I was first wondering why you'd want to put a turbo from a Territory in your Skyline...

They run a GT35/40R - so would go pretty good on an RB25! Acknowledge he has an RB26DETT from the looks of the sig pic....but I had one on an Rb30ET and it ran a 12.6

My vote is on an e53 X5 3.0D - although in your price range you'd be looking at one with around 200km on it.

The petrol V8's are a beast - you could pick up a 4.4is or a 4.6is (which is a stroked Alpina motor :3some: ) and fit a tow kit and an X-pipe in the exhaust and you'd have one sweet cruiser that sounds mental and does a 1-100 in 6.1 seconds. Bonus is they have self levelling rear air bags, so great for towing. They will drink, approximately 20L/100km, but because they're thirstier than the diesels you can pick them up for the 25k mark with much less km's than a diesel generally, and then you can get a liquid vapour injection kit fitted for 5k which rounds you out to 30k nicely.

I know all this cos i've been looking at buying one recently and spent hours upon hours trying to make the numbers stack up but in the end i do too much commuting to justify the running costs. PM me if you're interested in this idea though because I can tell you what to look out for when inspecting.

      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

      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.
