That was what I was trying to explain to you in your other thread...:) Definately need a drop on 20s.

seano,

wasnt your car slightly lower than your mates?

just because you havent upgraded springs doesnt mean a previous owner didnt. you could have Z springs and not know it...

clean the springs and check for any spots of paint colour, theyll ID the springs,

Very good point, i will check this when i change my comp rod bushings. I doubt it though you would assume the previous owner would mention that as a selling point.

Could be right, my car does look a lot lower than the pictures above though. Might just be because my rims and tyres are only stock 18s but yeah. When i get time to do my comp rod bushings i'll take some pics of the springs is there any way you can properly tell apart from paint marks?

I wouldn't rely on photo comparisons alone to determine if you are lowered or not. Your springs and shocks could well be tired and sagged a lot more than your mates both being factory suspension. As I mentioned earlier as well, overall wheel diameter could also have an effect, so maybe let us know what tire profiles you are running on your 18s as well. A difference or 10-15mm could give u a slightly lowered look

Marshan: No I wasn't running 17's, I was running 19's LOL

And yes, will get it lowered eventually, one thing at a time!!

    • 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.
