My stagea has a japanese minidisc player with a small fm band which wouldnt get most fequencys that we have in melb so i bought a fequency converter from import driver and installed it. It fixed that problem but my aerial doesnt pick up the channels that well. Has a fair bit of interference and to be honest it pisses me off. I think my aerial is on my front windscreen like a sticker. Anyone else have the same problems with theirs and any suggestions on what i can do about improving my radio reception

make sure your antenna amplifier is wired up to 12V radio signal, wire is attached to coax at back of head unit, also get rid of band expander and install an oz tuner for better reception. Band expanders arent a good permanent solution.

My antennas are in my back side windows, I have wiper heaters on my front screen that look like antennas, maybe yours could be different ?

Thinking of putting in my pioneer stez from my old car. Will i still need a oz tuner, if so where can i buy. yeah i think that could be a wiper heater ill post up a pick 2moz. This i probably a dumb question but why do u need a wiper heater and what function does it do

Its for cold countrys ( like were im from ) helps unstick your wipers when it hits sub 0 temps and they get frozen to the window, so you can remove snow from the windshield.

I would love set on my stag!!

It will also heat your side mirrors, if the jap convex ones werent swapped at compliance, switch is below right of steering wheel.

Is this an aerial or wiper heater?

its an aerial, but probably not genuine, maybe for an aftermarket TV / GPS, trace it and see where it connects to. do you have them in your back side windows ?

yeah i do have what looks like an aerial on both sides of back windows and there is no wire that goes anywhere from the front window so i cant trace where it goes. Its just a sticker

      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.
