Just wondering if there have been or will be any cruises and such in Country vic? I live some 120km from Melb CBD and have only seen 2 other Skylines within a 50km radius, and one guy wrote his off a few weeks ago. I ask because I don't get up to Melbourne that often and don't know it at all, only just the Morabbin area a tiny bit (Been to AVO Turbo World once or twice).

I would be willing to travel to Melb now and then if people in my situation (new to imports and cars, etc and Melb driving) would be welcomed?

Cheers.

cobo_11: you have an Autech version GTS4? What kind of differences are there between mine (normal GTS4) and your Autech version?

I MUST know :(

BTW: I'm from Geelong - many melbourners reckon thats in the country too :)

I live in the gippsland area...

Does anyone know if any cruises or whatever will be happening on the 5th (Friday) of Sept? I will be coming up for a family friends 60th for saturday, and would like to try and participate in a cruise on Friday if something is happening?

I will be in the Knox area on Friday.

cobo_11: some of us 32 boys will be meeting in central melb on saturday, probably albert park 4pm for a few pics and stuff. Your more than welcome to join us :D

In a month to 6 weeks or so I'll be making another blast up to Bairnsdale one night. Actually its a place 20KM's out of Bairnsdale called Paynesvile or something. I have a friend who moved up there...

It's kinda funny actually. The only 'performance' car I saw the whole time I was there last was like a VR SS, and an older gentleman seemed genuinly scared when I dropped a BOV on him as I went past. The Paynesvile pub would be an interesting place to park a group of Skyline's out the front of... but thats another story all together.

It's a good run down the South Eastern and all the way out to Sale. Speed Limit is 110 the whole way but it seems as though everyone sits on 120 or so. At Night it's a really awesome drive.

I'm betting No-one else would really be up for this though :)

    • 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.
