also, bought car with cooked motor, you just did a mohsen.

seriously now.

do LS TT

no... buying a car with a blown motor would only be a mohsen if the motor blew on the drive home

Still deciding, it will really depend what comes up. If a built 26 pops up, I'll consider that for a cheap and risky way out. Otherwise, budget may allow for RacePace to rape my wallet.

Was making 340awkw with the HKS turbos before engine issues (it's actually still quite driveable and the engine idles smoothly besides the sound, so don't know how far gone it is), which sounds plenty for me in a street car. I'd like to put it on sugar cane for response, though.

On the cosmetic side of things

This was a very nice 33R at Sandown on the weekend

Thanks gents

It's gotta get to Melbourne first and that was an absolute nightmare organising transport on the day I was supposed to be flying back :O

Transporter knocked it back cause needed 15cm ground clearance so I had to remove the front lip and leave it in ACT...no biggie as it was damaged anyway. Took off the brake ducts too but they are with me.

Chuck a thicker oil and she'll be right moite.

I've done my share of interstate car towing...prolly would have if I still had access to a race car trailer and time wasn't an issue.

$400 depot to door from Canberra, pretty happy with that.

    • 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.
