Dale were do you.......do you get bored at work or something?

Not really, just thought your thread needed a cat with ripped abs.

But then I though of this! They must've been separated at birth?

Weird huh?

Que: "the final countdown" by Europe.

One week to go. Only four more working days to go. Then two weeks off.

Driving a mates NM35 on sunday to get me even more pumped and i can not wait so its my VQ25DET fix before i leave.

You could say im getting pretty pumped!

i just realised josh that your display pic has been taken in kotara in my neck of the woods! come to newcastle often?

Yeah mate I'm from there and all my family are still up there. Plus I head up to see friends every few weeks

Leave tomorrow. Will be in melb hopefully without hickups around 4-5ish.

This is it guys. Its happening. Updates will happen as often as i can.

Ill try and upload pictures but since im doing it off my phone it may or may not work.

If not pictures will happen when i get back.

Was the drag from the huffy slider too much?

Lol

Good to hear. Get with the updates. And if you feel a prickly beard on the back of your neck in the night; run like hell.

Na slider is at home. Didnt have room in the car.

Will keep that in mind thanks alex.

Let me just say, there are so many differences between the engines, chassis and ecu/loom that I am worried this will turn into a nightmare. I had no idea it would be this much work. Hopefully it all goes as planned but it will take some time, anyone know Kanji? :P

After pouring over the Kanji DD skyline wiring diags, and realising there is absolutely nothing similar with the ecu (other than the connector) or the Re4 transmission controls, and not being sure the 'can' system would even communicate, we came to the conclusion the det ecu won't work with the 4 speed, and the DD ecu won't drive standard injectors, (or Emanage) without extensive rewiring/modification. It seems to be a big can of worms, around 200 wires to reroute and no guarantees it will work. :/

I think the turbo would have fit, but required custom cooler piping, as the starter motor is 3 inches higher. Also tapping turbo feed and drain fittings into the RWD sump was needed, as the RE4 and RE5 bellhousings are different.

The engine mounts were 4 inches closer to the engine, meaning the turbo intake would need to be custom made.

The chassis was different, and the Stagea front subframe wouldn't bolt up. This would mean major chassis mods, cutting parts off the Stagea wreck and swapping them onto the Skyline to remedy. This would make the car defectable. Possible for a track car, but obviously not a road car.

Sad to say it, but it is just cheaper and easier to buy a Stagea Mark... You know you want one... ;)

Yeah sad to see it all goto crap but hey. Scotty has done a mad job fixing all the little bit a pieced that was wrong with the existing set up, cleaning out the plenum and intake today and brake cut mod.

I now have stagea aero bumper with no fogs, have stagea aero sides on the way and a few other bits.

Now that this didnt work i think its time to save for a Y34 cedric/gloria. VQ30DET

    • 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.
