Nice.. A mate from work has just picked one up.

It looks like these are set to be the next VL turbo for sure.

that was pretty much the word as soon as they said they would release a turbo model... wise move ford

yeah she should do the job still got the r33 for now contemplating whether to sell it or not...basically I got this cause I wanted something with simialr go to the r33 but newer and less cop bait..this should be ok...i hope..

Well I've ahd to wait another day for her..which was disappointing but as long as everything goes well.. it'll be in ym hands sometime this arvo..then ill take her for a spin up th dandeongs..weather permitting.. if its too damp I don't wanna tempt fate since I don't know the car that well just yet..but i'll update you all as to how she goes..

for now Im gonna keep it stock..but eventually a stage 3 kit from CAPA looks liek the way to go... FMIC, Capa Flash Tuner, Injectors, fuel pump and Cold air intake for around 3k and netting around 340kw atw seems like a decent upgrade to go along with the exhuast it already has...

well guys picked her up yesterday after some stuuffina round..but I love it..few lil niggly problems I have to get fixed (but thats the beauty of your brother being a ford mechanic)....she goes hard and handles pretty good..haven't given it a real test yet but without the traction control on she sure likes to spin the wheels..1st 2nd and 3rd on dry road..I was quite impressed..

im comparisson to the r33 I think this has power through the entire range where as I noticed my 33 had a lot of grunt off the line but tended to die at the top end...not sure if ANYONE CAN BACK ME UP WITH THAT COMMENT BUT JUST FROM AN INTIAL OBSERVATION...

oops sorry hit caps and couldnt be shagged deleting and re-writing :P

    • 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.
