makes sense. my mechanic did EVERYTHING on the car for me. ordered and fitted parts, flushed and changed all fluids, filters and spark plugs. made sure everything is working the way its meant to. im happy with paying that much for a job well done.

why pay someone to do something you can easily do yourself at home :thumbsup:

i do oils, plugs and filter every 5-7Ks anyway. brake pads take me 20mins to change over

if i had the right tools i woulda done eveything else myself.

but hey if you dont mind paying nothing wrong with that :cheers:

lol think u could take on clutch, transfer case, brake, power steering, gear box and front and rear diff fluids, flushed and replenished rimon?

sounds like a headache to me. better that those who are qualified do it :P

Thanks for the stories :) sounds about right then! Not sure who I talked to at racepace but a nice bloke as well

And yeah, I basically do my plugs / engine oil and basic stuff but rest CBF.

if you provide a hoist it shouldn't be a problem, surely you know how to use a spanner..? :P

I live in apartments.

The amount of space i have to work in, is basically the size of a GTR. It just fits in the carpark dimensions as it is.

So clearly not going to happen.

The labour for all of mine was around $300 - so the fact it would have literally taken me ALL day to do it in such a confined space, that's just how it goes for me.

I've done my own services in the past etc, but sometimes it's just not feasible as time is money.

...

usual rate is about $25 an hour, so he spent 3 full days working on your car?

What crack have you been smoking? The going rate for labour is normally $80+ per hour, they probably pay their workers less than $25 per hour but I don't know any stupid enough to charge so little.

When are we playing again Kris? :P I came pretty close to beating you last time. I'll admit you've got serious skills though.

I will whenever you wish to die next haha. Tonight?

Get it dezz. It's a bit different but when you sus it out you will love it

    • 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.
