anyone else has ever been stuck with taking the last bolt on the water return line to get access to turbos. look at the attached pic and its number 3,

it wont budge. ive used WD40 thinking its rusted but no effect, the coolant has already been drained as well. any suggestions.. its on a r33 gtr hasnt been touched ever. also are there any kits to replace this line, i can only find water line kits from the turbo to the middle junction (number 4)

That line is pretty hard to get off. What I did is clamp down on the bracket that the line goes into with a pair of vice grip pliers and used a line wrench on the line itself. My R32 engine had some stuck lines too.

can try heating up with oxy

hi yes i remember doing this on my r32 a while back number 3 was very dificult try leaving 2 and 4 connected and the bracket that holds number 4 into the head still connected is easier this way other wise the pipes twist and move too much and it can make it dificult to put back on. i tried using wd40 etc but the only thing that worked was some heat around the area of thread to my memory i even used a normal spanner to get it off after heat applied, before i applied heat i used a pipespanner (linewrench) it still didnt move carefull not to round bolt.

    • 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.
