Alright, I've currently got the stock exhaust with 3" cat back (gay as)...

I'm pretty retarded with cars, but slowly learning. Any advice would be fantastic.

Looking at going 3" turbo back.. Best to buy separately and fitted at an exhaust shop? Or buy through them?

Wanting something high flow, dont care about noise (quiet is fine) and will help power/overall sexiness

Also, should I aim to spend about $1k fitted??

Just Jap is a forum sponsor they can supply both a dump/front pipe and a cat but I would go for a larger bodied cat if you want the least restriction.

Venom exhaust works and email George direct.

3" all the way through and you can't go too far wrong.

So google both of those, buy them and then take it to an exhaust shop asking them to fit 3" all the way through??

you've already got a 3in catback? So you just need the front pipe and 5in cat fitted.

Ok great, that would make sense haha..

See i've learnt something today and it's only 7:40am!

www.justjap.com

if your car is auto try and get the jjr front and dump and the bend in it..

i got one for a 33/stagea but its was dead straight and had to be cut and welded to go around the gear box..

fun times!

mine is a manual... its not a car if you cant shift gears :P

it says the 500 is recommended for +350rwkw etc... is it still applicable for cars with less than those figures?

Dont worry about taking it to an exhaust shop. U wont learn anything that way. Buy urself a set of spanners, a pair of stands, a jack and change the front pipe and cat yourself. Its literally a dozen bolts. Even a total novice could knock it out in 1 day and it will save on the reaming u'll get from the exhaust shop.

My mate reckons it'd be a nightmare job for a rookie like myself??

Also he reckons given the heat of the turbo, the bolts would be hard to get off??

Before ya start ripping into it get yourself some "Penetrene" or similar quality penetrant in a squirty bottle & some safety goggles. :yes:

Cheers GW

I gotta agree with that. A good penetrant will help. Mine came loose without it, but every car is different. Just allow yourself the whole weekend and u'll definately get it done. Just take the cat off 1st. Then work your way forward. Its alot easier from under the car so ull want to get it up on stands with enough room to move round. Take ur time and remember if u get frustrated u'll break stuff. So walk away, clear ur head and give it another go.

All of the above. It's good to have them on hand too for future DIY'S.

Also wondering if u got a hold of George? I've yet to get a reply from him..and it's been 2 days. I'll give him another day...I don't want to seem too keen.

Perhaps think about replacement nuts and bolts, gaskets, gasket goo etc before you tackle it....or at least make sure the nearest auto shop has things you might need in stock.

Thats a reminder! I usually change to stainless bolts on exhausts cos if u ever need to pull the exhaust off (which u will if ur on a hunt for power. Changing gearboxes and diffs etc.) they wont be rusted up. :)

    • 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.
