tbf tho, cant see me having another holden anytime soon. clubby hasnt given me any issues, considering its a 12 year old car im very happy, but ive had my big engine phase for a while now.

how do you design a car that goes through wheel bearings every 20-40K

And you need to angle grind the bearings off the hub.

Bring back tapered roller bearings, pack em with your palm full of grease and they go for years.

I'm with you after this one never again.

that bad really?! wow.

my sister focus had a clutch that used to slip real bad... ford wouldnt replace it even tho it was 12000km old, they took it out said there was no signs of wear or anything and put it back in.

guess what.

never slipped again until she sold it 10000km later.

shame about the rest of the car tho, indicator stalks failing, stereo dying, air con f**king up etc etc.

It seems that 3/4 of cars that I see on the road with tail lights out are VE's...

Every single day I go... "ANOTHER ONE!"

It's as bad as seeing a car blow smoke when moving away from the lights, and then going... Yep, it's a Magna...

same with my kia. 2 years old. blows a headlight ever 3-6 months. kia have no idea why.

picked my A5 up yesterday, over the moon with it!

had ceramic pro put on it today, lets hope i never have to use that lifetime warranty!

Shoulda bought a ford brah

jokes

Did you apply the ceramic pro yourself?

Is that some sort of good paint protectant?

Pics brah

its a paint protection which is almost like another clear coat, it dries hard, can only be removed by cut and polish pretty much and comes with a lifetime warranty unlike most other paint protections which are 1 - 3 years.

shows how it works pretty much.

I had Levent from prestige specialist detailing do it.

leroy that sss for 1500...... manual yes? are they all manual?

Ive just asked. will PM you details when I get info, its a bit rough round the edges, but will need half the work the mirca needed (lol)

    • 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.
