that one pictured is a 90 series (twin turbo, non vvti 1J)...

hmm. i don't know much about it.

Anyways.....the same question but for the above car....how much are they going for in the market...the 90series?

Seing no-one has helped so far i'll be happy to lend a hand.

The car pictured is a JZX90 Mark II built from 1993-1996.

You CAN import and comply these however there are only 2 compliance plate holders for JZX series cars in Australia that i am aware of. A place in Brisbane and Auto wholesale in W.A.

Compliance right now is a total joke on these cars but they are seriously awesome, best 4 door sedan in their price range and even better than most twice, 3 times+ their price.

Good luck with it all, PM me or dojobi if you need any more help, we seem to be the resident JZX experts :stupid:

JZX 90's are avialable as I just got mine complied by Jim at JB WA and it is a magic car,

Contact him on Phone 0411 693256 as per DOTR's contact details or email him on [email protected]  

Link to find who has what is http://raws.dotars.gov.au/rawswebpublic/rawpubmain.asp

Hey man do you know if he has 100 plates as well?

How much is he charging for compliance on 90's/100's?

Cheers, hopefully will be getting my 100 at the end of the year, need to save a bit more to get myself a manual 100 :flamed:

100 Plates are avialable off Frank from CAM and his contact number is on the link but when serious email me your personal address and I will pass it on as I see then once a week.

Have a look at the yard's any way as I am just trading my 90 in when I get a 100 due to the pricing is so good.

They have a manual 90, 60,000 klm, 18's, lowered, manual and TRD stickers by current trends and they only want $19,990 to get the cars on the road, it was also the test car is is straight as.

http://www.autowholesale.com.au/ has all the info.

Ali there's no one compliancing 90 series atm. We've got a client who's desperately trying to find a compliancer as well.

Either way, check the RAWS website to see when compliance is available and from who.

Whilst the 100's are nicer.. I reckon the 90's in many ways have much of the same qualities about them, and that much cheaper. They don't look that much different on the inside, and pretty much slightly older revision of the same engine...with a few power upgrades I couldn't imagine them being too different to drive.

I'd say they'd be a bit more different than you'd expect. They lost a turbo and added VVTi, so instead of max torque at 4800rpm in the JZX90, you get it at 2400rpm in the JZX100. I can see what you're saying though. The 90s are a very good cheap alternative.

JZX90's are an awesome car, but JZX100's are a step up again and they have come down A LOT in price so are worth it.

Interior in the 100 is much newer and has genuine carbon fibre trim standard :aroused: plus it looks much nicer.

As dojobi said, 1 less turbo, VVTi (exhaust), better suspension set-up and looks a shite load hotter!

Cant wait for mine! DRIFTT which company did you buy your car through in japan? Just need to start looking into finding an auction website that is decent who i can buy the car through in japan.

Will be good to see another 100 on the Perth roads so let us know when you get it, less than 10 JZX100's road registered in W.A. right now, which is good, keeps them rare :headspin:

I got my Mark II JZX90 through Mark Hocking from www.mytrading.org and Jim complyied it, I will give it till the end of the year then get a 100, I want to tinker with the 1JZ-GTE first and see what hp I can get on a budget.

I do love my 90 so it will have to be a Manual 100 to make me sell.

just b4 raws came in i paid $5000 to have my jzx90 complied under SEVS and that wasn't with tyres.

DRIFTT i got 226rwkw on 12psi out of my manual 90 with a few mods.

Power wise the mods are:

Power FC

Cat back exhaust

High flowed steel wheel turbos

Airpods

HKS side mount i/c

Blitz dual sbc

I am so pissed atm.... payed mid to high 20s for the car as it was and have poured probably easy 15k into it and i haven't had one enquiry about it yet. :( atm seems i'll be lucky to get even low 30s for it?

    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
