knows what this is (or recognise it!)

if i was fully loaded, i would bring it over, take out all the running gear and rebuild it all and then put it in a shed, then drop a nice Rb30, CA18det, RB20det.... L28et whatever the budget desires

one day (like 10 years) this car with all the origional gear in it would be worth SHITLOADS

(so make it last till then, and put the z18 thing back in etc...)

yeh i was lookin at the black thing!...SHINY!!!

there are alot of R30 available for minimal cost, but hardly any are good enough for compliance, and thats where the money is for the importers!

i do know of an importer with 15 DR30s, one with a FJ24det....... but thats his personal one!

I would kill to have an FJ24... and a turbo conversion aswell??? f**k im jealous that engine would be worth a fair fortune.

I did hear DR30's are easier to come by then R32s these days in Japan... when you see pictures of the car yards over there full of DR30's I can see why.

How come most arn't good enough for compliance??? they are in shitbox condition? or to do with other things?

mostly because they are 20+ years old now and most are in fare condition, you could import one your self but to import places only the good condition examples will make them profit $$$....

an FJ24 alone is a very sort after engine and worth a mint to any nissan fan, could be worth more than most of our cars.

i remembe reading an artical about the fj24 around 10 years ago and they were very rare then...

    • 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.
