Ev's - R32 Gtr - Targa/sprint/hill Climb Build

Paint is rattle can. 2 PAC paint was roughly costed at up to 4k. Prefer to spend that on something else mechanical.

I thought the paint came up ok. It won't wear well on the floor but I am not too worried as I think I will put stainless check plate on both floors in the future. It can touched up easily enough from time to time as well.

Looking great Evan. Great to see it coming together quickly, you will be out enjoying it in no time. Good plan on going to that extent for the seat mounts. Andrew does a mean floor plate in checker plate alloy - have some in my 34 - nice and light too. Need to get him on to a few things for me as well.

do you know what they used to paint the cage and interior?

VHT do a roll bar & chassis paint in a rattle can that is a little chip resistant. I've used it on various things and it comes up well, cures pretty hard in about a week. Mate used it on his cage and looks same as this.

I know that pain. I have worked in backwards nowhere parts of Indonesia, India, Malaysia..."engineering...taking people to parts of the world nobody else dare"

never a truer word said. I was just up in Malaysia 4, hours out of KL in the banana plantation fabrication yard......

    • 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.
