My wife drives like a granny when its wet and cold. When its hot shes a differnt animal. Drives my cars harder and faster than i do, i think she shoulda been a pro driver with her dry skills. She said it steered staight on through the apex of the rounderbout and was headed towards a power pole. I think she done well to only go up the curb then spin it onto the grass. Bumper is toast, left rear wheel as a bit of curb rash and the undertray is cracked but all else looks gd. Drives straigh as per normal and hooks up under power like it should. Now its down to the wife to want to get in a drive it again otherwise it mite be ready for upgrades

Wow man just seen a 1989 skyline svd silhouette towing a box trailer at the bottle shop. Dead original. Burgundy and grey. George fury reconds it was a f***ing s**t box. I think it was a beautiful form of ugly!

Continental extreme contact sport. It's a competitor to the michellin pilot sport 4s but available In sizes smaller than 19" unlike the michellin.


I'm no longer a fan of continental, I had sport contact 3 on the Audi when I got it within 12000km they were so bad I couldn't slow down without abs kicking in the super sports were amazing, like new after 20000km!!

You'll love the pilot sport 4S then.

There's generally a $$ difference too, You pay a premium for the michellins. the reason they perform so consistently is because they are dual layer, you effectively have two different layers of tread compound so they can engineer the compound of the outer layer for when it has lots of tread and then the inner layer for when the tyre has less tread so you don't get as much drop off in performance. Basically every other brand tyre has that drop in performance as they wear out, it just is what it is.

That's excluding the fact the super sports aren't really a direct competitor for the sport contact 3, they have different intended markets, ones a sporty family sedan tyre and the others not far removed from a semi slick, the extreme contact is aimed at the super sport/pilot sport 4s market and as far as testing I have seen goes, performance is very similar but at 3/4 the price.

Air powered nail guns were great toys as a kid. A friend of dad's was doing an extension to his house and we would go over to visit (being early primary school students at the time) and have great fun nailing anything we could find laying about together. The bigger gun that did the 75mm nails had some decent kick to it.

    • 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.
