So i finally took steps towards shielding my pod today

headed to bunnings in search of perspex

i was appalled when they wanted $45 for a smallish sheet so i bailed

buttttttttt............ on the way out i noticed they had plastic buckets for the princely sum for $0.94 so i thought to myself "what the hell...lets see what happens"

One bucket

I know its not high tech but its better than having a pod soaking up all the heat from the turbo and it cost less than a dollar

let me know what you think

Step away from the bucket please :) .

Your car deserves better than this, what did it do to warrant this punishment?

Check out some plastics suppliers or use some flat alloy sheet.

I'd rather a poke in the eye, then I couldn't see what you've done.

Throw that abomination in the bin and let us never speak of this again.

Cheers, Dale

f**k i thought i was being harsh.honesty is the best policy dale

Sorry if I offended you Tom, clearly you have excellent taste in cars, you're obviously having an "off" day.

It happens; I had an "off" day once, in the early 90's and ended up driving a Triumph :) . At least your mistake only cost 94 cents...

But please, take it off, it makes the baby Jeebus cry.

Cheers, Dale

    • 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.
