Air shocks were screwed. Their design is you cant replace the shock, so for a 15 year old car, they were gone. Couldnt get a roady here (not dodgy) so I sold it. I was too honest about the car and only got 8k for it.

It was a nice car to drive around illegally yes :P

New owners are Paul and Melissa

It will be Melissa's (Miss nismo) car

They should have it in 2-3 weeks

Cheers Darrin.

The Stagea arrived in our driveway on Monday afternoon, after leaving Southport about the same time last week (apparently the transporter came across a flooded bridge and had to find another route).

I have spent the public holiday today cleaning it all up and familiarising myself with this piece of family wagon magic. The white pearl colour is simply amazing when freshly washed.

Engine runs extremely smooth and quiet, with the nismo exhaust giving only just a noticable note, fantastic.

The premium Addzest sound system sounds fantastic (Bass engine under passenger seat, and Digital sound processor under driver's).... although some of it will end up being binned (Sat Nav and TV is in Japanese and the head unit will need a FM expander). ANYBODY HAVE ANY NEED OR IDEAS ON WHAT TO DO WITH THESE COMPONENTS?

I was lucky enough to find three small tokens of the previous owner's life with the car also:

a 10 Yen coin, a Cigarette that had been dropped down the seat, and the rear ashtray was full of aqua coloured little 'pearls' (old airfresheners I assume).

Its off to vehicle inspection and ID check tomorrow and then she is on the road!

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
