Yeah Alvin, bought Bel's old car. For me, bronze is a little bit hit and miss on silver. Took a pic in japan of a white 33R with bronze xd9 and looked epic though!

I kept trying to convince Brandon to sell me his LM GT4s but I think that'll never happen lol

Gunmetal XD9s do look nice on silver as well actually, there was a pic of one at Sandown on my

comp but the angle of the pic didnt display the wheels very well. I'll have a tinker on PS again to see what it'll look like.

Was originally quite firm on either TE37SL resprayed black or black LM GT4. But now the more I look at it, seems like

33Rs look better with some dish which both of these wheels tend not to have much of..

Yeah for the Te37 range of wheels need 19's to get the dish

I'm already going, it's the Liberty guys meeting there tonight. :P

I don't want none of this Hallam kebab bullshit. Lol. What time are you going, ill tag along then. Been having cravings

White Work XD9 on silver 33GTR work well? Had a little fiddle around on PS before cos I couldn't find any other silver 33 gtr with white xd9's.

My car looks 95% similar to this car. Excuse the front lip as I don't know how to use photoshop.

Panasports ftw Edited by bluejeans

Oh cheers for the comparison pic, see the bronze actually looks pretty good there :)

What kind of silver is it? If it's later model KR4, go bronze. If it's light-ish silver go dark gunmetal.

Panasports ftw

I want it back :( hell, I want a GTR again.

Agreed on TE37's being played out, although haven't seen people jumping on TTA edition (Tokyo Time Attack) could it be a sign that TE's aren't fashionable anymore?

So what's the update on the car and your plans?

I considered buying the car when it was up for sale

Bought -9s, mines front pipe, 3" test pipe, tomei ti catback, nismo twin plate and greddy profec b spec 2.

Still yet to buy pfc but its just a matter of time. The car came with Racepace cam gears so I'll

put them onto the new engine, which should arrive from Japan in about a months time.

Suspension, brakes, diffs etc will be attended to once money starts flowing again.

The car is actually a very nice example, went to see a lot of 33s before buying this one.

The others were all very tired and this one seemed to be the most genuine.

not TE37's TE37 SL's

TE37's will never look played out

Happy Friday everyone, any plans for the weekend?

I'm going to be replacing my Intake Manifold Gasket on Saturday... going to be so much fun :|

And Sunday going to be finishing off my frankenstein rear end with the freshly rebuilt R230 1.5way and GTR Drive Shafts... but still with GTST rear hubs... (hubs are a little smaller than the gtr ones, so going to have to join the gtst splines to the gtr shafts at the CV Joint, urgh)

    • 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.
