hey guys

was thinking bout doing some interior work on door trims, and plastic panels around.

wanna know if i was to spray paint door trims with adhesion primer and then a diff colour would this look weird?

and also does any body have any colour scheme ideas for an interior of an r33 s1? white in colour.

i had thought about white/fusion green? what do u guys think?

Greatest bit of advice... check the weather forcast before hand. I sprayed the top coat on mine, left it to dry while i went to the shops, come back and apparantly it was very windy and wet, there is now a fine coating of dirt, twigs and what i think is hair caked into the paint of my center console.... Now i have to wait for it to dry so i can sand it back and start all over again!

For the steering wheel i am trying to locate a series II 34 tiptronic one as they have that already looking like it, same for some interior components but not too many in the country and hardly any smash em. lol

Yes you need a special vinyl spray paint and you absolutely must have all waxes out of the original vinyl other wise the first warm day it will lift off.. also becareful with white as it can reflect alot of extra glare

The vynil spray works well on interiors, we did a AE86 sprinter from the brown to black, looks like its always been black.. quick qipe down with thinners and away it goes...

thinners is easy enough, just wipe down the vinyl and let it dry then apply an adhesion primer or just straight into colour?

i really want white and green, will match my photo i have in my head about the colour combo. will have ti just hunt around for the green.

also do you apply a clear on top? or is that a waste of time on vinyl?

      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

      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)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      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.
