Are you ok Cara? Any updates on your friend?

Sorry to hear about the cars involved but your health and your friend's health are way more important. I hope everything works out ok.

my friend had surgery on his back today not sure what for, and i dont know whats happening but im going to the hospital tomorow to see him

As i have just admitted to being a cheap-ass in The Spotted Thread I am going to post an interesting link, Here, to rebuilding brake calipers - As i am replacing my Pads, Rotors, and going Braided Lines for the Track Day, I may as well renew the calipers too.

I did the caliper seals, makes a load of difference.... 20 yr old calipers vs as new... no contest

-D

I'll stop whoring it up in the spotted thread, that DIY looks good. extremes are good if your good to them lol

Yeah, ATM i am going easy on it as i am "bedding in" the clutch and new flywheel.

Only thing I dont like about mine is it doesnt fully disengage the gearbox when it gets alot of heat into it. As for pedal feel? A few members here have driven my car and they have all said it has a great pedal...

EDIT: If you want to hear something really interesting, give Jim Berry a call and ask him about his opinion of Extreme Clutches...

Definitely not a good thing.

should i set the day aside for the call or?..

well back from Canberra/Sydney had an awesome time

only saw about 5 skylines and about 3 coppers so that's a great ratio

sorry to hear of your accident Cara, hope your mate recovers well

why dont you get the R Vu your looking for a 32

ive had my current Extreme in for about 14 months i think

i know its not a skyline people, but your a pretty switched on bunch of peepz,

does anyone know the stuf pattern size for a rx7 series 4 and what other car rims will fit on here.

I have searched google no results, asked mates they all look at me like im planning on giving the thing a good hiding it deserves. p.s sorry bout bad spelling had a few too many. need to get some stockies or decent type rims, and no i wont be doing burnouts on the road, i got no licence to do that anyway.

He won't get one... hes so worried about it not being the perfect one that he'll never actually find a GT-R aha

perfection only goes so far as your wallet allows

note the aus delivered r32 gtr and the one with less than 10,000km milage being advertised on carsales, but each one was over $40k ($65k for the aus delivered one)

-D

If he wants perfect, he will need to increase his budget substantially...

EDIT: Beaten by Dohmar

i think 13k is worth the risk that it might be a genuine sale fly to Perth have a look @ it buy it and put it on the train for home then spend $1000 change all fluids and get leak down and compression tests done so you know what your dealing with

if it has poor compression drive it easy if its all good smile all the way to the track

EDIT

if i had the abilities to acquire 13k i would snap it up today

I totally agree with both dohmar and heslo, hence why I spent the amount of money on my GT-R that I did. I can see that GT-R being a nugget and chewing a bearing straight away, personally I'd steer clear.

its not too bad, tho you're right about the engine, you'd probably want to rebuild the engine straight away for peace of mind, or just strip the car down as much as possible and use it as a track mule till it breaks

i wouldn't mind a 2nd gtr which I can nick parts off

-D

Edit - Having had a look at the pictures, the engine bay looks like its in pretty decent nick and the interior looks good too (no tell-tale bubble on the dashboard)

If your budget was $25k, then getting this one for $13k and spending $12k on replacement parts would be a fun thing to do

    • 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.
