How long would it take a machine shop to set up 4 wheels on their large scale industrial lathe, taking the correct amount off and not risking upsetting the balance of the wheel in any way.
I'd imaging it takes a decent amount of time to do considering you're grinding inside the area you would normally mount it with... So it's gotta be done using clamps around the outside of the wheel.

If each wheel was completely done in 15 minutes (wouldn't be), that's only $80 an hour for precision work on a machine worth many thousands of dollars.

My freedom was when I was 18 and finally allowed to do what I want, legally abiding by law. And not breaking any rules and doing what is socially perceived as acceptable..

I feel so free

That was literally just on the radio? Coincident? Conspiracy? Illuminati is watching

This is the core of the issue... You don't think it's worth $80/hour to do, however for a skilled machinist in a shop dedicated to tasks like this it is...

They've got to pay Wages, overheads, Rent, Cost of Equipment and Consumables, Superannuation, Taxes, Power, Gas, Advertising and a skinny philo called mikeymike to sweep the floors. They're a business, if that can make a small profit after that they're doing well.

This is why I DIY as many things as I can, only going to specialists if its something that I can't (or it isn't cost effective for me) learn to do myself using my own tools.

    • 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.
