i was on my way to tuggeranong and i could smell something burning like oil. quickly pulled aside and there was smoke coming out from the engine where the air con compressor is and also it was making noise. as i had the air con running on max, when i turn it off the noise was gone but it was still smoking.

Got it towed home just to be safe but was not fun waiting for like 2 hours on the side of the road

Dont know what the problem is but i will find out tomorrow

Sounds like the Radiator couldn't handle the really hot weather and it cooked. Hopefully no major damage was done....

Spotted Tom in his Blue 300z in Fyshwick around 2pm.

Silver, Wingless 4door R34 with NSW plates near Grevillea just before 2:20pm.

Dark R33 GTR? coming out of the Orange tunnel as I was heading in, just after 2:20pm.

    • 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.
