The new family car. Family life doesn't mean you stop playing with cars, you just change priorities and the cars you play with.

These are just some of the 60 pics from Iron Chef's office in Japan. Cannot wait for this thing to land and chuck some front tint, rims, exhaust & a kit on it.

Looks terrific. Which workshop are you getting it complied at?

I saw a black Crown Estate at Revolution Imports a few weeks back.Looked very nice. I too am thinking about getting one of these to haul the family around. It seems like a good compromise.

There are very few of these around, and a lot less are Wagons. Have you been on Aus-vip? Plenty of Crown owners popping up.

Getting it complied at Revolution Imports, just got word this arvo that it's now complied, so it was possibly mine that you saw.

I've joined up on Aus-VIP, no posts yet, waiting until I get the car & doing some research about 1Js.

Car is now home and registered. Needs a good detail before I post up any pics.

Failed initial inspection on the window tint being too dark, had to be removed. HID headlights were also converted by the compliance mob to halogen because they're not auto-levelling and don't have a washer system as per AUS requirements.

Tint and factory HIDs are going straight back on the car now that it has rego.

There were no probs with them giving you the factory hid's?

Atoyot forum that way. >>>> :P

Aus requirements can suck my big one. How is it safer to have water droplets covering your headlight, dispersing the light? I told the compliancer/salesman if it didn't have the HID's in when I came to pick it up, I wasn't paying for it.

Nice car anyway, looks like a C34 stagea at the front, Mercedes rear, but with a decent engine. ;)

The compliance joint has said they'll send them to me and what I do with them from there is my business. They've advised me I'd be defected for them if refitted.

Oh thats good. They used to have to destroy them.

Atoyot forum that way. >>>> :P

Bah! Is the VW one over there also? :P

Here's the electric controls and what I've found playing about so far.

seat controls - forward & back on the seat rail, back rest up & down, base tilt and lumbar support (driver only)
rear seat back rest is adjustable from rear passenger arm rests
sunroof - open, close and tilt
nav/stereo/centre display has individual climate control, TV options, GPS I haven't had much of a play with yet

a few other Japanese buttons that don't work
fold in mirrors with a separate button for mirror demister
PWR/ECT/SNOW button - possibly for road conditions, not sure
traction control
steering wheel has UP buttons on the rear and DOWN buttons on the front. These don't appear to be for the stereo, so possibly cruise control, though I'm yet to work that out.
6 stacker CD player and a tape deck

found a DVD player above the glovebox
has more interior lights than a 70's disco

has green LEDs in the guide lights on the front guards

bad points:

FM band receiver wasn't installed

middle seat belt hs been removed

LHS headlight doesn't work, probably from the bloody halogens being installed

      Anyone running the VQ37VHR with forced induction?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Absolutely matters because, while a temperature change will eventually reach a sensor at the end of a static line, the response time is far far far too slow to be useful. Might as well not have a temp gauge at all.

      When I was eyeing off the 370GT (after deciding I didn't want to spend 30-40k+ to relive my early 20s in an R33) I thought it'd be a good project to add a turbo to it. Now that I have a 370GT, and I've had a couple of chances to open it up, I'm pretty stunned by how much power it makes 🫠 Honestly, the way the VVEL opens it up, it almost feels like there's a little turbo tucked away in there somewhere. It's like Nissan looked at VTEC and said "hold my beer" 😁 Has anyone thrown a turbo into their 370Z or 370GT? Is there a conservative boost level you can run without having to upgrade the fuel system, or are bigger injectors and a bigger pump a given?
