Hi all

In Sydney this week. It's sunny. Will go through all PMs and orders when I return on Thurs. Using dialup at the moment - a world of suck.

Oh yeah...

Hume run in a GTR is mostly great. Melb to Aulbury is fantastic. Aulbury to Gundagai sucks. Gundagai to Sydney is wonderful. Some bumps are not designed for hard suspension, and Sydney speedhumps are too high. My nice new front lip is looking a bit battered ;)

Experienced the HICAS sleep-mode. Sat happliy on 120 (speedo) and didn't get pinged once. Exhaust drone is fine. Premium fuel is readily available - but only getting 400-450 to a tank.

Have a fun week ;)

Albury - Gundagai is that beyatch of a road that narrows down to 1 lane each way... god I hate that bit.

I reckon Melb - Albury is the bestest road in melb. Even more fun when you're being chased by a copper in a GTO ;)

Sounds good :(

I am cruising up through there next week, also going on to coffs harbour and then brisbane, after sydney. Unfortunately I am not going in my car. Taking 2 work cars ~ free fuelage :P

Will be good to checkout these roads in a 'normal-comfy- car first perhaps. Then do the trip again with my car ;)

Drove my car to Canberra, for the summernats (entrant). Early january, with no aircon (wolf 3d bug, know fixed :P), windows open, and no stereo as it was useless due to wind and exhaust noises.

The drive was still pleasant, and not too harsh.

Karina - got it - thanks

slywpn - only just got back from Sydney. Have replied now :)

Everyone who hasn't paid... I need to get payment from you BEFORE I pick up the shirts. This is simply for cashflow reasons. I can meet people on Monday and/or Tuesday night (I need to go out to BMT on Monday - so can meet me there) or we can arrange somewhere for Tuesday. Ilive/work pretty close to the city.

If you are only able to pay when you receive the goods - is fine. You can come with me to pick up the shirts. I just don't want to be left quite out of pocket like last time.

EFT is still the best way to pay. Embrace technology :P

I have updated the payment chart too:

    • 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.
