Ohh and btw , I got the standing ovation tonight in the T*** place circle work . I am sure you know where I mean , just up from the place you frequent.

Got it to do a rotate on the spot 4wd donut. Needed the wet rd to keep it going.

Now I know what the WRC cars at forrest place must have felt like in the old days of victory donuts. Hehehe

So the ricer is going already:( It will give you money to buy another:D

Nope , with the changes in the rules ie. no one is complying R32's and the uncertainty of the 15 yr old , I will wait for a while and see what happens.

Ken, I think my ring-lands have gone, will do a compression test on the weekend, see if it shows anything. But I drive sensibly too, don't know how it could happen:D

Yea , it seems to blow smoke on over run which means the vacuum could be drawing the oil up past the rings on overrun.

Could also mean that only your oil control rings are gone and the compression could be fine.

Ken, let me know when your doing it and I'll pop down, I'm just around the corner:D

Wondered why Danny has so many fried tyres:p

they normally stay out of that street but hear them rip up and down past there shop.

It is usually only a spur of the moment thing.

Any , I'm off cos the missus has just slammmmmmed the door which is a hint.:(

Oil control rings? Are they the second lot of rings on the piston? Is it bad? Should I put the forgies in sooner or later?

Nope , there usually the third set and are two thin rings with a wavy scraper thing. Not a real problem cos oil is cheap but it is telling you that the engine is getting tired. More boost and bigger terbs will kill it quick which is why I might as well get it done on mine now.

That and r and r the engine is like an 8 hr job.

Also finally found out mine has a nismo sprung twin plate and is in good nick so that's a bonus.

    • 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.
