Spotted my R32 getting bogged on the GDE whilst trying to do a U turn .... on the grassy section after missing the turnoff to Aranda

Lucky for me some other drivers saw me stranded and helped me push the car out :) ... Was rather embarrassing but then again I guess it could happen to the best of us ...

Car was bloody filthy after spinning the wheels like a madman trying to get it out .... whilst bogged the whole car ended up filthy as hell ... (tried driving out slowly to no avail ... Damn open rear diff and no rear LSD to help me get out ....

The drivers side rear wheel which was in the dirt would just keep spinning like crazy whereas the passenger side would spin slowly ...

Car is now Clean as a daisy as I spent all afternoon in the Cold cleaning out the interior and exterior ...

So much mud and grass underneath the car it was like it had been in a bloody rally of Canberra ... Got many weird looks from other drivers probbably wondering where I had been with my R32 covered in mud LOL...

Passed a white R33 coming out of Woden Plaza carpark... didnt recognise the driver but he didnt look at me anyway so I didnt wave..

Also a silver R33 at Phillip just down from the BP, I think its a bike shop there?

Woo, been a while. Whose parking the nice blue V-Spec II in the same carpark as me the past month or so? Bound to catchya one day, even if you're not on here.

My car's been running like an absolute dog recently (bottom end bearings) so pretty much avoid driving it except to work :\ Boorrring!

Spotted the white R35 GTR going along the road near the casino, it looks so much better in the flesh. Specially when it drives past you.

Saw most likely the same car parked in Civic around lunchtime, looks like an ADM model.

    • 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.
