Anyone know a rough cost of getting a rocker cover gasket done, mines leaking like a mother f**ker ?

Maybe 200-ish?

Best to ring a workshop or 2 and ask.

lol I thought you hated leftist beliefs...

Gambling silently destroys peoples lives and those around them without killing them = infinitely worse IMO. The only reason it isn't illegal, like everything else openly accepted as a negative thing, is because of tax. Oh wait, I forgot about cigarettes...plenty of tax in that too.

I play blackjack at the cas once in a while but honestly couldn't give a shit if it was illegal. If nothing else at least ban pokies.

I do (come at me Ali lol) .... my point was that for every Birds who wants gambling b&, there's an old dorry who hates performance cars

I don't really gamble, might throw a few bucks on roulette once in a blue moon... but banning = slippery slope to other bullshit. Perhaps I'm biased cos I'm not a knob who has wasted his life savings on the pokies (which are f**king boring as batshit btw, surely pissing your money away at the strippers is better?), but whatever

gambling? meh i don't mind people being stupid enough to blow their money aslong as i don't know them/care for them

lotto though, i'm sure there are better uses for those $20mill rather than just giving em to 1 person for no reason what so ever

I don't agree entirely with the slippery slope thing. There's tons of shit that is illegal nowadays and once wasn't, doesn't mean we have lost or will lose every right we have. Problem with taking rights away from people is, it could be the right to eat shit and if you take it away they will be pissed.

Gambling isn't exactly a civil liberty though, these pokies and table games were invented to take advantage of the human condition. At some point you gotta say people can't be trusted to look after themselves, for the same reason we aren't allowed to do any speed we want on the roads. Should be treated like heroin IMO...

+1 Engineering aint cheap :(

How'd you manage that? Must have gone up after I finished

Can you build sentry guns yet Pat?

I did robotics and software - should cover sentry guns quite nicely

Fair point, I'm just hesitant to call for banning things that CAN be enjoyed reasonably and safely (alcohol, cars are common targets that I happen to enjoy).... why should I have to potentially suffer cos some dipshit can't control himself/herself at the pokies etc?

I would distinguish heroin as I would argue it's much worse for oneself than gambling

Well yeah it was an extreme example, but consider that drugs and gambling aren't so different when one is addicted, people do anything and everything they can to get their fix of it until their life is destroyed. I might be biased here because I've seen the gambling consequences first hand from a family member, but having seen that I'm also aware of the destruction it can cause within a family, that we don't really consider when we walk through a casino.

And I agree we shouldn't have to forego our fun because some idiots can't be responsible, sure would be a nice gesture of altruism though. It's a small price to pay to save a lot of families. What annoys me is that there have been no effective solutions to stop problem gambling because it's not in a government's interest to do so.

    • 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.
