I had a sky blue 1978 280SEL Mercedes a while back. On a trip to schoolies week the air con started to leak and made a lake on the floor of the back seat. After that it was known as "the blue lagoon". Also got the handle "beirut bus" as it's the style of Merc you see in all the beirut military movies like Delta Force.

My s14 used to be called Syl (how original!)

Now I've got a MY00 wrx. Any ideas what it's nick is? Rex or Rexy (once again - how original!) Occasionaly gets "it" (my plates are my business' name "I.T. twentyfour 7" = IT247)

I've found that all my cars have also responded to "baby", "piece of $hit!!!!" and "biatch" too.

Oh yeah, almost forgot, also had a 97 magna a while back (well was really my parents, but who's going to complain about a free ride?). Got named boomer as I had a habit of cleaning up possums in my neighbourhood with the bumper :P

78 V8 kingswood (beastie) I called it this after an old jetro tull album "broard sword and the beast" even had a sticker on the back, people still refer to it today as the "beastie" even though I sold it more than 10 years. Strange...

70 buick electra (pimp mobile) very deserving name if you saw it, very big pillarless car, 455 big block with big fuel bills to match. plenty of room though, even with 8 people inside.

74 Chev Impala (Detriot locamotive) Only 400ci this one but it still did 140 mph!

MEGA

skyline GTS-4 (Licence remover) It does this well.

    • 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.
