So, more shit ordered for Brad to keep going on this for me...

Starter motor should arrive by Friday at my place for it.

Also need to give a big thanks to Chris from Craved Coatings, many moons ago I sent him a heap of crap and went "Do stuff with it yeah?", I did tell him that I had no rush for it, as it was going to be a long project, and I emphasised this (When you actaully want stuff quickly he turns it around quickly!) but I got my gear back, and it looks SUPERB!

I'll get some photos up of his stuff soon.

I've had Chris do a few bits and pieces now, and his work is ALWAYS superb, at good prices! Seriously, send him your shiznit for powder coating!

So... I told you all Craved returned some parts to me... He did an excellent job...

I've also got the new ECU in... Just waiting on the loom so it can be wired up.

I've also been playing with the headlights and trying to clean them up... Might have to send them away to be profesionally done though... Yay... More money... LOL

I also bought the starter motor that was required so Brad can start modding the steering rack...

I think he's lost his camera too :P

We did find out though, that custom extractors are the ONLY way to go... Yay... More money... LOL

From what Brad has told me, and others have seen as well, the Ls1 and T56 are in and mounted. Last I heard te mounts haven't been 100% welded as Brad was waiting on the starter motor to make sure he only had to mod the rack and not move the motor further.

Wirin loom should turn up to him in 2 weeks time and just need plugs put on it.

Once it's mounted I understand we'll then be waiting on the front half of the tail shaft to be made. We spoke and decided on a 2piece shaft.

So, I gave myself a birthday present of a day off work, and decided to head up to take some snaps so Brad didn't need to worry with photos.

Holden thought of the R33 when they made this sump... It fits perfectly...

Supposedly a cat lives here...

I'm going to need to change this

This will cause issues...

See... They do fit...

Just...

Although, it does sit nice and low...

At least I can get to the gearbox bolts easily...

Because of how well the sump fitted the cross member, it's staying where it is, as you can see, it could be shoved back a bit, but that sump is such a good fit!

The shifter works out in nearly the standard location, slightly rearward, but because of the height of the box, the trans tunnel will need a slight mod around the shifter hole to allow the box to sit up all the way.

The back of the box still needs to go between 1 to 2 inches higher when it gets bolted up properly, so the motor will tilt slightly further forward. Even more clearance... :D

As to the rack, it actually needs to be moved to the drivers side a fair bit to make it fit. It's majorly in the way... A bit more obvious in person.

    • 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.
    • Trailer got new mudguards to accommodate the new wheels Lightweight ally Painted, stickered and done ✅ 👌  
    • Did you hit up the search function? R33 and greddy and cable returns this thread with some options.   https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/358214-rb25-throttle-body/
