Hi guys picked up my 97 gtsts yesterday freshly imported :D

One of the issues i just noticed is that my Odomoter for the current trip (So the one on the bottom) is flying!

I drove it from Baulkham Hills to Blacktown which is Max ~15km i'd say.

I reset the odomoter at the start of the trip and when i arrived at blacktown it said 60~ kms.

Any suggestions / is this fixable?

Cheers

Colin

id say the odo milage had a nice little hair cut before it left Japan and they stuffed up putting it back together.

id either ignore it or buy a 2nd hand one to replace it (not worth fixing). Either way, id do a 100,000km service and full fluid drop asap.

And congrats on the new car :yes:

dont be to worried about someone taking kms off your odo, every non gtr is probably in the 200k kms :)

just do what everyone seems to do and buy a new odo, rack up 70,000 kms and when you want to sell it polish it. mint condish bro.

Hey guys. Feel very foolish lol. It was all user error and i misread it :P

Driving a car with a digital odo for 5 years has done me no good!

Everythings fine now im just a noob.

So on your way to Blacktown your 'odo' "was flying" up to 6000rpm?

jk

Glad it's sorted Colin.

And yes, you might as well "confess" right here!

Leave it to us as to whether or not you receive absolution for wasting 2 mins of our lives!

Hey Terry,

I went to carbon car systems to get my alarm installed and must say best blokes there, friendly and honest. I wanted to get a more expensive Viper system but they told me it wasn't worth it / not suitable for me etc and sold me a mongoose system fitted instead. Told him i found his business on SAU and he was like yes Mr terry!

Going back this week to get my head unit installed =D

Awesome guys would recommend !

That's great Colin!

On one occasion when a quote was given to supply & instal, they needed an extra part that they'd run out of. They went into Blacktown to procure the part but insisted on not charging me any extra. They even apologised for taking up extra time.

Good old fashion service at Carbon Car Systems & Daniel Gardener.

Chris Rogers in Brisbane has the same service approach.

Got my head unit installed today on short notice (had about 4 cars there but squeezed me in) Found out my two front speakers where dead... Didn't charge me an arm and a leg to get things installed and replaced.

Very happy with their service still and can't wait till they start doing their tinting so i can go back and get some more work done :D

    • 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.
