Hi, :action-smiley-069:

What mods should i do first?. not to sure any help will be appricated.

Car gets driven nearly every day so reliability is a must and would like to get close to 180-200rwkw's for now. Engine's stock apart from apexi n1 cat-back exhaust. Budget is around 2k not including nistune. I was thinking of this:

FMIC,electronic boost controller,dump/downpipe,wideband AFR metre,hi flow panel filter, and then a nistune( anyone know a rough estimate of these fitted and tuned) is there any other things I would need to run higher boost safely?

Thanks

a few things, save your money and get a manual boost controller. they are a darn sight cheaper (turbotech is about $30 on ebay) and work nearly as good. the money you save could be spent better elsewhere. also don't bother with an air/fuel meter unless you plan on doing the tuning yourself and only do that if you know what you're doing otherwise you could end up with a blown motor. a nistune will set you back about $1000 installed, including the z32 ecu which you would need to run it.

my advice would be to just get a FMIC, dump/front pipe, 3" cat (if you don't have one already), manual boost controller and a nistune if you want that little bit extra. then just run your boost at about 12psi and it should be close to your goal.

oem coils will perform as well as splitfires. as for whether you need them or not, i wouldn't bother buying them until you have increased the boost and seen whether it misfires or not. if it doesn't misfire then save yourself a few hundred dollars.

also don't rule out yellowjacket coils. they seem to perform well also.

it's not a fwd, so shouldn't need a flex joint unless your engine mounts are shagged allowing the engine to move a lot, especially if you still have the bracket from the gearbox to the exhaust as it will make sure the dump/front pipe moves with engine.

    • 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.
