The Golden Week is a collection of four national holidays within seven days. In combination with well placed weekends, the Golden Week becomes one of Japan's three busiest holiday seasons, besides New Year and the Obon week (July/August)

The national holidays making up the Golden Week are:

April 29

Green Day (Midori no hi):

April 29 used to be the birthday of Emperor Showa who died in the year 1989. After his death, the day was changed into a national holiday for environment and nature since the emperor loved nature.

May 3

Constitution Day (Kenpo kinenbi):

On this day in 1947, the new post war constitution was put into effect.

May 4

"Between Day" (Kokumin no kyujitsu):

A recently introduced, national holiday to make the Golden Week a continuous holiday.

May 5

Children's Day (Kodomo no hi):

The Boy's Festival (Tango no Sekku) is celebrated on this day. Families pray for the health and future success of their sons by hanging up carp streamers and displaying samurai dolls, both symbolizing strength, power and success in life. The Girl's Festival, by the way, is celebrated on March 3.

More information about this holiday period can be found at http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2282

yer, depends if they close, or are open like for a day.

Not sure even whether he holds his own stock, or just gets it from suppliers on each order.. if that is the case, then most places will be closed - resulting in delay

shipping for 1x camgear and 1x cap is like $43! just for those items?! thats a bit expensive for the shipping.. especially considering customs will slug too when it gets here

Pred, you should incur no taxes/duties as it will be less than $400.

Oh yeah, I'm gunna hassle you about that fuel pump install soon *Cheesy Grin*

hehe.. well good to hear your car is going to be back soon and all is not lost!

hehe, yer, will be happy to do that still.. i went into fuel pumps having no idea just "that doesnt sound too difficult i think i can do that" and it all worked out fine, so camgear should be same.

can do it same day maybe.. anyhow, decide later.. i am out..

    • 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.
