Attn scandy;

How much was your turbo rebuild and hiflo and where did you get it done again? Looking at buying some N1's that are in need of rebuild cheap and sussing my options if its even worth buyin haha

your best (cheapest) bet is to find a pair of blown ceramics and sending them over to Antimatter in melb and get them rebuilt. Hes doing a pair for me at the moment (which i need to get off my arse and pay him the rest of the cash i owe him)

best thing is, if its in the original gtr turbo housing, regency wont know any difference

-D

i was reminded this evening why i rarely drive the s14 to work. people stopping dead in front of me at 80km/h in a merging lane when they have more than ample room to merge, ive had to jump on the skids because i dont have the room to skirt around him, and the guy behind me has had to spear off the side of the road, and the guy in front had the nerve to jump out of his shitbox and abuse me for 'not knowing how to drive.'

f**k i hate shit people.

n1's are bb yeah? rebuild kit is $1300 or something for a bb. dunno. could be wrong.

got it done through hypergear (check on ns.com), standard rebuild was $400, highflow was $800.

got thru it alright, will be ideal with a snorkel later down the track. had a steep old drop off on one side as you go in............got thru it easily, but dont trust my door seals that much to do it more than once

got an irritating as all f**k knock in the front left corner on right hand turns and hard lefts.

rather concerning when youre doing the uh... speed limit through the hills and you hear that.

any suggestions as to what it could be?

^ Hey Scandy.

It could be your wheels hitting the struts? or wheel guard... why that side? maybe it could be due you Adelaide poor camber roads :P

or... you hit the corner hard?

or a leaky strut?

hope that helps....

ps; SwineFlu sucks... a whole week off isnt as good as it seems, you sleep all the time and just plain bored!

Edited by AXTX

no leaky strut, checked that. plenty of wheel-sturt clearance, enough wheel-guard clearance for it to not be that (only scrapes on hard bumps), so im at somewhat of a loss. matty suggested it could be ball joints. seems likely. i reckon theyre oem...

You can buy brand new -5's for less than that.

Coils with camber tops? Not the spherical bearing in the top rattling? I had that with a set of coil's in my car drove me mad till i pulled them out when i sold them and found out what it was...spewing

How much man? I will have a daily soon so I'll just rip my turbos off and send them away if the price is good?

PM me if you dont want it on the forum.

You'll have to PM him for a quote for his labour and parts as Im not sure what the prices are like atm, and if you want to buy a pair of turbos I'll have my stockers for sale after the new ones are fitted, but we're talking a couple months here

-D

turns out the engine i bought off here has a shagged cylinder and bent valves -.-

i am so happy about this

jeez man ur run of bad luck just keeps getting worse

can you fix the cyl with a bigger diameter bore ? could be good excuse for 2.8lt pistons ? ;\

    • 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.
