OK so as most builds go I brought a rolling shell just for the Teins in it (to go in my coupe). Few days later Ive worked out its preety streight/rust free for a 93 and a spec M JDM. by now I couldnt part it ouT and scrap the bare shell so I looked for a cheap motor/box to slap it together, sell her and hopefull not loose to many $$..Found a bent shell with a built auto and stock rb25det (no hot or cold side) for a good price.
Went to check out the condition and inds 260 cams, miles of head work etc... so this build just got a little out of control.

Being a manual shell getting an auto Ive put the auto wireing harness in, from the 2dr donor, and modified it to suit the 4dr.
Most of the body is now sorted, Got S2 front and dash, Coupe Backseat (cleaner look then the 4dr) and the box and short motors in.
Still to fit the Prescission 5858, FFP & Front mount. Sort out a Fuel system and ECU.
Oh and all this is going on in the driveway (got another 10Yr project in the garage lol)

So got the turbo in the other day. Manifold was a major pain in the ass but. Still need to get a banjo bolt to hook the oil lines up and blockof or bypass the water feed (precision is oil only) though. Exhaust is in and hooked up

PSteer resivour had to be relocated a bit to clear turbo piping

    • 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.
