Hot! get mine back on Tuesday- Wednesday with my Nismo kit done! Can't wait. Painted yourself Ruby? Group buy SAU resprays? :P

f**k no! I gave up spraying other people's cars years ago. Just stuck to doing my own jobs.

Unfortunately, its an acrylic job from a rattle can. I don't have the garage or workshop to do a proper job yet like I use to. But I do have all the spray painting equipment waiting to be used. Good news is that I've bought another house and I'm setting up a garage/workshop in the back yard. Then all my workshop equipment can come out of storage and get used. So in about 3-6 months, the stag gets a proper respray.

But the job at hand is good enough for now. The pics do it alot of justice ... there are a few flaws in the rattle can job.

Its black glass guys... we went through regency with our 2 and they told us to "peel the tint off"... when they figured out it was the glass they were like "oh well i guess there's nothing you can do bout that" hehehe

Getting there roo!

The back windows arent tinted, its privacy glass. One of nissans almost good ideas, would have been good if they had of worked something out for the front windows as opposed to glass that only self tints in the sun at about 8%! My front windows on the 260 were that dark when i got the car, when i went through the regency identity check station the guy goes to me, "i think your windows are a bit dark, let me put my light meter on there, when i do the display should say 70 or above....." he puts it on the window and it comes up 14...lol.

Yep that was me. I have no proper facilities at the moment, but I had to do something about the white body kit on the black stag :D

Thanks for the compliments guys :) She'll get a full respray this year sometime when I've moved to the new premises.

As for the tint, I'm happy with it the way it is. At least I'll have some sort of argument with the 'authorities'. If I tint the front glass I won't have an excuse.

    • 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.
