whatever you do pick a workshop that provides an agreed warranty for the engine build

outlines the cost of the job and doesnt give you a surprise 2k extra bill at the end

and an agreed end date instead of "yeah soon" each month

Hmm

Who is it? Want someone who won't blow the engine up lol

Pm me brahhh... Might need to do 200kkm service soon

PM's sent

It's a specialised engine building workshop that does everything from street cars to full blown drag cars.

youre all wrong.

ric is half lebo, half black, half antarctican.

Nah, he is full HEKT1K.

Okay.

In regards of finding someone to put the motor together and tune it.

My mate thinks I should go to a place that does everything in house, as I'm getting Sposaro to build up the engine and he's outsourcing the tuning to Creatd.

Mate recommends JPC.

They built his drag VL, and his 400kw Xr6.....

So cownfushun

Don't your cousins own Rajab..?

LOL!

or at least if you cant find a workshop that covers warranty

at least you will know up front that its not covered

so if and when something goes bang you are aware of where you stand etc

ntohing worse than a nice build failing at start up, first run in or early KM stages

only for the owner to be told sorry not covered its your oil contimination or something etc etc

get as much info on what is covered and what isnt

ill be supplying the rods and pistons etc though.

if they can just cover their workmanship id be happy.

might just get creatd to do it.

trying to understand cams, springs etc.

f**k its confusing shit.

The line between workmanship and parts is incredibly blurred at the best of times.

Better yet Moh, buy a workshop manual and build the engine yourself. One of the most rewarding things I've ever done was build an engine! It's not that difficult, if you follow instructions carefully. Just like lego but with torque wrenches and tolerances lol.

what happened matt?

lol took a customer into the storage warehouse to look at some sinks, he says oh both your cars are in here, what do you drive daily?

me: the triton ute

customer: f**k bitches load fridges!

what happened matt?

Tried to do me for things that werent RWC items like a "soft" upper radiator hose. Rear pads were 2mm and legal limit is 1.5mm and I called him out on that and he got all defensive that oh well if you want to save $350 then we dont have to do it, then turned around and told me I should anyway. The owner of the company also told me to do some research to find out whats minimum spec for the rotors and get back to him.. like thats my job as a customer and all. Front tyres are Retreads (dont laugh, they came with the car) and the mechanic thought that meant they were damaged on the sidewalls, even though its just the cap glued on. Also tried to find the slightest imperfection in every bush so is trying to sting me for most of them in the rear and a couple in the front. All up about $1000 if I don't do the brakes.

(This is on a VLT also, none of this would happen on a skyline :P)

    • 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.
