Ok, I'll be waiting for you at Lakeside next saturday.

Hell no, that place is where nice cars go to die.... I refuse to put my car on that track.

But I ripped straight past you around the turns at QR.

Ill fix my battery clamp, then bring it on (for the first two laps then im unable to stop the car lol)

This particular ls1 can corner :P

Yeh I got your back Nick ;) lol

It can corner. Cornered very well after fitting the coilovers. But was a little drunk at the time also.

I don't have your back but captain. Tom is doing a great job of being all over it ;)

Chris, I might have to check out this clay bar of yours that you mentioned.....was just checking out some youtube vids, never used one before.

Its good shit mate. You can borrow mine if you want

Yeh I wouldn't mind trying it out out on a little patch - I take it that you have to use it with a form of liquid polish as a lubricant?

You would be correct sir. I have a detailing spray to use with the clay bar

Nice! Did I ever end up showing you the dents in my bonnet?I dare say that I'm gonna have to get the whole bonnet fixed and resprayed at some stage...it doesn't look like it from a distance but it has at least 5 decent hail stone dents in it and some pretty bad stone chips on the leading edge above the grill =/

Lubricant spray for clay bar? Sawft! Mix some car wash and water in a spray bottle and that will do. ;). Just needs to be a slippery solution.

Yeh it's a type of polishing compound with a wax mixed in...may as well polish/wax it while you're scrubbing away

that's the way we do it at work. The detailing spray came as part of the clay bar kit I purchased, otherwise I would be using car wash

Yeah you have shown me the dents on the bonnet. I'll give you a quick quote now to fix it all. Thousands

Clay strips off all wax and polish. You're essentially waxing and then ripping the wax straight off. Clay takes it back to pure paint.

You are correct sir

    • 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.
