Only one of those things is a test, the rest is prep work

True, but it is a list of what they did to prepare the block, I was surprised at some of the things they have to do to get it ready.

Taking a while to sort the problems - they must have known they gave you an unfinished product.

My shop wouldn't bloody give me the car until they had done 200km's on the engine. 150km's were on the dyno and 50km's were road testing.

But I am glad they did that.

What's the result of the work Pete, leak found?

I can only assume it was that hose, it must have only leaked under load as I could not see it and they had a apparently noticed some scum or something but it did not show up until after a long time under pressure ??

Have seen that before.. Leaks under hard throttle only

From what was said there was no noticeable power gains with the addition of the larger dump pipe, said he took the exhaust off and there was some good gain. Very disappointing at this stage but as long as it is going hard to 7500-8000rpm without farting and I do not have to top up every day, all good :yes:

    • It's been a little over a decade since I bought the S15. As I did on my socials, I'll share some of my favorite pictures from over the years further below. If you haven't realised, pretty much all the pictures in my posts are ones I've taken.  In terms of updates, I don't have pictures, but I acquired a near-perfect pair of fog lights from a friend of mine, so those got swapped in for the pair I already had. As for the JZX110, I just got it back from being fixed. A few weeks back, I was on the highway when I suddenly drove over something with very little time to react. It was probably the size of a soccer ball, but it went under the car and banged into the underside pretty loudly. I pulled over and realized the fluid leaking was fuel, and of course, it was right near my exhaust. This required replacing the fuel tank. If you happen to be in the same predicament, thankfully this car shares a fuel tank with the JZS171, IS200, and IS300, so it wasn't too painful to replace. Enjoy some pictures as mentioned above, including the carnage from the fuel tank and a bonus picture I came across which shows how ridiculously shiny the Bugels are on the 110. So many more pictures I could share of the S15 but this will do for today, enjoy.
