Ok, so after spending about $100 double sided tape, I'd like to ask... has anyone tried to stick the Apexi stands ontop of the triple cluster on an R34 GT-T and got it to REALLY stick?

I'm not going to glue the buggers down, so any help with brands/types of tape most appreciated!

3M outdoor tape, the type to use to stick things to brickwork. As well as cleaning the surface to be stuck to with some isopropyl alcohol prior to application. Not to an r34, but I had the devils own trying to stick to my r32 and my03 dashes.

Make sure you clean the surface of the dash first... then, go to Coles and buy some goo strips... they're clear gooey blubs of disposable sticky stuff... not super glue so can be easily removed without scratch your dash but strong enough to hold your stand.

I got frustrated too, until I discovered this... I think it's made by 3M too.

Good luck.

I got some 3M tape from Bunnings, cleaned both dash surface and stand surface with some decent spray and wipe then just stuck it on, held fine with no issues for a year until I ripped it off. Make sure you clean both surfaces because that makes all the difference

Thing that really rocks my world is that fact that it sticks to the metal holders fine, just not to the cluster.

Hmmm, ok, I'll see what else I can do. Does anybody know what to clean it with and where to buy the stuff?

      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

      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.
