I've heard if you type the VIN into fast, and the car is an autech model, a dialog box displays "This is an autech model"

I've seen the guys talk about it when they "fast" their autech stagea's and S15's

I can check your VIN for you if you want?

Can I see a photo of your 280km/hr dash? I haven't seen one for a cefiro before

The engine has a "Tuned by autech" badge on the top of the inlet manifold (just behind the throttle body), where a normal RB20 has the ECCS badge.

I would also guess that a genuine autech model would have plastic skirts and bumpers as opposed to fibreglass copies.

Ah well mine is probably not an Autech model, the engine isnt the original one though, was changed in japan to an RB20DET, did the Autech models come out with a RB20DE? Vin is A31-007166

here is a pic of the dash, never seen one in another ceffy before, and a pic of the car

Yea i didnt think it would be an Autech ceffy, one could only hope though :P Still strange about the dash however, anyone else seen a 280km/ph one before?

Thanks for the comments guys, i hate blowing my own horn so to speak but its still in really good condition, im not sure about the 280 dash, the car came with it from japan, i actually though i broke it the other day but it turned out to be the speedo cable *phew*. I had the vented guards put on a few years ago (paid $300 for them from viva garage/e-bay) but i dont really like them as they dont sit as perfect as the stocky ones did (anyone want to buy my vented ones lol).

It's an Autech series 1 rear bumper and side skirts, and series 2 front bumper.

I've seen many cefiros with autech kits but they were all fibreglass, unlike the R32skylines M-spec kit, there were that many available I don't think anyone would bother making a fibreglass copy when they can source a genuine plastic kit.

      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

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      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.
