i naturally assume theyre Sri Lankan or Indian, as 9 out of 10 of the supras i see these days are driven by them and usually have roof wings, many bonnet scoops which dont have holes cut for them and roof vents with the ugliest chrome 17inch rims youve ever seen.

yeah them...

aaaaah Nico Rosberg... who's he race for?

Mercedes GP, alongside M. Schumacher - The Germans

lol personally I don't care if you've got a 600kw GTR, no fucker is driving my car unless I'm 100% confident in their skills.

This lesson was learnt after some guy who claimed to be a "awesome driver" with a 300kw GTSt rode the clutch on my triple plate ORC rx7 and fucked it.

I don't ask to drive other people's cars, and I don't let others drive my car. My car, my mods, only I've driven it long enough to know every little detail about it. You don't, and I don't trust you to treat it the same way I would. Simple as that.

^^ That's fucked man!

Did he fix it? Pay for it?

Same with me, the only ppl I let drive is my mechanics who I know personally.

Also my panel beater, but they know not to 'drive' it, only when moving in and out of the workshop.

+ I wish not to see my panel beater at all, meaning I don't want to have any panel damages.

:(

If I'm in the car to supervise then generally anyone that owns a manual car is welcome to drive. At any stage I can say GTFO.

The people I don't trust are panel beaters and the like... I've only had bad experiences with them. F*ckers used like $40 of fuel when apparently all they did was "move the car around the workshop"

lol dumb kent... i told him "its a bridge ported T88, its got a triple plate... can you handle it?" and he's like "yeah man I know how to drive manual and I have a powerful car". Crunched the gears when shifting to 2nd, 3rd and 4th cos it kept wheelspinning on him, almost dropped him when he finally pulled over.

yeah actually, the people who drive it are my mechanic/panel beater, and the boys who work at the workshop. Cos they all know how to properly drive cars.

Only people that drove my car were

My brother - when it was stock/mildly modified

My mum - when I was overseas for a few months, 250rwkw

RE Customs/mechanics/suspension guys etc

Justin

The guy that bought it didn't even drive it until he had handed over the cheque and was driving back to Sydney...

Yeah even when selling my cars I never allowed test drives. I'd drive them to show them how the car drives and tell em I'm protective of my cars... they usually understand. I've had one guy get all suspicious so I told him to fuck off. No exceptions.

I echo this.

I would never buy a car that I haven't driven. Some people that know their cars really well can hide some faults with their driving. When I went to look at my car the owner drive first then let me drive it so I could do a few tests.

    • 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.
