Pretty simple,

Take the screws out from the bottom of the trim

Then there will be a screw at the bottom of the sunken door handle (one that you pull the door shut with) underneath the plastic circle (get that out with a flat blade screwdriver)

Then the tricky part if you havent done it before, is getting the trim surrounding the door handle (the door handle that OPENS the door, not the one to pull the door shut), basically it just pulls off, but its seriously tight, and you WILL think its going to break lol

I used a claw hammer with a rag to lever it off, but make sure you do it from the side to the front of the car.

Then it should just lift off upwards (the top hooks over the door sill)

Unless somebody wants to correct me, im fairly sure thats it :thumbsup:

lol yer well i dunno how to explain it. the actuator wasn't hooked in so i put that back in with a nut of the bottom. it appears to be locking from view but its not actually locking.

spayed a little bit of CRC and it fixed the problem but for how long im not sure.

As far as I know, that's normal with most cars...or at least cars around that era. I know my parently VP Berlina does the same thing, not sure about my R33 though coz my high beams are f**kING PATHETIC while my low beams are blinding lol

ok so i couldnt find anything in search but my headlights... when i switch them to high beam the low beam cuts out?? its this normal? im thinking its not meant to happen,, any advise?

Yes that is right. Low beam and high beam work independently of each other. Theres a tutorial here somewhere that tells you how to make them both work with high beam but

As for your locking problem.... Do you mean the door lock tab in the trim moves as if to indicate it's locked but the door still opens? If so pull the latch off and see if everythings all good in there

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      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)?

      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.
