Hello,

This is weird writting like a newbie. I'm a former Z32 owner of 5 years and just recently won a V36 in the Jap auctions. Still in the process of getting it here and already I have a list of mods and questions. Feel free to give me your opinions, questions and advice. This is a totaly new car for me so even though I have car experience none with this baby.

I purchased a 2007 V36 Auto Premium model with 102,000k's

Plans for it's arrival. In the following order

1. New Tyres if required - 225/45/18 F 245/40/18 R Khumo Ku31

2. Alarm system

3. Tinting darkest legal

4a. Service with synthetic oil, all new fluids including radiator, power steering, brake fluid, gearbox and diff oil change and install magnetic drain plug to engine sump.

4b. Replace jap buttons on dash - Is there a thread for how to do this?

5.Eibach Pro-kit springs (25mm drop) and Hotchkis sway bars (interesed to hear opinions if these are need with this car for road use. I've read these chassis are already very good and I my be wasting money on sway bars?)

6. Infinity stoptec brakes and rotors on all four to stop on a dime and look tough if nothing else

7. Wheel spacers on stock rims with engineering cert. to get rims closer to flush, mayber 15mm don't want to go rediculous? Will also improove grip with the additiona 30mm track.

8. K&N drop in filters

9. Invidia cat back system with Kenetix racing cats

10. Transmittion cooler upgrade (is this need for road use in QLD?)

11. Dyno tune - can these cars be tuned in stock mode or is a piggy back or flash chip needed

As I do these I will start a tread or post in DIY.

So excided, stupid slow boats, comon car get here :)

Max.

Hello,

I too just got my car on auction from Japan. I got a 2007 V36 Auto SP Sedan with 36,000kms

1) I have paid for a Stillen Gen 3 Ultra Long Intake

2) Getting Eibach Pro KIt Springs

3) Hotchkis sway bars (highly recommended by alot of V36 owners. They said to make this the number 1 priority over other mods)

4) Grounding kit, have not found one yet. Someone suggested transgo shift. Not too sure if I'll go that way. Alot of money to be spent.

5) Alarm & tyres would be done on compliance. Looking at getting Yokohama S-drives or advan sport

Wheel spacers seem like a good idea, might look into that.

Am told the car runs rich from factory and a tune might help. Still unsure about how the tuning gets done.

Update you as I go (if I remember :P)

      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

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      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.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      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.
