Not sure what the book says, but bear in mind, I have an RB26, BIG fmic(heavy), Leather interior (heavy), HUGE brakes (very heavy), manual (light), and no sunroofs (light), so I had no idea what to expect. I weighed the car as I drive it: a small amount of odds and ends in it, spare on board, cargo mat, full tank, etc, and it came up at 1700kg neat (to the nearest 10kg). Unfortunately I could only talk the lady into an overall weight for no money down, so I'll go back with cash at a later date and get the front:rear weights as well.

This may or may not be news, but I found it interesting is all... :)

Yeah, they're not light.

I took some junk to the tip (or Waste Management Centre, as they call them now) and on the way out it weighed 1735kg. That was with myself (about 65kg) and 1/3 tank of juice. Which I guess would take it down to about 1650kg tare.

But hey, XR6 Turbos are like 1800kg, so not so bad really.

It would be over 1800kg with a couple of people in it.

But normally its kerb weight thats listed in car specs, which is 1658kg for my S2 RS4. Not sure what it is for the autech.

Stageas are not heavy compared to SUV's and are fairly similar in weight to other wagons of the same size.

The one on Powers Rd in Seven Hills, Phil? I live right near that. Lucky for me we never smell anything.

My rego papers list my car as 1658kgs.

Yep, and I've got one of each. The XR6T has more mid range torque and beautiful suspension and ride quality, but I enjoy the extra spread of revs, the practicality and the "WTF is that" reaction that the Stagea provides.

Even though many write them off as a land barge when you compare them to the competition (instead of S13's and Skylines which isn't a fair comparision) they do come in under or close to most others out there (mind you I woldn't have expected a XR6T ute to weigh 1800)

Heavier chassis so they can carry a ton(not like a holden ute) and leaf spring rear end with solid diff housing.

      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.
