Hi guys, have been thinking about parting with my car. Have been for a little while, but the thought of seeing it been taken away crushes me, hence why it's still sitting in the garage. The bottom line is i have 'rediscovered' game fishing, and can not afford to participate in motorsports and fish as well. The car has slowly been built up to a car that would be great fun in hill climbs and super sprints etc. it's pretty much imaculate paint and panel wise. It makes 320kw's on pump at 17psi. It has bilstein shocks, adjustable arms inc boost auto modded front LCA's. G4 356mm 8 pots up front, oem calipers on rear with aftermarket rotors etc. fully stripped/ painted out interior with sparco pro 2000 seats and matching harnesses & kidney pads. The wiring loom has been striped down, have done quite a bit of simplifying, the interior is very neat, high quality finish color matched to exterior. It has a 6 point bond cage. Doors have had intrusions removed, all screens lexan except for front screen. Car still retains a heater. Custom front splitter/bar, also has rear air guide from diff to rear bar. Origin Wing/japspeed adjustable wing. Wing & boot bracing. 18x9.5 + 25 all round. I could go on for ever and a day. It just needs a wheel alignment and a set of tires really. Anyway I knows it's a small market and it probably doesn't appeal to most. The fit and finish and quality will not disappoint.

It will be a sad day when she sells mate, hopefully someone on here buys it. Pity you're packing it in, was hoping to see you in NSW for World Time Attack this year..

If I hadn't just spent a fortune getting mine up and running I would be interested for sure. Should be lots of interest, very nicely built car, good luck with the sale :)

I live it and Breath it Justin, tassie is spoilt with great fishing. The boat is up for some maintenance if the bill isn't too high I might keep the datto ultimately I'd like a Evo 8 or 9, something totally street able but capable of 58's at basky. It's doable in nearly a stock car. Ray Tuttle has done it.(Rickards at the wheel) A red Evo with RPF01's would go down nicely but 4 door and 4 cylinder isn't quite as cool as the datto. Will see how it pans out. I think I'm just going to have to lower my expectations with the datto a little just to get it going sometime soon.

NO, DON"T DO IT :spank:

lol so far i've had a lot of that...... one good bit of news I've had since i have had my head elsewhere is the Ol cheap Achillies 123's are dirt cheep and fast? well fastish anyway 3rd place at the time attack just gone was on them and summers is talking them up big time

I didn't know nick sold them nowelly. But on further investigation they are starting to become more popular and they are getting a good rep, a lot saying up with RSR's for less money. Last time I checked R1Rs were way to many $$$$$ 350ish for a streety, no thanks.

Yeah, I can understand that... an absolute obsession.

I used to hang out with the marlin/dolphin/trophy sport fish guys in Mexico and around the Caribbean while I was working on Motor Yachts. Those guys are nuts about 2 things- shooting and big game fishing. It was amazing to see some of the tournaments... 40 or 50 x 40 foot+ sport fish boats heading out single file in the mornings, then they all head back in the same time. Some of the guys were crew, only there for reeling in duties??? if they win or place, the 'reeling' guy can get $50-60k just for an afternoons work on the rod (plus they all had really big right arms).

It's funny you say that, I've been looking at EVO's lately to replace the race wagon stagea one day.... mmmm black EVO 9, gold GTC face 2's, carbon lip and the right amount of low.

.... Don't sell the datsun, you know you love it.

Yeah game fishing in the states and in Mexico is insane, must do a trip someday, big yellowfin out of Mexico, or "cows" as they call them. Yeah for me a Red Evo with RPF01's, one day. As for the datto, I'm unlikely to sell it because it just won't bring the money I'd need to part with it. I also want to feel the modifications I made, I have made a lot since I last tracked it. I have copped a bit if stick for even mentioning it lol. But one day I will own a Evo, even if its as well as the datto

That's exactly what i said. Take it for a day out at basky and you will forget about selling it pretty quickly. On that note i am hopefully going to have my car tuned next month and will be organizing a quiet track day for a bit of a "run in/learn how to drive your car again" session if anyone is interested. ie. jack lol.

    • 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.
