^ ummmm...now is probably not the time to tell you that he didn't even scruntineer my car, look at my helmet, extinguisher or car in general. I literally drove past him (at about 7:15am mind you) got a sticker and continued on my way.

Change of subject, awesome day - Ash, thanks for the delicious BBQ, SAUVIC, thanks for the garage for chill times.

Yup they went through the cars a mate of mine was done for suction cup, I got told I had to remove my steering lock as my car isn't registered

Got told the same thing about my steering lock too

I got the steering lock thing too... and that i need to have a key hanging out the boot lid....

just let it slide, if they actually stopped anyone racing then it night have been a different story.

I just happened to be on PI for a holiday, early Saturday morning walks I bumped into the Heasman's crew and easily got talked into heading to the circuit to check things out.

Managed to meet a couple of SAU members, checked out the R33 GTR, R34 GTR, S13, S14, S15, R33 GTSt, Commodore, and the Ginetta (from a distance).

Today was a travel day to return home, pity I missed a chance to meet more SAU members. The Vic scene looks healthy, and people approachable for a yarn. Club motorsport is where it's at.

And I finally got to see why PI is raved about - I'd like to bring my car there for a run but it's a long drive from Qld. The only negative I found was the weather down in those latitudes is everything it's cracked up to be... :yucky:;)

Evo Brake rotors are warped and shuddery when hot, Pads almost done...

And ABS kicking in constantly after I got some heat into the race spec nankang tyres ;)

Either way, got a few sessions in because I decided to call it to preserve my daily, was good to see how it performed out there. Would be a monster on good tyres and some fresh rotors / pads :) Was a lot of fun wrestling with it during a 4 wheel slide :D

I didn't even get out of my car during scruitineering, rolled in... he opened the boot and closed it in 2 seconds, same with the bonnet, stuck a sticker on and off I went. Didn't even look at my fire extinguisher or helmet :P

Really good day and heaps of new people to talk to! Very positive to start to the SAUVic Motorsport Season

I walked into the office to sign in, and the girl saw my SAU Shirt and said "Damn, another one of you!!"... and the guy said to her in a loud whisper "Shhhhhh, they're funding the day!"

did lol

Did you end up having enough fuel to get home? I got home with 1/3 of a tank and 30L spare in jerries haha.

    • 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.
