plus hgow legit the 100,000 ks is PLUS was it boosted before you bought it? Judging by your nick you have a 33 so more than likely you may have a ceramic wheel which from record doesnt last to long anyone, a good option before you get a GTRS is to perhaps hiflow?

My car is comfortably making 340rwhp on only 15psi, could probably go for 18psi and crack a nice 360rwhp with very minimal lag.

Per4manz in welshpool will do a nice stage 3 rebuild for around 1300- 1400 depending on extent of damage

No turbo timer? Do you thrash the f**k outta it and then turn it off while still hot?

Might be worth doing some reading up on how to look after a turbo car while you get the rebuild to save you from breaking your new setup (or more) :)

Was gonna say that you might have just blown off a sillicone hose. . . but being stock probably not . . unless a clamp wasnt done up tight . . i know when i blew off my hose the turbo has a real high pitch whistle and no boost so i thought i did my turbo too. just have a close look at your piping . . there might be a spilt in the hose or just come off, its worth checking

The ceramic turbine wheel is the likely culprit, boost the motor to over 10psi and you increase the risk of kissing it good bye.

The only other issue that may occur at the same time is getting a small amount f ceramic dust back into the motor, happens less on the Rb20/25's than the GTR's.

Ok if it's screwed? Maybe, or you might find a rebuild not far away.

i was under the impression that heat is one of the main things that can kill the ceramic exhaust wheel in the stocker, and that being close to or on the limiter wud create more heat then usual and shorten the life of it over time????

please correct me if im wrong im still a newb :banana:

    • 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.
