I know this question has probably been asked before, but im not too sure on how up to date the information might be, so i thought i would ask you guys as i have been dicked around so much i just want my car back :D

My 25 blew thanks to some dodgy actuator welding provided by a workshop which will remain nameless... Ive been told alot of things, but im relatively new to this whole car scene so i dont know what to believe...

What is the best option to go for in this situation? rebuild? drop in another 25? 26? conversion? and most importantly, who can i go and see that knows what they are talking about and can do quality workmanship at a reasonable price?? I just want my baby back on the road its been almost 2 months now :(

If anyone can give me some advice, and some sort of idea on what each option is going to cost, id appreciate it..

Thanks alot guys

thx alot for ur input guys, geez we are talkin alot of money...

is there anything else i can do that might be cheaper? im not looking for mass hp or anything i just want my car back on the road. its not going to be a big racing machine.....

yeah im pretty sure the rings are gone....but the engine did seize mid cruise due to no oil. the actuator weld came off so no wastegate = big pressure buildup = turbo seal destruction = where did my oil go? oh its everywhere, look at the pretty fire.......

we did get the engine going again after about 20-30 min, but the infamous knock knock tap tap was audible from inside the car

cheers boosted 26 for ur support....

That statement isn't quite logical, with no wastegate actuator you wouldnt get any boost at all, or close to none.

    • 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.
