I did left alot of factors relating to my decision unnoted which I guess set me up for the above responses and in turn admittedly did make me look like somewhat of a d*ck :laugh:

I merely tried stating that all my funds are exhausted at the moment and will be as at this point in time there are other critical things which require my urgent financial attention to attend to so as little as $3000 for a clutch may seem to some of you I can assure you at this very point in time for me it is not

3k is alot- Thats 6 weeks wages for me atm- But in perspective to 80k it really it nothing.

Josh stop posting pictures, you know i can't see them on my work computer and i want to laugh at them but they are little square boxes with a red X in it :(

My bad.

:fakenopic:

Get someone at work to perform some :mage: and see epic pics.

My question is

A) how did you have the motor forged and not know what clutch is in it ?

B) why wasn't the clutch checked/replaced whilst the motor was being forged?

In answer to the op keep it fix it enjoy it ! It will be hard to find a car that you will enjoy as much as a 34R but as with any car if you drive it hard be prepared to pay !

Lol I actually inherited one ! One owner 120k on the clock in old man gold ! With original 14 inch steelies with hub caps still attached . That is a hard car to compete with

Thats a good question.

Basically the reason motor was forged was that the oil pump let go around the same time I had to finalise all my Vegas trip funds last year.

This obv meant motor out job = alot of money. Long story short I cancelled my Vegas holiday, spent a bunch of money at workshop after the motor came out in order to carry out the necessary work (at the same time done other things like sump, camshafts, fuel pump, powerfc as the car was still at the workshop along with a huge a$$ list of other stuff).

Knowing my luck at the time certain financial circumstances were changed and I had no time and money to spare to continually add bits and pieces to the car as I went. I ordered the motor back together ASAP as I just wanted the car on the road and couldn't afford to put any more into it at the time. As a result the clutch was completely over looked however the workshop had stated its a Nismo of some sort which made me sleep abit easier for the time being

Need some 12 slotters for it?

Sitting in the rents backyard.

Doing SFA.

Thanks for the offer would have taken you up on it but donated the car to tafe a long time ago. Bit sad as a xr6t motor would have slotted nicely in it !

As for op I know what's done is done but clutch should have been amongst the top of the "to do list" so now you have to fix something you should have already done . Fit nismo twin and enjoy !

    • 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.
