Thanks eric.

Not sure why you think my current radiator is going to blow up? I even got it pressure tested it yesterday and they said its perfect.

I have never had over heating issues either even with that fat 100mm intercooler in the way!

I don't think it will blow up - It's just every track day I got to, I see atleast one or two radiators (non aluminum) give out. More of a safe guard than anything to protect your efforts. Like I said earlier the car is great props.

well she got tuned today and made 398.3hp at all 4 hubs! very happy with it, especially since it was such a hot day today, the midrange has improved alot and the off boost driving is much smoother now, doesnt feel lazy under 3000rpm anymore!

Max torque is now 1000rpm later in the rev range and has increased to 480nm which is what i was aiming for. Max power is slightly shifted later aswell but only by a few hundred rpm. A pair of poncams would help but im going to stick with the stock cams till i have the dosh to get some angry cams in there, most probably when the motor decides to call it a day.

Adjusting the intake cam gear both ways didnt seem to help, it seemed to like it most at 0 but the exhaust got retarded by 2degrees and gained a tiny bit more up top.

Boost comes on at 1.3bar but bleeds down to 1.2bar where it makes max power.

all i can say it well done and i very much enjoyed reading this thread, its easily got some of the sexiest+toughest midnight 33R's ive seen thus far. im very jealous having to stick with my gts-t due to my pathetic excuse of an apprentice income. :ermm:

Looking Good Snozzle. Keep your thread going as long as you can, because you most likely will continue with some mods, just like I have done & still going. It becomes a little addictive after a while. :yes:

You've put in some real effort into it.

I am running the Nismo AFM's with the stock airbox & snorkel & don't have any boost/spike problems.

I decided on the standard air box - mostly due to some of the cops here in Melbourne, VIC. :thumbsup:

However I am interested in putting a ARC Box in, some time in the future. I think that should be fine, as Victorian Cops like to see boxes, rather than pods.

I got some carbon fibre parts (Front grill, N1 bonnet lip, N1 Front Bar Slots & Nismo Pillar Garnish) in the mail last week & also got my Tomei S/S Dumps.

Only have to get the Tomei Extreme Manifold Kit, Split Fire Coils & HKS Cam Gears now.

Once I have put everything on & have painted my engine covers, I will post some pics.

Cheers

cant wait to see some pics ;)

Thanks man. Yeah i definitely want to run a catch can even if i dont really do any track work but i cant seem to find any good catch tanks that will still retain my windscreen washer bottle.

Ive seen one that looks MINT on another gtr but i cant remember whos it was, it was chrome and had GTR embossed on it which was also polished.

Do you know where i could get a decent catch can setup that will actually work ? Ive kind of left the catch can thing to last as i want to do it once but properly as alot of the setups dont seem to be very effective...

Top secret make one, you can get em from rhdjapan. or just jap make one also

that one youre thinking of though would be a RIPS custom jobby http://www.ripsltd.com/products.html (scroll down to the bottom)

I got Rips in NZ to make mine up..Not cheap but I still earn Japanese yen and got it made up when the Oz & NZ dollars were worth pesos during the GFC.

Marcuscatchtankfinished002.jpg

Yes! thats the exact one im after. Would these cost more than 500 bucks to get made up?

Im going to look into locally fabricating something like this, cheers Mark!

edit: sorry pete, i just realised u posted the link to the same thing already haha

Err these through RIPS are not cheap.

Quality of workmanship is exceptional !!

Like I said I took advantage of exchange rates during the GFC so ended up getting it a good price.

Flick Rob an email for a price.

Hi,

We do them slightly different to that now as we use weld on fittings to take braided or push lock hoses and they have different mounting tags but they are basicly the same (see pictures)

Exactly as it is in the pictures I can do for nzd795 incl shipping, if you want the GTR logo and polish add225.

Regards Rob

I think a JJR one for $249 will do just fine lol

ive asked justjap for some more photos of the item, if it looks neat ill end up buying this but using higher quality hose/fittings etc

    • 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.
