nah i think the prob is the rubber stops havent been replaced - once i get those done and the wheels are aligned and balanced if that doesnt fix it i will look into what else can be done. I acknowledge that lowered cars are bouncy but its nothing like when i first got the car - if i can get it back to that standard a happy girl i will be ;)

mornin adrian..

the ITC we're talking about is the Apexi one.. the Apexi AFC does the same thing - looks way funky but I can't find anywhere to mount them for the flashy light effect.. hehe...

ride is gooooood ;)

is it pretty much standard - i aint hightening it anymore than a few mm's. The stops do make a difference - just where to get them from - i thought cred would of thought to replace them when they did my suspension!

I put mine in the glove box under my SAFC.... get brett to whack it there aswell perhaps? the further away frorm drunk peoples fingers the BETTER!!

niz my mate had them rubber stops in his subaru and they are prone to popping out, coz one of his did so one side of his car was lower then the other it looked wierd! i had a good laugh though! they called spring stoppers aren't they?

cool cool cam ITC sounds boss and i presume when you say AFC you talking bout the old skool 5 knob apexi one?

adrian ;)

yeah they are prone to breaking and wear n tear etc - but i swear they make a difference - well i guess i'll know for shore once i get new ones in to see if that fixes part of the problem. I think that may be the reason my cars front end has decided to sink a bit too ;) I could be way off the mark - but these are my theories.

yeah spring stoppers to help heaps! i was just mentioning how they do pop out maybe your front ones have popped out? if you have some in there already!

yall reckon i should ditch my apexi n1 front pipe and get a 3 inch dump/front made up or just get a dump made up and bolt onto front pipe?

adrian ;)

25GTT - I have a large fist that says "drunk ppl no play with stuff in car" ;)

Adrian - yea.. the old skool ones.. work ok.. the car came with them so they'll do till I decide to upgrade the whole computer..

Niz - pity c-red didn't think to do that, or tell u they may need to do that.. some things don't change maybe? found out mine are std coils and shocks.. my coils have been heated so have thought about changing them, wheels world quoted round $500 for a set of whitelines that would sit the car about 30mm lower.. but with the shocks being nearly 100,000km old i think i'll just hang out and get some cool coilovers.. :D

yeah i wouldve liked coilovers - out of price range tho.

I was actually told by another mechanic exactly what had to be done to my car in great detail - including replacing the stops and stuff. just annoys me these things dont picked up - i mean you've got the car there u might as well do this - makes you extra money while your at it. I shouldve asked but the thing is all the other suspension shops were going to do it as a package so i just thought cred were going to do it as well - cant complain about the price but i wouldve preferred to pay a bit more and get the whole lot done and outta the way. but anyway nbot everything goes to plan.

he was the one i talked to in the first place - its my fault i shouldve asked i know not everyones a mind reader but its just the suspension places did as part of package assumed he would too - its good when i worked in welshpool and it was close to drop my car in but now its too far away to keep going back and getting stuff done - prefer somewherein osb park.

Adrian - why not just get a dump pipe to suit the apexi one? be alot cheaper right?

coilovers are cool.. ;) adjustable stuff is fun... but yea - probably wouldn't waste the $$ on it...

Niz - maybe u should chase jash about it.. he's been pushing to get customers - this could be a good test?

    • 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.
