Thats a bummer.....hope you didn't have too many troubles buddy.

Did you eventually see what the problem was with the old one?

na the old one is still on my car

Good day eh Steve? Bet you are itching to get that new turbo fitted!!!

yeah :) cheers heaps for your help will get it fitted Tuesday evening :D, will sort out a time for me and shannon to get the fuel pump in my car also dont need it detonating on my way to melb

better leave a trader rating for you :P

ive asked this question elsewhere, but to no avail. Need some advice from anyone running an RB20DET, and using an aftermarket oil pressure gauge.

finally got my oil pressure gauge in on the 31. Did an oil change while i was at it (naughty me, 2 practices on the same oil and she's black as hell). Admittedly i changed my grades of oil (as i had some sitting around from drift school) - gone from a 10w30 to a 20w50...........wouldnt have thought that would make THAT much difference tho

started it up, pressure started at 30psi..........after about 30sec i hear a warning beeper going...........look into the cabin and see the gauge at 2psi.........turned it off, checked under the car (no leaks etc, nothing wrong). Started it again (mind u, its running EXACTLY like it always has), back at 30psi, and after about 15sec the oil pressure is dropping off back to 2psi again

im confused. is my gauge knackered (its brand new), is my sender knackered? I know it couldnt be a true reading as for that low a pressure the thing wouldnt be turning over. There aint no death rattle, nothing like that. Wont get a "legal" chance to take her for a drive on the street till at least next Monday, so wont know how it behaves under load until then.

any advice/feedback is appreciated

fk i hate it when im the office scape goat.. i organise stuff... the ppl involved don't communicate, then i wear the fall out when the customer shows up and the sales tard turns around to me all like wtf where is the techo??

sales guys sh*t dont stink, and they have no honour...

techo's are delicate genius' needing everyone to tip-toe thru the tulips. and feign not understanding things if its 1/2 way laymans terms...

and both only pay attention to procedures when it suits them.

/rant over.

i feel better now

never a truer word spoken! i'm just being a bit picky atm thats all, have blanketed the job market wif my name, had a few offers but they weren't up to par. What i am working towards is joining the defence force, the corporate environment is not for me... been thrashing myself into a resemblance of fitness :P

up hill battle but im getting there

hmmm that sounds familiar...... hence the fact i quit last week

nos only last so long and nos will still blow your engine

meh. have u seen high octane? they did an experiment on an r31 to see whether they could blow the engine with nos took a high amount of hp before it blew.......................was quite funny tho lol

i dont even keep the bottle in the car so its all ok............. im not that stupid. its for dyno and track use only.

have been told tho i can get defected for the lines *touches wood* hope it never happens tho.

Better off turbo'ing it..

Voids the insurance exactly the same but at least you may get away with it as the cars are released with turbo if your ever pulled over. + then you can use it all the time. :(

Even still a ~100hp nos is bugger all; you'll still have a stock rb25det with a pfc sit side by side if not whoop yo ass. :D

150hp you may pull away but very slowly.

We don't have a track nos can be used at. ;) One day AIR will reopen for drags.

but why should i be like every one else who has a turbo'ed car? honestly what ever happened to uniqueness??? i dont want to be like every else.

and im sure if i ever take on a stock GTT i would be able to keep up i too have a power fc. i have many plans for my car, and none of them include a turbo.

and what about mallala?

    • 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.
