Mostly bonnet and right B pillar then there’s other imperfections in other panels, am I asking for too much here?

 

When mine was painted I couldn’t find any imperfections

 

Something is very wrong with yours

I'd be taking it back to the painter,  you payed good money to have the car painted properly. Maybe take the car to other paint shops and ask their opinion on what the cause would be (in their experience) before you go back, so that you have an understanding.  
I wouldn't accept anything but perfection, if that's what you were paying for.



Including the insurance payment we would have spent $13,500 on the paint and repairs

Nope, should be perfect! Specialy if they paint exotics sports cars....

Haven’t.

Yeh but not sure if it’s from when running which I think is unlikely or once shut down

 

Id run a leak down and comp test once warm just to be sure theres nout else wrong.

I only started testing the oil after building the engine and it’s always had dilution.

 

Must be an injector then, sticking on shut down. Do u get alot of popping and banging on over run?

as unbelievable as it may sound....

Here is our paint issue it’s hard to see but it looks like it was sanded with 80 grit before spraying

Yeah I reckon youre pretty right on that Martin. I used to make polished aluminium bull bars. 24grit to take off the top of the weld. Blend the corners with 120 on 7 1/4" sander. Then to 180 and 360 with orbitals before double polishing. One slip with the heavy grit or a dig (sander not flat) and it was all over. Deep looking swirl mark scratch. If you tried to polished them out with the hard buff wheel it would scallop out the Ali and you'd have a pocket that showed up like dog balls in the sun.

I asked Larry Kosilla what he thinks it is and this is what he said

"Hey bud

It looks like the wetsanding was not done properly :(

Or the paint could have stretched when painting...who knows. But it needs to be fixed by the painter. Yikes!"


 


Larry is one of, if not the BEST Detailers in the world and is who I turn to whenever I have a query about detailing cars.

Both of my brothers worked at a paint shop and have both said stretching but where there are cross hashes they reckon poor sanding, who knows?? Phil’s seen it and agrees it needs attention probably December or in the new year tbh

    • 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.
