for future reference, i was mucking around with my ipod and sound in the Gloria to get a bit more depth out of it.

you will need to change the equaliser settings on the ipod to get it coming through the speakers properly with decent bass.

i set it up so that the sound setting for the car is on rock and so is the equaliser setting on my ipod, it now sounds really good and deep, where it was really flat before and wasnt very good

Actually I found that too - there was a huge difference between the settings. Mine was originally set on Vocal I think, and it sounded like crap.

How much was compliance ? and shipping to perth?

Compliance was $2200 plus tyres

shipping to Perth was $620 because you get a huge discount from seaways if you use them to ship from japan. maybe pm Iron Chef if you want more details :ninja:

yep. Im the only guy in Australia that can get your Y34 complied. I have a client in VIC waiting on his test car to be inspected, but until then i run the roost!!!

HAHAHAHA

PS - I run Rivercity compliance and work next to the owner of East Coast compliance - The only 2 workshops to have them. :blink:

It's amazing how unpopular they are at the moment. I give it 4 months and there will be a nice big forum all for us looney tunes.

they combo you are looking for is very rare, since its mostly the top of the range models that have leather but they also have the CVT

you might be better off getting one without leather cheaper and getting a retrim or the leatherette seat covers off YAJ (which look pretty good mind you)

you should be able to pick one up (without leather) for around the 600,000 yen mark with decent km. the aussie dollar is getting stronger by the day, i wish i had waited till now to buy.

Kristian will have more of a clue

leather was an option on most models, not sure how many have leather though. the vipz is the one with the CVT like what Ben has

Kristian is looking for a black one with leather so he will know how many are around

we bid on a few but they were late model ones in immaculate condition with leather so they were too expensive,

mine was bought a few months earlier by a supplier that Kristian knew in Japan, i enquired about it but he wanted to use it as a daily in japan so we kept looking for a bit. then when the economy crashed the supplier wanted to sell it and he reduced the price a lot. so i got it. only searched for 2 months or something

OK boys and Gentleman.

After having Kristians Cedric for 2 weeks or more now it is freaking awsome.

Im after finding some new head lights for mine. Want the Gloria ones that are the shadow Chrome background instead of the chrome style the cedric has.

Searching for some coilovers is taking it's toll. $3500 landed for JIC Magic ones.

Wheels are ordered and getting painted up in Japan. One off colour for the Work LS 406. 19 x 9.5 + 28 and 19 x 10.5 + 18.

And roof spoiler is getting sourced for mine now.

Been pulled over by the cops many times now. Have tinted the windows, no problems there. They all just want to know what it is. and to ask why a 21 yr old is driving a luxury family car.

So if anyone has a gloria that wants some cedric head lights hit a brother up.

Also kristian how is that xenon kit and cartridge coming from brissy going ????????? ;P heheheheheh

I have spoken to streeter,

He quoted me $3300. So either your doing the change over with your standard struts or I'm completely getting my ass reamed.

AND GAY with the Xenon Kit. Who throws stuff out like that. i mean really :down:.

Grrrrrr argh bum bum.

Thanks though guys.

Also Ben,

Can you PM me details for that translation thing you have. I want it. Cant for the life of me work out what half of it is. I have worked out what each option is on the display unit, but want to know more about it all.

And how the freak do i change the time on the clock? I cant find anything to change it at all.

i sent him a link for some off YAJ and he said he could get them through his wholesaler cheaper, did you say you wanted them sea freight? because EMS would be pretty expensive, similar to what you were quoted

      @Butters I can't tell you why but the bigger HKS step 2 cams improved low and mid end immensely. Turbos started spooling about 1k RPM less than before and the idle/vacuum was rock solid, it was an absolute thrill to drive, 3rd gear pulls hit 180kmh where previously only managed 160. Conversely, the milder poncoms in there now have a funky idle making it harder to get off the line, drives poorly in lower revs, laggy and makes less power/torque throughout. Feels better after I swapped the EBC but unless I put it on the Dyno again, I can't say how much better.

      Cams are not needed at this power level, they will create lag. The cam gears are a good idea though.

      @Murray_Calavera yeah, I guessed as much, cooler temps, more boost, less knock, more timing, hello power. Unfortunately not quite within reach ATM, could upgrade my whole fuel system to support but still wouldn't have E85 to run it 😂  Anyway, I changed cams again, 260/260 poncam B and everything else the same except an EBC upgrade. Now I must say I was quite disappointed with the result as it was like running stock cams (didn't try to dial them in as they're supposed to be optimum already) but after awhile I suspected my new EBC was underperforming not to mention difficult to use. I recently swapped back my old EBC and it drives much better now, boost comes on sooner, more stable, no spikes etc, feels all quicker and faster than with stock cams. Planning to fiddle with the cam gears and see what happens but maybe skip the Dyno as I intend to revert to the HKS cams cos they really made the car come alive; low and mid end was unbelievable and it just wanted to rev to the moon, finally knew what people were raving about, RB26 really loves revs. Anyway, Dyno 03 is quite disappointing, in Dyno 02 although peak power was less and trailed off at the top, the low and mid end improvement more than made up for it.

      @Darrel It's so tempting to say e85 is borderline magic. It cools the intake charge, so if you're flirting with the edge of the turbos compressor map it helps dramatically cool down the hot air the turbos are pumping. It is very resistant to detonation so you can crank the timing, I don't really want to say you won't be knock limited anymore.... but you probably wont be knock limited anymore lol. I wouldn't be surprised if you made 20% more power swapping to e85 (provided you have the fuel system to support them, bigger injectors maybe bigger pump etc).
