Na after i got rear ended (car not me trev) and i dropped off car to be repaired im still in dispute with my insurance about quality of wk done but thats another story, but with the guys who did the work badly i pretty sure they took my car out for a thrash, so 1 of the reasons wanted it was limp mode (again trev car not me) but yeah if anyone wants to know where not to take a care for panel repairs i can let u know. I really wanted to name and shame them.

Morning all!.

Up bright and early planning out todays work which if the weather lets up will involve removing rear tint, cleaning rear seats and carpets in car (any tips on getting sand out of this stuff?) and if time permits, washing the exterior.

A friend of mine told me he'd be coming around this arvo to look at the tachometer but that's a 50/50 at best. I have access to the rest of my tools, which means I can finally Jack up the car!!!. I'm mentally preparing myself for that, as i've been told the RB25's are real tight at the back (Just like z00key).

Also, yeah, the quality of work done on z00key's car was just heartbreaking to see, could have done a better job with cable ties.

Ok, so after successfully removing the interior from the car, and cleaning it all, I also did a quick plastic restoration on some of the older bits, that had lost their colour and changed to a chalky white. Here's a quick little before and semi-after.

All that is left to do now is remove the rear tint (bubbly and gross), Fix the Coolant leak, Mesh the front grill , fix my tachometer and brace my Pod Filter down. Once that's done, I'll take it over the pits and see what they find/complain about.

Damn it, Just about to Jack up the Car and the rain comes back :( ... Go Away Rain, I'm pretending to know what i'm doing and you're not helping.

Actually, Hank, you do suspension work right? If you're ever in the Forrestfield/Wattle Grove area, the previous owner apparently had the suspension on the car "raised" to get it to pass the pits, but it's higher at the back, lower at the front. He had all the work done by pedders, I'd love to get your thoughts on what they've done.

Also, I want coil overs. Will wash cars for coil overs ;)

It's a split hose!!! I found the leak. The question is, how do I change this hose? I'll put some photos here.

It's a very small, short hose at the rear center of the engine.

Any one know which hose this is and the best way of tackling it? (from underneath or above?, tips?)

    • 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.
