Anyone know what’s meant to happen with this pipe. I know that the connector for the rear passenger foot wells is missing but I don’t know what’s up with this pipe and where it goes. My climate control has been blowing hot air since I got the car, so is it where the climate control thermometer goes?

There's a small slotted vent in the dash.  The image you show is for R32.  The vent is in the lower right of the radio/air-con surround on those.  The temp sensor is in a plastic fitting behind that, connected to a hose that goes back to that inlet on the A/C.  You can see it in the top right corner of your first image.  27054M.  27621E.  The wiring loom to the sensor is not shown.

So the thermostat goes in the ends of the pipe which is in the lower left side of my photo? And what do you mean by the vent is in the lower right of the radio/air-con? The last owners took the ac pump out of the car so I don’t know what exactly I am missing ? what would I need if I were to reinstall the whole ac set up back into the car?

Another thing is even when I turn off the whole climate control I’m still getting hot air blown around but I can still change where it gets blown to so I’m guessing it’s doesnt have anything to do with the actuators. What do you think could be the course for that too? Here are a couple photos of under my dash too.

I said "radio/air-con surround".  The removable dash trim that goes around all the stuff in the centre of the dash.

As to where the temp sensor connects to.....if you can see the hose and sensor in the top right corner of the pats image you posted, and can see a spot on your climate control/heater module where a ~1/2" plastic hose would connect, then that's where it goes.  It is quite likely that it is the connection in your first photo.....but let's face it, how am I going to have a mental image of what that looks like 1/2 stripped apart.  I've only ever seen it looking at it upside down with everything still installed.

As to the hot air.....either the climate control computer can't cope with having half of its inputs (ie the internal temp sensor) not connected or the hot water tap is stuck open.  Either of these are quite likely.

As to whether you can ever make the system work again....who's to say?  Just about any little or large part of it might be broken or missing, including wiring. All we can do is wish you luck.

    • 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.
