I fitted an ISC kit to one of my mates R33 and it was a pain in the ass. None of the bracket fitted and the drivers side piping was no where near close to fitting. the passangers side was close to fitting but did need to be modded.

In the end i made up my own brackets, cut the pipes and bought two extra silicone fittings it it fit then. I think it was sold as an R32/33 kit and it definatley didn't fit an r33.

When i rang Ryan to find out what was going on he pulled out the old line, "i've sold heaps of these and i have never had anyone have a problem with fitting them". i even sent him pictures but never got a reply.

If the brackets had fit then the piping would have fit, but the R33 have a thermo fan infront of the air-con' heat exchanger which ment that the bracket were to short. I then had to cut the shroud around that fan and make up longer brackets that sat the inter-cooler further forward which then ment that the piping was too short.

The drivers side piping was also on the wrong angle where it went through the guard below the washer bottle.

With my 180 i made up my own piping which although it took a bit longer and was more expensive (it was $505 for everything as opposed to $300 + the extras which i think was $150 for the ISC kit) it fit better and being stainless it looks better and will always be the way i will go with my own cars. Although i might try and make my next piping up out of aluminium.

Why didn't you buy the same then silly boy? aha

not my car mate! :P

Yeah mine came from Just Jap too, but front bar modification was the biggest pain in the ass.

i dont mind the front bar and reo mods, but trimming fans and modifying brackets shouldn't be necessary!!! being a mass produced product and/or rip off of a Japanese kit, you'd think they'd make these things right and to fit without too much stuffing around!

every part of my body wants to really make my wheels fit, but at this point in time its looking 100% un-acheivable without making the car a TOTAL cop to drive. by this I mean, heaps and heaps of camber, stiff as fark coilovers etc

I use the GT-R daily, I am by no means looking for a silk smooth ride, after all its a GT-R but with stupid amounts of camber the road chews thru tires... ehhhh. When i bought these wheels I didn't think it would be this hard lol.... :P

bro its not just the guards that are the problem I think.

I think because my coilover spring rates are mallala spec they're on 5krear 6k front it allows the coilover to travel a bit more as the weight transfers going over things and up my driveway to then force the wheel to touch the guard while reversing out on an angle.

My stagea is a daily with 19x8 +30 on the front with 30mm bolt on spacers = 19x8 0 offset with none stretched tyres, rubs like crazy on big bumps and in the hills etc etc, really not that big a deal, rather have my car look like WIN and scrape than look like fail and aids and not scrape. Luke had 18x10s on his 4 door. If you want your car to look average then sell the rims but if you want it to be a stand out/look tuff as all fuc then make them fit.

My 2 cents.

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      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.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      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.
