So it stopped running while you owned it or it has never run while you owned it? Was there any significant event that caused it to stop running?

First things first: check for fuel pressure, check for injector pulse and check that you have spark. On an RB you can simply unbolt the CAS and turn it by hand. You can then hear the injectors click and watch plugs spark without the motor cranking.

Next check for compression. I have a feeling it may have bent some valves when it slipped the belt, but i am only speculating.

Verdict: if it has fuel pressure, injectors pulse, has spark and has compression then it SHOULD run. Cam timing could stop it if it were majorly out, as could major intake leaks.

Outside of the above you should be able to find the issue with those tests.

suggest you fit a timing belt kit and try to start the car? IF the motor is f**ked you would need those parts anyway as part of a rebuild , once you have got it all back together then turn it over by hand first

yeah it stoped running while i was driving and ive found its a tooth out on the exhaust side.

Yep that's my plan for next weekend get it timed and see if she'll run.

rb engines, like any other 4 stroke engines.

if it has skipped a tooth or possibly more, could definitely stop it running.

yeah thanks mate i wasn't sure if the rb's were really sensitive to being a tooth out or not but yeah still could be more teeth out on the crank.

maybe check the sprockets on the inlet and exhaust cams and find out what may have causedthe belt to jump otherwise it may do it again

yeah next weekend when i pull it all apart ill see if i can see the cause of the problem and put a new timming beld kit on

welcome to the world of low mount turbos lol

If u got access to a hoist will help from the bottom. Take this opportunity to change the turbos or dumpipes if u need to while its being taken apart

Is that what the problem was, a blown propellor?

yeah the rear propeller on the rear turbo :(

everyone told my what a flamin mongrel of a job it is but agh it couldn't be that bad but it is !! hahah

what im trying to do is take the head off in the car but i think the intake side is going to be even harder.

So is it turbo or timing (cam gear) related? Or both?

Whys the head coming off?

its turbo and compression related thats why im taking the head off to see what kind of damage there is and to see what course of action im going to take rebuild or just get it going till i have enough money to do a full rebuild

I managed to pull the rear turbo off. Short 13mm combo spanner helps with the dump pipe; tedious as hell.

How the hell did you get the front turbo off? It looks impossible lol

haven't got it off yet almost though and i know what you mean i was sitting there yesterday thinking what the actual f**k lol

    • 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.
