do yourself a favour and don't! T-bolt clamps are rubbish. personally I wouldn't use one to hold the expansion joint on my dunny!

you gotta be shitting me? i hope your not talking about the ones i've put a pic of below as they are all i will ever use for intercooler piping as they are by far the best for it out there i have not once had a hose pop off using these but i cant say the same for the rest of the hoseclamps out there, sure there bit big and bulky but they work and they work well!

noooo, they are the cheapest and best marketed ones available! not the best. they have flat insides and due to their design are usually way over tightened. you should not be using clamp force alone to seal the pipe. you want a clamp with beads in it to create seals and with rolled edges. sard dual bead clamps are my favourite but they are just re-selling another company's clamps i'm sure. the norma constant tension clamps look good too.

you want the clamps that have an inner ring, with dual beads, and rolled edges and then a clamp that goes over it. these wont cut into your joiners and they don't need to be wanged up to 1000ft/lb of torque just to seal either.

In that thread above I think someone posted a link to another brand of dual bead clamps, but even the sard brand ones are not expensive. plus it's not like you have to keep buying them over and over.

these are the ones to get: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=4455418

80-90mm should to it. something around that will usually have a wide enough range to fit. if you have to choose 80 or 90, I'd choose 90. things get pretty big by the time you add pipe OD plus joiner OD.

I'm interested in the beaded type clamps, however I can't find anywhere which sells them around here, so I've stuck to using Cummins Tee bolt clamps, which as long as they are done up in the right spot seem to work really well (in conjunction with their silicon hose which has a textured wrapping on it causing the clamps to stick really hard into it). $5.90 per clamp is exxy though, I'm just replacing mine as they start to stuff up.

      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

      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.
