I don't know if this has been covered yet, but i read in yesterdays paper an R33 was carjacked in Hoxton Park, Sydney (west) on a deserted rd, Hoxton Pk Rd. Apparently an old beige corona? ran up the ass of the skyline and when stopped, put a gun to the drivers head, put him in the back seat and took him to some location and let go. Car was found hours later.

What makes me wonder is why, on a rd where the speed limit is 80-90 and in the middle of whoop whoop, would you pull over to exchange details when in most cases, an accident like this could NOT happen?

Something similar happened in the UK a few days ago. This guy had a SERIOUSLY modified Ford Sierra Cosworth which had hit 191mph before. It was in magazines over here and everything.

Then he was driving along and a stolen car cut him up and stopped in front of him while another car came up behind and blocked him in. 4 guys jumped out wearing masks and started to beat the sh1t out of the driver, but he got away. They then took his car.

hey brother i travel down hoxton park rd every night, to and from the city, tell me what makes you think its in the middle of whoop whoop, when even at 2 in the morning there are a lot of cars and trucks traveling down the main stretch of hoxton park rd. speed limit is 70 and most cars a shit boxes that trvel at night, ,. people just have to realise when you travel at 3 am by yourself anywhere in sydney you have to be allert and keep your eye out for those shitboxes that are used in ram raids.

I think something similar happend to the editor of SPEED magazine, he wrote up an editorial on it, I presume from the way he wrote it it was him who it happened to.

Again, in Sydney.

(Let me know if I am wrong....too lazy to go and get the mag to clarify, heh)

    • 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.
