I found one big house about 50 times...Some patriotic rich pricks owned it, had a f**king 4 million dollar flag stuck in the roof...everytime we went around the roundabout there it was again..so we tried a different roundabout and BANG!!!...it was still there...

this is always funny though

HAHAHAHA that describes my first time in Canberra perfectly!

Did you end up swapping in a new clutch?

I only passed through Canberra to buy fireworks, of which I found none. The highlight for me was an IGA store. Cool war museum I guess, and yes, if you're ever lost, just look for the flag.

Jez man just smash that POS housing with a big hammer, tell em to stop wasting your time and not to come back till its built properly...

its a mate of mine, but i honesty told him to put the stock turbo back on until he gets a different turbo. I am hating his setup. But maybe once the external is on it will be half ok

Does this guy ever f**ken sleep?

Mate its a public holiday get the f**k to bed I would be if I didnt work at a fricken hotel

4 days off and i wake up with a killer headcold damnit...

its a mate of mine,

even better that way you know he'll forgive you for smashing his car with a hammer.. :laugh:

But seriously, Is it even the wastegate flapper causing the issue, it may just be the flowpath to the gate itself is rubbish.

Also doesn't putting an external gate on completely defeat the purpose of putting an internal gate on anyway.. :blink:

Its 150$ for a housing...weld a pipe on it for a gate and enjoy the awesome.....

This is BSA's old car which has never been rego'd in NSW, so he went with internal gate to get it passed for a blue slip.

This internal gate housing has been modified so the flow path is good, it flows like a nornal 5 bolt rear housing, but now the bush is farked and is extremely hard to move

Haven't visited since about page 102, good to see this thread is still powering on...

Not building a 26 anymore for my S13- had too many block issues, so gone in a massively different direction and bought a VQ35HR last week - will be adding 2xTD0518G's instead :woot:

Bought the Kando's last week as well- should be interesting. I like that fact that i can change housing's and wheels to suit my engine relatively cheaply so really looking forward to seeing how it pans out.

Engine won't arrive for at least 2 weeks, gearbox departs the US next week along with a bunch of other bits.

Not chasing big power, but looking forward to seeing how the torque arrives, will be also changing dif gearing to suit the ratio's of the Z gearbox...

It's a shame you bought the wrong VQ to turbo Simonster, the 3.5 has weak rods to help with the 8k rev limit, you will have to rebuild the sucker first unfortunately (unless you are happy with 4-5psi?)

The factory turbo engines are the ones to go for, the VQ30det's are the cheapest option and with no adjustable cams they are the easiest to get running. I believe they may have Nistune working on the stock ecu too. This engine should be good for 400-450wkw unopened.

come on mate suck it up, they cant be that weak

dont be eating 1L of jelly now will you

Since researching the build I was going to do, the 3.5L is looking weaker than ever. Nothing to do with capacity mate, my 2.5 can be sleeved out to 4.3L fairly easily. Just letting Simon know that a $1200 stock 3L engine will be much stronger than the 3.5 he is getting and will actually handle the power of twin TD05's.

I made the same error, I have a 3.5 here I wont be using unless I can come up with 4-5k for a rebuild.

I found you even here Scotty! The VQ35HR actually has beefer rods than a DE. There are stock DE motors running around with 12psi in them. HR won't take as much because the CR is even higher (10.6:1 I think). Its all down to tuning IMO. The HR that destructed in Melb lately, I don't think was tuned all that well. There are tricks that I have been learning from people overseas as to the tuning of these.

I do agree with you - a VQ30det would have been better for his end use. And much easier to get working. But this is a bit off topic!

Just did a quick half hour tune. Havent turned the bleed valve up yet, this is with NO VTC.

Running new Tial mvr gate.

Stopped tuning due to a squeel from an injector seal under boost. Will check it out over the weekend.

looking good, holding boost well and still got at least 5psi left in it..power looks to flatten out a bit at 6500, thats on e85 yeah?..

turning out to be a great little turbo isnt it...what once was a skeptical "should make 280kw" is now a "smashing 300kw"...

picking up clutch tomorrow :D

Noticed they have nothing on eBay atm?

you searched kando didnt you..try search Kinugawa :thumbsup:

    • 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.
