If every thing goes to plan I'll be giving the car a full service this Tuesday.

Don't waste monies on expensive spark plugs if your doing them

Bcpr6es for $5 each. If they only have the bcpr6es-11's then gap them to 0.8mm yourself.

$100+ cheaper than iridiums which aren't needed

Interesting. Why do you say iridiums aren't needed?

Did Poologger do that? If so i'm kinda pissed be didn't want to work on my car looks mint! can't wait to see it in person.

Na it wasnt him, not actually seen him in a while. Was old mate from wk cost me a onkyo amp and a pack of cigs plus I gave him a 5k sale ;)

Im gonna be a pain and ask "why is that?"

Copper is best conductor, almost as good as gold,and less likely to overheat

Platinum and iridium don't conduct as well and can overheat. They may last twice the distance if not overheated but cost 6 times more

Copper- best performance. Shortest life $5

Platinum- ok performance. Ok life $25

Iridium- ok performance. Better life $30

There isn't that much in it really performance wise but big diff in price.

So considering I don't drive much at all (probably 10,000kms per year) I should just get platinum/copper?

Also, morning all, nice, cold and wet this morning!

Ok so my oil filter was stuck on all of my tools couldn't get it off. They were just denting it pretty bad. Desperate to beat the rain I rung C-Red as I was just around the corner from them and Mark let us borrow a tool he has to loosen it. What a top bloke, saved the day. New filter is in and the oil has been changed. Can't recommend these guys enough!

    • 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.
