hahahahah

yeah it was the loose cannon behind the wheel! heheh

Richard - thanks for the kind words mate - exactly right, Im glad it never happened to me when I had the R33! that would have been costly!

lol dont worry, your SR20 is safe!

Charles @ Ando - maybe 5 years time I'll have an SR in there! or....maybe 5 years time I'll have a mx5 SP turbo racer!

So yeah, car is back at mine, going to be sitting under the bed sheets in the garage for a couple months till after my wedding and honeymoon.

The guys at Unigroup had a look at it all and feel it shouldnt be too hard to fix, minor damage. So plan is Tony at All cylinder heads will do head work with some port and pollishing. Im going to buy some cams, and get it put back together and tuned. pistons dont look damaged, worst case a valve or two may be bent. well, fingers crossed its minor!!!

Now you are talking - forget the SR20 go for something big.

I can just see a LS1 under the bonnet of your red baby and I am sure that Stuart will head you in the right direction with the install.

V12 is a winner for sure. just don't think about the iridium spark plug bill on that bad boy! lol. only 3 times your current donk and probably as much as a BP engine rebuild.

LOL

I'll get them to take some for me!

And unfort I was going to do a bit of a bigger build...however with just purchasing a house I can really afford to just get the head fixed.

Was going cams, ecu, maybe pistons etc but sadly, getting just the head fixed will have to do for now.

at least I'll be back on the track hopedully soon, been to bloody long!! (december!!)

    • 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.
    • Trailer got new mudguards to accommodate the new wheels Lightweight ally Painted, stickered and done ✅ 👌
