Well the tranny just gave up today on the Falcon work car so dropped it off to the good guys at All States Transmissions in Edwardstown. Thought it may have needed a service and a new solenoid but found a handfull of shavings from the clutches in the pan. Without a tranny cooler and towing a caravan, I think she cooked..........$2K for a c/o tranny. :w00t:

I suppose someone out there is going to tell me that I could've saved $500 elsewhere......then you'll see a grown man cry!

id get adjustable shocks, if u get super low king springs, it will be too low, and if u get normal kings, you will either sometimes want higher or lower. if you have long term plans of track racing or track work, invest in some ISC coils, i have ISC N1's and i love them

Kinda noobish question here, but whats the difference between springs and adjustable shocks and coilovers?

springs and shocks are seperate items: the spring is fitted to the sock absorber, whereas coils are the single item. basic answer, an expert can go into details.

got the week off so started by taking of my timing belt cover and coil pack cover... painting it in gold engine enamel..... its getting minor orange peel effect :w00t: but who cares it will look better than the chipped black

    • 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.
