Its at all performance garage getting fab work done, heres some pics off his fb page. Change of plan on the tune as well going to be tuned at efi and going all out with a vipec or haltech not sure which yet but will speak to the tuner and pick one.

Wow looking awesome! And man yeah, that setup with a ViPEC would be pretty much getting into my perfect road car territory :D (possible with AWD, as even then traction loss would be a thing haha).

Cheers for the update :)

A bit of a update, still slowly coming along, southport exhaust done a absolute shit job and charged a arm and a leg for it so thats had to be fixed up. On a positive note santa wasn't to bad and left a nitto cam gear cover, cusco brake stopper, nismo clutch bracket and a haltech plug in, also got a puppy rottweiler.

Gonna paint the bay? That chassis rail also looks a bit worse for wear. Gonna give the car some love or is it all engine?

Never been one for the show and shine side of things, car is being built for bulk skids not for picking up 16yo that like shiny things

That exhaust looks mint (as well as all the other fabrication), but I gotta ask, why no screamer? :P Haha. I'm sure it wouldn't be too loud lol.

Car looks great, going to be an epic street car, can't wait to hear it.

What happened to the gold cam covers?

Cheers mate, the wastegate pipe can be shifted to the left and i have a blanking plate for the vband on the dump pipe so can have the option of a screamer. Still have the gold cam covers but had these ones on while everything was being fitted up. Having dramas with removing the comp cover off the turbo. The fabricator is being a c*nt too and wants nothing to do with it which makes me think he's done something to it when welding the elbow on. One thing after another with this car. 3 workshops ive had dramas with now since building this car.

Which fabrication place is giving you troubles?

Mick from apg, his work looks good from a distance but so much was missed and he said he ran out of time but he had the car for 7 weeks, no beads on the end of cooler piping, no bracket for the oil catch can just jammed in between the headlight assembly and fuse box, fittings not welded on that i asked for. Too top it off i waited 2hrs on the day i told him to pick it up because he slept in then said i never told him i was going to be there, it was a Wednesday at 10 30 when he turned up too. He's not bad on the welder just a brain dead c*nt

So it lines up his intercooler pipe work like the first pic on this page. I don't know but thanks for the clarification on who you were talking about.

It's hard to find places that do quality work, on time for a good price. Never hard to find someone who will take ur money though lol.

Can i ask why ya trying to rotate the comp housing mate?

He left the core with the oil drain facing up, so thats not going to work. We tried to unbolt the comp cover to spin the core but its that tight it wont move. Mick told me the original o ring was split so he replaced it. I asked him what he did to it and he takes no responsibility which makes me think he's done something to it.

Took the turbo to mta on the gold coast and he removed the comp cover and showed me the o ring that the smoker fitted, was too big which jammed it tight also the wrong type which would have perished, another set back now waiting for the correct o ring from merica. Sick of paying brain dead c*nts when they obviously aren't up to the task

Sorry to hear dude :(

Its faaaaarkin hard finding decent workshops these days for some reason?

Shame ya weren't in Sydney i coulda sorted it out for ya ;)

Keep ya chin up mate you've come this far!

This thing is gunna soil undies!

    • 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.
