FIIIIIIIInally got the car tinted. why i didn't do that before summer i do not know.

anyway when they guys were tinting it they found that the top of the window was no longer sealing.

i knew the rubber was coming up, but the actual sealant between the window and glass has failed. water would be coming through it this winter OR, it would pop out... that would not be coos as its a genuine wiperless window and irreplaceable.

top ruber just falling away, would not reseat at all.

bottom edgings are shit aswell.

i plan to paint the car or at least roof at some point so i will be ordering a full set of genuine rubbers, seals and surrounds at that point, but for now i just need to make it functional.

window out, quick rust check, there are a couple of little spots but nothing that cant wait untill the proper paint.

We cleaned it all up and put some treatment on it and resealed it all up properly.

new seal

un sure what i want to do at the base, i have ran the seal under the old metal frames, i will be re-using these when i get genuine seals, but for now i have just left the tabs overlapping the new rubber, the only way it can be blended and sealed without genuine bits. it will do for now.

the little misfire reared it ugly head again, so i decided to rip open the afms,

the solder looked fine tbo, didn't seem cracked or loose.

but i re soldered them anyway, i honestly added the smallest amount of solder, and resealed them back up.

this is a shit job, cutting away sealant and trying to reseal them without it looking shit house.

but yeah, misfire completely gone, so happy when simple things work.

haha, yeah their allot easier to tint without the wiper too :)

Flex fuel... maby, not for now.

remembering im still running a stock motor, stock turbos, stock injectors....for now.

pulled the spark plugs out for new ones, they are about 2+years old and looked healthy which is nice.

Josh at forge was nice enough to get me the haltech so we hooked it up. its got the tune from his stock gtr so it was drivable, feels sharper already, it will be booked in for a tune with Garage7 to get it up and boogieing. then I will look at new turbos-dumps-fuel pump-injectors - maby a new cam - yada yada... at that point I will look into flex.

it is no longer a daily so I can deal with the availability and added maintenance, so I should...

must resist using antilag with stock turbos :P

im very interested in the tune difference with the same boost from stock computer to the haltech. im not expecting more highend realistically but keen on the midrange. I will report back once its done to compare.

Thanks man,

I'm eagerly awaiting a time i can get it into Garage7 for a proper tune, very keen to drive it finally knowing it has a proper tune. Up until now it has had its MINES ecu, while it had the 8000rmp rev limit on the box you just never know what its actually tuned for. like I said im not expecting more power specifically as I will essentially be running the same boost (depending of the AFRs it yields) of about 12-13 psi.

It made 258 rwkw last time which was quite respectable for stock everything except exhaust and pods.

im more hoping for the midrange and the sharpness and general driveability without being a rich pig like it was, and of course having the safety features the HALTECHs have so I can give it more without worrying so much.

just waiting for a booking now.....

    • 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.
