Well, yesterdya, after many months of waiting, i took delivery of my car fom the docks...

After waiting there for hours cause their computers were down! I finally had the keys... you shoulda seen how fast i ran to the car!

I opened the door, and got in, shaking with excitment. No idea what to do first... start it, look under the hood?

First thing i noticed, was, AVCR stolen :)..

Started it perfect first go, jumped out, popped the hood, all looked how it was meant to, got in, drove out..

The security guy who gave me the past out signalled me to smoke em, so, ofcourse i did... 2nd gear sideays. Shaking harder than ever, heart punding harder than ever, and something else was harder than ever ;)

Get to the front gate, in hysterics. Quickly get my licence back, my dad is like ?WOW! jumps in.

He says, now take it over and park it. i say.. like ****! im driving it.

Take it out on the straight at the front, and flatten it, 1st spins and 2nd is slammed in like 2 seconds, still smoking, sideways past all the truckies.. snap 3rd, still spinning. i freak out a bit thinking, i dont want to stack here. i have no insurance!

the look on my dads face, who drives a HSV Clubsport with 240 odd rwkw, and says "F**k... are skylines meant to be this fast?!" hehehe...

Anyway, just thought id show you all, and tell you that its mental fast. its running 1 bar (14psi) off a hks actuator, off a nissan turbo, bigger than standard tho. With teh AVCR, im guessing it woulda been maybe 18psi? anyway, now all i have to do is work out what is done to it.

The suspension and driveline setup is mental. its tight as and goes where you point it. front and rear swaybars and strut braces, HKS coilovers, and 2way lsd (that works!)

Shes at Carizma now being complied. omg i cant wait. They say they will start work on tuesday.. should be about 2 weeks from now.

Here is the beasty...

(i dont know what the (SAM) sticker is, but ive decided, thats my cars name, hehehe)

      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.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.
