nah, got the crappy black auto with the RR panel losing paint and sanded back bonnet.

My red manual is a beast with 3 piece wheels and a custom rear wing. Just getting back on the road now to start club racing again but got my roadworthy and the discs are undersize so time for a new set. DBA will cost 1K for all 4 from Autospeed but I'm told by a guy in Epping he can get slots for under $500 (not DBA). I'll post when I find out.

Also got a green soarer and black laser lynx. give us a wave and feel free to stop and chat. :P

OK this is the price update. Slotted fronts ar $220 each, plain rears are $190 for the pair (cause they don't work too hard, even on track) so @ $640 I'm well ahead but I will have to get the heat sensitive paint out and bed them in properly cause I won't get enough driving in before Sandown next weekend. Always worth doing well anyway. The procedure is on the DBA website.

don't cruise. but i go shopping, live and go to uni around mill park - bundoora - greensborough.

LOTS of skylines around this area owned by ex VL drivers with attitude I must say...

Well yeah, what I mean by cruise is does anyone actually drive around this area that owns a Skyline. Bad choice of words I suppose :(

Still see ALOT of commodore drivers getting around here, I suppose this area has always been a tad bogan-ish..

[Edit: Shit, I just realised how old this topic was. Sorry for the post dig guys, just this came up in my search of the "Watsonia".]

    • 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.
