Both pretty similar in spec from the looks of things, as in both have exhaust, 'cooler and some type of ecu and some suspension mods.

So not much in it as far as difference in mods.

Niether apear to be seriously worked on.

Go drive them both, and get both inspected by a mechanic you trust, then make a descision.

All we can do is say if the mods are good or not. And its never a good idea to pick one car over another just because it has more modifications. Compare the overall cars, condition of paint, interior, engine health, ride quality, gearbox etc, then make ur choice.

On appearances alone though i'd lean towards the Black one

As much as I dont like it..

My 2cents is the first one..

In all bases its better modified..

If you want a track car.. its got coilovers.. ECU..

if you want "bling".. its got that too..

And your saving 2K

And according to all the exclimation marks.. I think you too have made you decision..

Arent the Active lsd only on the series 2's? Even though it has more mods i dont like the look of the R33 series 1 interor and the bonnet + lights. + ide go for the newer car and the one in better condition.

More mods means more thrashed, no one builds a fast car to drive solwly. Regardless before you buy make sure you get it checked out by a mechanic.

    • 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.
