Racepace Full Exhaust Sound Video. Phone is pretty close to the exhaust and you can still hear the engine belts etc.

Smoke on startup was from from me false starting it just before. Screech after startup is from starter motor starting to play up.
Revving to 3k then 4k.

Do it :)

More PPL should. It's hard to tell how loud/soft the exhausts are but good to hear the exhaust note on different setups.

Just to dig up an old pic

Where/who did you get this lip from? I like the lights idea

Bought it off a member on here. It's a custom job with a series of led lights that someone has hooked up. Wouldn't be too hard to do just time consuming .

I'll probably remove the lights and just fill it up, though as the lights wouldn't be ADR approved to be used as brake lights.

Have found some time to get some more work done on the interior. A lot of the interior trim damaged from the roll cage as been replaced.


In the process decided to change a couple of standard bits. Found a seller on eBay (from UK) selling some leather bits and pieces so decided to give a few things a go while i'm assembling the interior.


Interior leather trim covers.

Had to get these stuck on with spray on adhesive and then trimmed very carefully with a stanley knife.

All done.

Fitted onto the car with all plastic clips replaced with new items.

If you look closely in this photo you can see the holes from the roll cage are visible. Will be putting the plates back on as an interim solution.


Leather passenger side handle cover (Velcros to the handle)

Carbon Centre Console Cover. This was a bitch to get on with self adhesive and I stuffed up the trimming of it a bit.

Am sure this will add at least 5kw by the time i'm done.


Also changed over the head unit and put some temporary 5" Response kevlar speakers into the front doors. Car's not a boom box but I gotta have something in there to listen to when I get her road registered and am stuck in Melbourne traffic I guess.

Going into Xmas I hear that Santa (in the form of the Missus) will be buying me some more interior pieces currently missing or damaged and some after market bits.


Hot tip for those with partners : 1. Load up your online part shop shopping carts with parts you want. 2. Tell your significant other, your login details and ask them to buy them as presents.



Still have to fix the drop in boost so got a hold of a standard intercooler for cheap.

IMG_0567_zpsc36b457b.jpg


All paint stripped now.

IMG_0571_zps8e31a3fa.jpg

Considered polishing it briefly but I'm going to put a mesh over the front bar anyway.




Back at Racepace for it's first (1000k) service, re-tune with the new intercooler and a few other minor things while it's in there.

RP don't see a problem with the current location of the Oil cooler so it will remain where it is.

Hey mate, was having another flick through your thread and saw this - my oil cooler was mounted in a very similar spot until last month when I was at the racetrack and nicked the ripple strip with the oil cooler. Only put a hole that was max 2mm in diameter but had to shut the motor down and tow the car home as I emptied a fair amount of oil. Had to buy a new oil cooler which I've now positioned in front of the radiator - never want that to happen again and would hate for it to happen to others as for such a small hole it caused me big dramas!

Interesting. We figured that if it managed to hit the oil cooler then the whole front floor of the car must be hugging the floor so i'd have bigger problems than just the oil cooler by then :)

Going by the below pic is your one mounted the same as mine, also how low is your car?

Thanks for the heads up, I'll get them to take a look at it while it's in.

I went out to the car tonight and took a pic, looks like it was bolted to the same bar that yours is. The car also isn't massively low, I've attached a couple of pics to show the location and the height!

Anyway, just thought I'd share my experience as something to bear in mind :)

Thanks for that, good information. I'll get the location changed before I do a track day!

Paint stripping the front mount intercooler looks awesome!

I too did the same.

Looking forward to see the result with the OEM Intercooler.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas. Car has had to spend the Christmas and New Years at the workshop as the seals for the leaking ABS pump are no where to be found in the country atm.

Santa was kind this year. Got new replacement left and centre vents to replace the usual broken old ones on 32's and some minor clips and screws that were missing.

IMG_0651_zpsabc67c76.jpg

Also got some Superior Auto Creative Carbon-Look Sun Visor Cover set to cover up the tatty OEM ones.

IMG_0648_zpsb350b5c3.jpg

Plan early next year is to start preparing the car for the engineers certificate and registration. Items to do before hand include repair underbody holes from roll cage and some minor body repair including some dodgy roof damage repair that was present when I first got the car. (will post pictures when I get her back)

Have a great new years everyone!

Sorry if I missed it but what size is your exhaust?

Also my greddy oil cooler is in the exact same spot for years, no issues with it there

Hi mate,

Racepace Exhaust is 3">3.5" Front Pipe then 3.5" all the way through.

Cool.

First update for 2014 - Car has had to spend all the holidays plus some at the workshop due to the pesky seals for the ABS pump being no where to be found.

Have replaced the pump with a second hand one for the time being so hopefully this one doesn't link.

Got bored waiting for the car so re-trimmed the front doors cards with leather covers to match the rears.

All the standard underbody plastic guards are back on including the OEM brake ducts. Still needs to be re-tuned with the replacement intercooler. Hopefully can pick it up this weekend. Itching to put all the interior bits in and start work to get it ready for registration.

    • 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.
