Some Euro-trash. Just put some 12.5mm spacers on the front of the BMW and lowered it around 1.5" all around. I think the rear could comes down a little more but overall I'm really happy with the stock-but-tougher look.

My Supra

Twin hybrid turbos, cams, decat, exhaust & a syvecs. Should be running about 450-460hp. Desperate to get back in a GTR though :(

What's missing from the Supra that you'd be keen to get into a GTR for? Never driven a Supra so keen to know.

Nothings missing as such, Its a brilliant car to drive & is a lot of fun on the right road (on others its down right scary :laugh: )

I'd always wanted a GTR & sold mine way earlier than I wanted to :( Got some unfinished business with it :D

I like that! I'd hate to know how much you spend on fuel in it though with UK prices! :O

Very nice collection mate :thumbsup: Still have a big soft spot for the E36 M3. Yours is a 3.2 (Evo) yeah? A 1996, judging by the series 1 grille but series 2 rims, clear indicators and Estoril colour. Props if it's the 6 speed manual.

Here's my other contribution. 0-100km/h in 7.0 flat, not bad for 1970kg! :D

Matt, what is it a 740 or 750? You know your Beemers as you're spot on. It's a 96, 3.2 Evo and yes a factory 6 speed. Most of the SMG cars are now manual converted as the pumps die and they're $9k for a new one, and all for a transmission that doesn't work that well at best. I love the way they look!

Most of my cars are what I ached for as a youngster but could just never own because of the $$. Ahh, nostalgia.

Enjoying this thread,

Super cool. I bet it's nice to drive? But 1970kgs!?! Holy schmoly thats a large lass!

Cheers boys! :) Christian, it cost a fair bit to put right (but would've cost even more had I bought parts from here instead of the States) but it was fairly cheap to acquire. 1 owner car with books, so that gave me some confidence. And yep you definitely feel the 5.1 metres and 2 tonnes when cornering, but it's sooo relaxing to roll to work and back!

Yeah Nick, it's a '99 740iL with the M62 4.4. Like the S52 they can have some Vanos issues but otherwise pretty solid unit as long as it gets the proper maintenance. Ah ok, I have seen quite a few converted ones on Carsales. I know a little about the E36 M3s as I have been very close to buying one in the past, just couldn't find the right one. I can totally relate to the idea of acquiring cars that one used to want as a teenager too. The E38 and the GTR are two of those cars, for me. So I consider myself lucky!

    • 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.
