I'm a fitter/machinist Dan. I have helped other people out previously with different projects along the way. I love helping people, however the biggest reward is the ones who truly and genuinely appreciate your time. 

The last guy I helped I realised the extra cash is just a sweetner, as unfortunately the appreciation was more of an expectation... I struggled alot with motivation. 

 

However the guys who give good feedback, it honesty wouldn't worry me if I got paid or not lol 

 

Thanks for the feedback and compliments as usual mate ?

OK so as long as I'm really appreciative you will come to my place and finish my car, sounds good. Hell I'll eveb fly you down here ;)

Quality makes sense given profession.

Sounds good to me man! Lets make it happen ?

I've always been interested in custom car fabrication/sheet metal work etc since I was an apprentice. Did an advanced welding course to learn some more about tig welding and the sheet metal, I just make up as I go along.

Maybe I can have SAU build my car. 

Timmy can build and fab, @Dose Pipe Sutututu can tune it, and we can do a GoFundMe to pay for it all lol  

Oh shit! Here we go. It's happening ?

 

You get a free car build, you get a free car build and you and you ??

 

Never thought of a gofundme for something so important! ?

and while we at it, we can fund the tuner (me) a F30 335i M-Sport with a factory LSD lol...

I will contribute to that a fund a built R33

While we're all in the giving mood! Why not? 

Yeah it works well, I give my R33 to the fund, somehow someone trades/strips/sells that and turns that into a BMW for me, and i"ll tune the car, and you get paid for fab work :)

All the extra cash can go into our pockets.. what an idea, just as good as that LMCT plus site!

What could possibly go wrong!?

Very minor update. 

 

It drives. Drove it approx 10m out the back to give it a wash. 

 

Still a few things to sort out, like rusty rotors, ordered the rest of my exhaust components today, a dual flow meter setup for my tig regulator so I can back purge this exhaust, double check everything and off to get a tune. 

 

Thanks for reading ?

Dyno when? 

I'd like to say early November. I've got a weeks holiday coming up, so unfortunately there won't be any progress then as we're going away. 

 

I'd estimate 3 or 4 days to make the exhaust, back purging everything as I go, including modifying the engine crossmember for clearance. 

 

Another few hours in a wheel alignment (currently in track setup) too before I trailer it down there, so then I can drive it home once finished.

Which page/post has the negine specs so I can review first lol 

Oh and what dyno does he run.

This engine is a stock P12 SR20VE. Stock cams, stock head, springs etc. Stock bottom end. However has been shimmed to 0.01mm factory specs. 

 

Engine is only running the alternator, no P/S pump, water pump or A/C

4-1 to 3" collector headers

3.5" - 3" mafless intake pipe

Haltech Elite 1500

That's basically it man. 

 

This is basically an interim engine, partially to make the car more enjoyable for me and so I can teach the wife (or she can teach me) how to drive on the track lol. 

 

Then I'll finish off the P11 engine. 

 

Jez uses a Mainline Dyno from memory.

    • 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.
