FJ20DR30 - If you want an early drive to collect bugs on the front of her, meeting us at BP Calder Inbound be my guest. We'll all work out a time later.

Dennis - If you want to Drive to VIC (from memory you're over in WestEnd Draught Land) and join us be my Guest, fair bloody way though. I reckon the quality will be high so no guarantees you'll win anything, hahaha!

edit: I am now reading there is no judging no tropheys, just a day to admire.

The Historic Jap Car Show is limited to 120 pre 1986 "show cars", then from what I've read the car park, literally next to the show area will have errrm the not so showy cars limit 175 cars. So the car park could be more interesting than the show itself! Only 9am to 1pm so short but sweet.......... Here is the link to the info/flyer for it thanks to Toymods.org for organising:

Thanks to Mastadd (at a guess) Steve.C got in contact with me. He as you may know owns the old RavenOak DR from Sydney.

He is 50/50 in joining us as he has his daughters birthday party the night before. So here's hoping he can also join us although he is way over East Lillydale way form memory. We may have to meet up somewhere Northern then head South to the Show. Worry about that later.

Hey we may all be car parks numbers yet! Like you, doesn't really phase me, the show sounds like it will spill over to the car park anyways.

I have been to many car shows since being in VIC and christ all mighty am I sick of looking at Mustangs and red neck Monaros. So to go to a JAP Day will be a fantastic change to the bland norm. Like you, I'm looking for R100's, Celicas, Bellets, 510's, 180b, Corona MK1, Stanza Coupe, christ I'll even look at a Civic!

It will be interesting.

Regards,

Mike

yep cant wait,

got the DR at home, waiting on a 5pm exh appointment.

Need to do a few other things, wont get a tune in time though,

I'll wack a wide band on it over the week and see if I can fix it up abit.

Hopefully we can get a few R30's together, may post up details on fj20.com also

The guy who is painting my datsun has a few nice "JAP" cars. i have seen a real nice Bellet in his shed as well as a prince skyline and a few Zeds/fairladys. i told him he needs to get them out and show them off.

O i had never even heard of bellets to i seen his one lol.

O i had never even heard of bellets to i seen his one lol.

The Bellet GT was a great little car, but we only got it in limited numbers here in Oz because I think the insurance premiums went thru the roof because it was a GT.

It was the pre deccessor of many very smart small Isuzu cars that we never got to see which was a real pity.

We might have seen a lot more but for the european connection of GM

Depends on where we will be meeting others I guess?

Im not really fussed.

If we all meet at the BP and no stops to meet others, 7:30am departure from BP?

Any word from the ex-Ravenok dr "steve" ?

Hopefully the weather holds out too

Hoping to be there in a Prince (all going well). :thumbsup:

Will keep an eye out for you guys if i am there.

Steve K's HR30 now belongs to another Prince owner, but they will be down in Maffra on Sunday...

ill go ether way im not bothered by the rain how ever better dry

how can i know for sure though as ill be leaving at 7 to meet up whats the forcast?

http://www.bom.gov.au/vic/forecasts/melbourne.shtml

It smells of rain tomorrow......................................................

To be honest I'm 50/50 - when wet the dr stays in the shed.

However, the guys from Toymods have put a lot of effort into this, I feel for their outcome.

I'll check back here first thing tomorrow, I have no problems if anyone backs out, 7:30am sharp exit form BP Calder, yes?

Just bloody unfortunate is all.

Mike.

    • 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.
