If you need a hand with the Val give me a buzz, had a few over the years. Pete's also a MOPAR fan too!

And in funnier news, just had a VS commodore go past my place sounding like a lawnmower with a foulded plug, actually i think the mower would've sounded better!

Heck yeah...go the Mopar.....here's mine back in the day

Not much Matty, the track car coming along?

I spotted ya somewhere the other day but can't remember where or when :) didn't think it warranted a post in the thread :P

slowly, gotta chuck the motor in next friday so we can start making my manifold and forward facing plenum up. some point gotta hit both ATS and MTQ up for turbo pricing too

lol, as for spotting, did u wave to me?

got car back today from weekend spray part 1

need to straighten out my numberplate after the bashing its had...

am now rocking the wingless look for the next 7 days. got some racing tape over the spoiler holes.... wing has actually separated (being a 2 piece mould) and so the dude im using is getting the inside hollowed out to remove the excess resin, and putting in a fiberglass reinforcement. Sadly, he could not fix the n1 spoiler lip I purchased for $50 as it had a steel reinforcing rod underneath a rubber exterior, and the steel had rusted thru in several places and expanded due to rusting... oh well, you win some, you lose some...

-D

Anything in particular that you really wished you kept along with some photos you can share?

Apart from that 6 Pack Pacer I had a really nice Porsche red Datsun 260Z 2+2......lots and lots of other cars too (prolly couple of dozen all up)

By chance did you sell that to a guy called Arthur that lives just off Port rd Pete?

LOL James, sold that centuries ago after blowing the Ford 9" Customline rear end at AIR.......met the guy at the Talbot Hotel and he was either one of the Richmond or Croydon crew from back in the day.

I bored the thing out .090" and put Chev 327ci pistons in it then decked the block to suit the lower gudgeon height.......bores were paper thin though and didn't like the warm weather unfortunately.

Car parts were so much cheaper in comparison to wages in those days so we could really experiment and it didn't matter if we blew things up......we'd have the engine in and out in 1 arvo after sinking a carton of Southwark Bitter, lol :):P

where'd ya front lip go ben?

I took it off 2 years ago. Where have you been?

It kept scraping shit and didnt line up with the contours of the side skirts and the rear

the lip looks good on cars that have the sides and pods to match, but I have stockers and want to keep the stock look

there is a reason why they generally paint that lower lip black - so people dont notice that its there..

but ignoring all that shit, i just like the look from the front without the lip. its more refined, more subtle, without losing any of the aesthetics of the original nismo bar

-D

That's what I think too personally but each to their own :P

total nonsense

the gtr lip looks like a cowscoop attached to a train when the car is a) lowered and b) doesnt have the sideskirts to match

which incidentally the nismo lip came out before they thought of making nismo skirts and pods - they always painted the lower lip a dark color so it wouldnt be as noticable when people looked at the car as a whole...

and i totally reject the notion that the car is somehow lacking - you look at that front bar and tell me its lacking compared to any bitch arse softcock silvia or gtst bar >:) the bar works on its own yo, f**k a lip

adrian & luke = fail

-D

Edit and I have to add, that mismatched black bonnets look really really toy :P just my opinion tho, pay no heed

    • 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.
