Hi guys , just wonder if there is any one who has a spare valve body for a C34 S2 triptronic box in Melbourne , as MV auto`s want $400 deposit plus the price of the body which is way over the top. I only need it until I get the change over unit back from Adelaide. thanks.

Fair enough too, I just returned the only spare RE4 valve body they have left, as apparently us Stagea blokes don't return them if they only ask $100 deposit.

You ARE getting it back after all. ;)

Who's doing the install for you? I have an entire RE4 from a 34 here I could perhaps sell you cheap.

sounds good to me Scotty , Its actually for Adams silver 34 , not sure who is going to do the job , any recommendations ?.

I`ll give him a ring and come back to you .but I would probably say yes at this stage , That reply was what they told adam too and hence the price hike.

Dunno if Scotty would mind me suggesting Scotty's Customs for the job as he did mine for me while it was on his hoist getting a custom 3" stainless zorst. They put the money back into your account the day they receive it. As Scotty mentioned apparently they have 10 around Aus that no one has bothered returning. I was waiting for mine since Christmas. It's worth doing though, on my rwd it chirps first to second in D. Scotty also bulit me a fantastic exhaust too. Don't mind saying I like getting underneath to look at it a few times.

Well here is the progress , valve body arrived from MV automatics and we decided to do it ourselves . Used a mates hoist , changed the valve body , 12 ltrs new oil and 3 hours work and all done .

It has changed the car dramatically from a slush box to a real nice feel on gear change , no delay slip or any nasty stuff , just real crisp change . Well worth the money . the end .

    • 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.
