Let me correct you on this one budd. I own this car. It is running a nitrous Ls2 with a tricked up auto and lock diff. It has never seen the strip in this configuration so the times you mentioned are false. The car is not a show car, It gets driven daily hence its not always clean. The front bar lets the car down, but the rest of the car is clean.

Not having a go at you budd, just giving you the facts. :)

Ahh ok, yeah I wasn't so sure on the strip times as I can't even recall where I heard that lol, but good to see I'm not completely insane and was at least right about the engine ;) Also good to see the owner is at least a member on here :) I quite like it myself, though I'm not really a fan of the pearlescent paint - as awesome as it does look, just not my thing.

Yeah Trozzle - You should've known bud ! GOSH !

SIR. MY f**kING BALLS. YOU ARE BREAKING THEM. LOL

I'd just got up (still asleep really) to take son to work. Wasn't really with it.

34 was warming up so couldn't go fast - as I wanted too :(

Don't do what I do coz not a good example :unsure:

As per the bolded text.

When do I know that the car is ready to be opened/ warmed? I've been looking at the heat gauge (Bottom right) and waiting for it to go to it's normal spot (Just under halfway) however, I have 3 gauges in the middle. (One is turbz and the other is battery volt.) but the other one (Middle) is oil tempeture(?) - do I go off this to know that the car is warmed up? - it sits on 70 for quite awhile.

Just drive conservatively until the car's at operating temp (temp gauge ~halfway or so), then drive as hard as you want lol.

I'd say once the oil temp is above 50 deg you're fine to drive it however you want really, but that's not a professional opinion :)

Water temp is a terrible gauge to tell if the car is ready to drive hard. If that's all you have keep going easy for a few minutes after it reaches normal temp.

If you have oil pressure, notice how high it is when cold, and how low it is after a long drive. When it comes down from high/cold to low/normal it is ready to hoon.

If you have oil temp, anything over about 60- 70 is ready like trouble said

The important thing is it might take much longer than you'd guess to warm up, esp on a Canberra morning. The stag is not getting anything near warm on my commute.

Dont thrash a cold engine! It is way bad for it!

And don't shut down an engine that isn't at operating temp after a short drive :P if the oil isn't hot enough, the little bit of fuel that slips past the rings etc won't evaporate and in turn will sit in the oil and ruin it.

Cheers guys !

Yeah - I tend tp not thrash the car (if at all) but I don't use my Turbz until maybe 10-15 minutes into the drive and after that I wait until all gauges are lifted from the bottom of the gauge. I do wait 2mins or so (idle) of a morning and have a turbo timer set to 30seconds but will sit with the car running for 30-60 seconds before the 30 sec timer engages. I just thought I'd use the gaugges instead of them looking pretty haha

The middle gauge sits on 70 from cold and I wait until 85'ish? (it won't go any higher).

Should sit on the needle below 70.

When it raises to 70 then it's go time

Should be capable of going over 85 tho ?

Edit: Can drive after a minute or so from cold. Stay off boost till oil is warm enough.

I don't thrash mine, but I don't let it idle too long or baby it either. I don't take it to redline or launch as it's not just the engine that takes time to warm up. I certainly get it on boost (under load) before the oil is 70+ and water temp is at 'normal'. won't hurt them to be driven realistically!

Thanks for that Richard. Very Cool. :cool:

Temps? My oil Temp was getting up around 95 on my work commute a few weeks ago... Doesn't get much over 70 now. Ambient Temps affect things more than you think.

I don't sit idling on cold start but I change gear no higher than 3000rpm til over 70 on oil temp. Well, a combo of oil pressure and temp.

Need to hook up my water temp gauge properly for more information. Just can't be stuffed cutting Radiator hose etc... :)

Spotted RS4 or whatever your username is at your place of employment in Fyshwick ;)

Also spotted the person that has the dark blue 300ZX on Gladestone Street about 4pm.

And a silver R33 GTR at Dan's Tuggers. Guy was wearing HI VIZ.

    • 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.
