I found the issue with the factory boost gauge bouncing or not working at all. If you open the sender unit, dont remove the board, just solder the three pins (at the top of pic) that run to the plug underneath and youre done. Literally a 2 minute fix.

So is that the issue then - just a bad contact on some of the solder points?

Excuse my newbie-ness, but where is this sender unit located? I have done a bit of soldering in high school but my brother-in-law is an electronics tech so I'll get him to do the actual fix up...

Is it easy to get to? or is it a case of 30 mins getting to the part, and 2 minutes to fix it...?

Steve, it is the black, roundish sensor that sits to the left of the rubber bend part of the intercooler pipe

Just unscrew from bracket, remove bottom hose and pop the tabs on each of the four sides.

That is him, in the middle.

Thanks mate :P

I think the ecu sensor is the one before the blow off valve you can see in the top right of the pic.

Fix it yourself, its just a dab with the iron. Easy. :P

its funny, RX and ARX dont have boost gauges yet they still have the sensor lol

is it a 0-5v sensor? might be able to use that instead of installing another one for an aftermarket gauge.

digital boost readout anyone? :P

    • 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.
