If any of you guys are interested in Skyline models, heres the post from the general discussion forum... These have been out for a while (sorry if repost!) and I think are ending soon. 120yen *per can*, so to get the model it'll cost 240yen for the double can super set :laugh:

The UCC C110 GT-R is particularly good, with a minute 'Skyline GT' badge on the rear quarters and the rear tail light panel showing excellent detail. I say this because I also got these Nissan maodels from 'Furuta' confectionary company who make these chocolate eggs a la Kinder suprise... the eggs were delicious but the models inside were not very well done with pretty dodgy quality, but in their defense they're even smaller than the UCC models at what I would guess is 1/82nd scale:

UCC (left), Furuta (right). The Furuta C110 had worse quality, yet they were still able to add fender mirrors...

You can actually make out the Skyline badge on the rear quarter if only I could hold the camera steady.

Pretty impressive for 1/72nd scale

Obligatory mobile phone size comparison shot... yes those incessant Cameron Diaz Softbank commercials did their job... :D

hey Rezz, i see you got yourself a sharp 910 SH. damn good phone isnt it? i, too, bought the 5 mega pixel camera and lo and behold it came with a phone! ;)

did you take those pics with the phone or another camera? shame on softcok..they dont want any of us actually thinking we can export any of those little beauties over seas where every other model is inferior....except maybe a couple of nokias.. :laugh:

on another note, i saw a twin pack of boss cans in a conbini with a skyline model attached to them..

is that one of the same models by any chance?

m3gtr: Yeah got the 910SH, the camera is almost as good as my 5 year old Canon IXY 5.0 mega but the lens is 'crapper'... haha. If anything it's good for HUUUGE pics and the 3x optical zoom absolutely kills my old Panasonic P505iS with 20x DIGITAL zoom... lol.

Ganta: Yes theres six models, and an extra one (V36 Skyline 350GT Type SP sedan) that you have to go online and try and win by doing this internet version of 'scratch and win'... each can is worth one point, and it costs 2 points for one chance at getting the V36. There are 6 'scratchy bits' that you have to scratch only two of to see if you get a match (just like sctratch and win). I tried 6 times but lost every time!!!! I don't even like canned coffee... ;)

Yes it's one of them. I got all six but cost 1,440yen... which if I saw all six packaged by themselves in a box I'd probably think twice about it, but the lure of 12 free cans of tin flavoured 'coffee' was too much good value ;) Nah I just like Skylines...

      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)?

      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.
