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?

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
