i dont see anything luke..

anyway im mad at him because i sent him an email like six months ago asking how he went with his Toyota Tundra that i read about in his column in one of those car magazines he writes for. Im pretty sure it was via facebook, pfft its not like he would get more than fifty messages a day on there..

good to hear he is just slow generally with those things and i hadnt offended/bored him somehow :unsure:

wait, what? you use the money people give to your for 'their' cars to buy your own?!

oh wait i just for that the JZX is one of your own, good luck man, bit of a buyers market now unfortunately..

just to make the wait go faster, heres one i spotted in Cambodia last year.

how porn are they?

going to be easy enough to source rims and rubber you want or just going to make do with whats on the truck you get?

As always, ride height is the key with fitting bigger rims. I was going to go the lift kit option, but then I realised my kids probably wouldn't be able to get in!

I'll be buying my own rims once it's through compliance, as I need stockies for compliance (and future defects lol).

saw this at trackday at EC yesterday, also want.

dont even need to tow anything..just think they look awesome.

not sure if i would still be as lusty for one if i saw them everyday, im sure the rarity over here adds to the cache for me but still. Niiiiice

Patty,

The inside of those things makes you feel like your sitting in one of the OLD McDonald's restaurants. You know, with all the hard plastic everywhere, cheap materials.

Please reconsider this obsession with Yank trucks. I had a brief twirl in a Ram V10, and still that engine didn't make it good- sounded like a vacuum. Stick with a Tundra.

yeah im yet to get inside one, thanks for the heads up Alex.

childhood dream shattered a little but meh, i cant afford the silly money they ask for them anyway.

good luck with the Tundra Kristian, 30k is a big saving on landed retail, we dont get such a huge difference with the jap imports do we?

Well we don't get anything in 4WD apart from the stuff that comes from the US in the import world, that's the main reason I'm getting one.

But the margins on US cars are huge here still, a bit like it was with Japanese imports about 15 years ago, when Soarers were $60K...

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
