I went once about 3 years ago. Never again.

Autosalon could be soooo much better if they put a bit more thought into catering for the more broader car enthusiast community. People who actually take pride in tastefully modifying their cars. Rather than cheap and nasty jobs that makes you laugh and just wonder..........why?

Ive never seen so many pink charades and gold plated corollas in my life.

Popped collars and Adidas bum bags is the dress code too :(

dave thats so last year, i believe fake oriton man purses + g-star raw singlets are the new dress code :D

but in all seriousness, autosalon has been a joke for a long time now... anyone with a real car with some actual wrench time under the hood in a tasteful jdm styled car simply gets shunned in favor of some chopjob lexus dumped on chromies..

What we would call tastefully modified is someone elses boring

some people just get attracted to shiny things :D

I remember the one autosalon I went to (4 or 5 years ago) there were 3 R32 GTRs owned by autostyle. No bling wheels, no bodykits/neons, stock paint & their hoods open with quite a bit of work done to them.

My friend & I were drooling over them & taking pics but everyone else was ignoring them for all the candy painted lancers

it wasn't until they put them on the dyno & pulled 600+awkw that there was a big crowd around the GTRs :ermm:

says quite a bit about the type of crowd that attends these things

the people who enter this abomination they call a car show never drive there cars either, stones might flip up n hit one of their 16 under car tvs whcich they watch on a regular basis.

real cars get driven not put away in an air tight room where no spec of dust can get on it

all u need to enter and draw a crowd is a body kit non stadard paint n oversized chrome wheels

When i went 4 years ago, i was 18. Even back then i thought it was sh!t.

Nobody cares for big powah GTR's or any car that looks standard besides JDM wheels. Until it hits the dyno and blows flames in there face and then they go "Zomg Fast and the furious is true!" and really all they drool over is the T88 turbo not even knowing what it is there for.

Oh - The year i went, DREMPT was there with his fake intercooler and not even any plumbing for it. Exposed end tanks FTL.

I admire clubs that go there to get exposure though the cars they show maybe not to everyones taste at least they are trying to get there name out there. I suppose.

    • 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.
