Got my first defect on friday night, the melbourne cops are up here at albury/wodonga at the moment so they actually/half know what there talkin about compared to the local cops. I got done for bov, boost controller, fmic and pod they didnt see the apexi power fc can you get done for that and i was lucky as i have no cat but my exhaust isnt too loud which is good :-(

Yes, you get done for having an aftermarket ECU..Affects emissions (same reason for a boost controller) and so are illegal in Vic, unsure if it is in NSW though..

Bad luck mate, but it was alright considering they didn't get you for the PFC or the cat (or lack thereof~)

its bullsh!t tho, correct me if im wrong or dont know what im talking about, we have better emmissions with a turbo than with a NA car... so if we have an aftermarkey ECU or boost controler we'll have the same emitions as them? or is it different emmitions all together?

No see the issuse with an aftermarket ECU is the fact that your altering the Air/Fuel. When most tuners chage your maps the smooth them out and generaly the car runs richer, especialy in high boost applications etc. When you alter the A/F your producing more gasses from your exhaust. Thats why it's an EPA issue.

My GTR has recently had two full inspections by the RTA QLD (Passed) and another one in the ACT in the last few months. Zorst is the only thing I changed to pass ACT. It's modded fairly well but is safe and passed the emissions test. However frightned if the CF bonnet is lifted by the VIC/NSW police. BoV's, Catch Can, C west wing, CF bonnett, EVC III, torque n drag controllers, pods, FMIC, PFC etc.

If a car is passed in other states whats the go on Random vehicle inspections interstate. I'd be classed as a smart arse if I reason that it's fine where I'm from. Do I go back to ACT or are you required to get it passed in the state which has the problem? Do the cops re-imburse the inspection fee's if they're wrong. Presenting an engineers cert help?

BTW - I drive it every day in Canberra and have not been harrased by the local police or RTA.

      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

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      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.
