Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

he may be trying to get the car complied... in which case there are a whole lot more hurdles you need to jump threw, 1 of them being and english owners manual

There would be a lot of JDM only cars that wouldn't have a english owners manual. For instance there isn't a 1JZ english workshop manual in existance so i highly doubt that there would be english owners manuals for any 1JZ equiped cars when there aren't workshop manuals.

Also there are no english owners manuals for 180sx's there are english owners manuals for 200sx's and 240sx both of which are the same car but none for an actual 180sx.

Dale, my 100 came with a 'owners manual' as it was a test car. It was all of about 5 pages basically saying 'put petrol in the petrol tank, oil in the engine and coolant in the radiator'. Just another stupid 'rule' to make it that little bit harder to import.

Also, while we're reliving the days of REAL comedy on TV...

Thank you to everyone concerned for my welfare. When a Jap import is registered in SA for the first time, our lovely inspectors go over the Consumer Information Notice (paperwork from the compliance workshop) and cross check that everything is done exactly as is written, right down to the brand of tyres and the sizes. Mine said on the paperwork it had a translated English manual and it didn't so I fail. I'm sure you can imagine the phone call to the workshop after that one - it's coming down overnight via Express Post...

Yep, as Chef pointed out when every car is complied in Aus it MUST have an English manual supplied. Mine was a 10 page photocopied and stapled pos, but meets the letter of the law.

Andrew, from what I gather, you don't have to have one unless it has been mentioned in the Consumer Information Notice compiled by the compliance workshop.

In other words, Regency are nit-picking and should be blown up!

^^^Pretty much.

As I was saying to the girl behind the counter at the ID inspection place (who I later found out had had her own car impounded at one point haha), the Cedric will be a much nicer car once its about a foot lower, has a guard roll and has the 19s on. (Stich Kamfer, 19x8.5 and 9.5 +26 all round, ex-Japan, for the wheel Nazis...)

This one may be up for sale sooner than I thought - it turns out that buying a car and forgetting to tell your wife is not a wise thing to do...

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
