There are always good and bad stories about every workshop... I am sure that RP071 has a true story to tell but one experience for one person doesnt mean that it will happen to everyone.

I know these guys quite well as they are a customer of mine and they seem to know what they are doing.. They have built some very serious cars.

1. Bullet32 - Show 'n' Shine

2. Kat - Dyno comp and Show 'n' Shine

3. Bluprint - Show 'n' Shine

4. Ex!$t3nZ - Show 'n' Shine (ill be coming but my car will probably be parked with the toymods people)

Too true, I've heard some horror stories about Gas motorsport as well, but I'll leave that for another day.....

PM sent to everyone that was asking questions. Basically, I have told them that it is up to them wether they run their cars and all I have done is to share my experience.

was told there should be heaps of Evos and WRX

Awesome! The 4wd category should be entertaining then :rofl: I got my car back on friday, its cutting sick but unfortunatly its 2wd for the moment. It should be sorted for the day so im in!

Only the dyno comp though, my car still looks like sh1t.

Whatcha putting out at the rears now matey? Haha occasionally I do something silly like activate rwd mode and it makes for interesting driving :D

Kat should put all the Evo/WRX's to shame, even with small turbo's. Now the Supra is another matter.

"Kat's small turbos" I know that appears to be your favourite thing to say. Just pointing out they aren't a whole lot smaller than yours. It's only turbos I'm talking about here :rofl:

I'll be in! I spose it will be stupidly early though *sigh* :)

Small turbs are underated. I personally know of a dyno proven 505awkw made with 'little' 2530's. I like Kat's pair. They look great, the bang for the buck is there, she's got the runs on the board,... We're still talking turbos, aren't we?!? ; p

anyhoo, I'll be there with a different kind of JDM model for the show'n'shine. Go the Foz!

that 505 wasn't on pump fuel :P

No, but does that matter? Does a sub 10 second run in a street registered car matter either? Or a bunch of show'n'shine trophies? Or magazine features?

No, it had twin, 'little' low mounts on. That's what matters.

Ha! Got it back and it was pumping out just shy of 360kw atw. It lifted off the dyno the first run so we needed people in the boot.

The Autronic rocks.

    • 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.
