Hi Ive been looking around here for a while as ive been thinking about buying a M35 and are now pretty keen to get one.

Ive just noticed this one http://www.carsales....id=130E58AEE01C

But im also looking at one at Power Road Car Sales. It has the same body kit and muffler as the other, but also twin sunroof, Momo wheel and leather interior (not fussed about the leather) but 119km. Probable be about the same price as well.

Dose anyone know anything about the one on car sales (its about 3.5 hours away from me) or is there any other ones that would be worth considering?

Thanks Andrew

I wouldn't worry too much about KM's personally. When buying an import you need to be sceptical of what is on the clock, it's very easy to have the clock wound back before it goes on the ship in Japan, or even before they go to auction.

The black one on Carsales looks alright but is a bit of a "pov pack" Stagea from what I've seen. I considered it for a bit but realistically I'd end up replacing the exhaust with something aftermarket anyway, and the stereo is overkill for me. Always makes me smile when people install boost controllers and then only run the car with standard boost too. Sure, lol.

Probably another guy who's trying to making some $$$ off a freshly landed car.

The rego seems brand spanking new...when I had my car rego'ed in Jan it was YDK XXX....

Car looks alright - getting it checked out would be fun...

Find out who complied the car and dereg papers...

Thanks for the help, dont think I will bother going to look at that one then.

I was looking at the other one just after it had got there and with a clean im sure it will look just as good as the one on carsales. I was also able to put it up one the hoist and cheek underneath

A mate of mine looked at a black one at Power Road Car Sales recently, but it didn't have the aero front bar as you mentioned, like the one on car sales in your first post. I think he also said it was leather (beige) with twin sunroofs? Was there another one there that you bought?

Congrats on your purchase though. Where are you located?

    • 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.
