I havnt had 2 many negative comments bout my car, just the odd bogan in his bommadore yelling out the window but a quick press of the right foot usually shuts em up or keeps em goin, either way i have a good laugh at em :P As for the older generation who knows what their problem is, but yea one thing for sure is the media has played a fair roll in making import drivers look like "a bunch of hoons"

but at the end of the day you just gotta laugh it off... :O

tell him your aftermarket exhaust produces clean air that will be beneficial to his health.....put his face near the exhaust, and give it a bit of gas.....he will be high on exhaust fumes...and probably be as bleck as me :P

nah, but in all fairness, i think people think that skylines = hoons or skylines = ricers....and the whole "no replacement for displacement" crap.....i guess u just have to put up with it, till you or they move away....

Most of it would be from the media. Like many have said, Japanese Imports = Hoon.

If you car is legal, just leave it be. Don't tell people to f**k off if they say something, just ignore it. You park there everyday and if you were to tell them to f**k off, your car could get torched.

And about the Harley's, it stupid how they can get away with the amount of noise they make, but I agree with the one who said something about the cops not doing anything because they're scared the driver could be in some sort of 'group'.

well a lot of skyline owners dont help the cause either driving like tools .and thats what the public see hell im 48 and love my skyline and i get people ask what are you doing driving a hoons car at your age lol. things like youtube and skylines owners doing burnouts and driving at high speeds dont do much for our image im afraid

go watch this vid from Today tonight, the supposed video was in australia when its NOT!!! wtf lol

its from japan, the driver is now a professional D1 driver, i saw this on a DVD before, called Tokyo Underground ( something like that LOL) anyways watch it lol. Funny how media stirs so much shits without checking the facts.

Yes The alarm was fixed, the reason it false trigered that time was then when they originaly broke in they damaged the actuator on the servo for Central locking, now all fine.

The thing is that eaven though the alarm went off, no one called the cops.

re - harleys

Their standard exhausts are just under the Db level

Its the aftermarket pipes like

vance & hines

screaming eagle

etc

They are way over the limit, yet I also wonder how they dont get picked on. I guess it could be a resemblance to the "bandito's" or the "comenchero's" or the "Im a big man on a big bike im tough" clubs so people just leave em alone

The reason they don't get picked on by the public and the police is the whole reason bikie gangs started in Oz. Back in the 60's and 70's young bike riders started modifying their rides.....the public complained about the noise and hoons and the police started a crackdown. The bikers got together and formed clubs where as a 'pack' they could fight back....and by that I mean literally in some cases. The police and gangs got together and formed a peace by kinda saying you don't annoy us and we don't annoy you. Of course this all changed when they started doing real crimes like drugs and guns etc etc.

Does the early part of that story sound familiar at all??

    • 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
    • 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)?
    • 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.
