which day you going?  I'll depart nagoya at 6/feb :)

Will I'll be there from 2-9th feb, mostly up the north islands for lots of snowboarding, but venturing down to tokyo/osaka for a few days to check out the car scene (and buy some cheap bits!)

How long are you over for?

I'll arrive at nagoya tomorrow night, then first half week is at tokyo for TAS, then off to sapporo to get frostbites for a week. Back to nagoya after that and just relax for the rest of the time. looks like Up Garage stores for 2nd hand stuff is worth a visit, autobacs with retail price are about the same as order stuff from here.

so about 3.5weeks at japan I guess..

gf went to snowboard trip at nagano few weeks ago, where winter olympic held years back. Looked like lots of snow too so you wont b disappointed if you are heading north. :)

ed, also if you can stretch your visit time at japan, see if you can goto osaka auto messe..

11/feb to 13/feb

its more tuning parts specific than just typical auto rice salon I guess :)

cant streach that far :P ahh well... I hope to get to TAS next year.... so i'll just have to wait!

I'm hooking up with a friend of mine to take me around a few workshops in tokyo/osaka..... she's also checking out some bits for me :)

that would b cool, I'll probably b going to auto messe if I goto japan next time depends if gf is still there or not.

well I'm all packed and theres no room in suitcase to take those race queens back, stupid winter clothes :)

um, no..

He was after $5k for his.. but its not worth that.. $3k i reckon he'd take.. its a GXE (the more luxury spec)

p.s. this is the one I'm buying: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=59664

i know i *was* after a wagon.. but silvertop RB20det and manual.. and the plush pimp interior is hard to go past. Something different.

The thing with a wagon, its one of those useful things some of the time, fun some of the time, but rest of the time it's like driving a boat :)

    • 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.
