Japan residents post up pics of your 'line! ... or sundry vehicle ;)


Recommended Posts

I took these pics this morning... I was very impressed with the work done by JAM Body Service (I'll post up what I had done in the Photo Diary) and was wondering, could the Japan residents post up pics of their cars?

(if it ain't got a Jap number plate, don't post it! :D)

Is that a Porsche turbo badge, rezz? :D
heh-hahaha! badteeth.gif You noticed...

... I'm not responsible for that, I've since tried to pry said badge off to no avail...

Why is it that most Japanese cars have extremely dark tint on the back windows and rear screen but light in the front? The cima which i imported is like this as well.

it's illegal to have dark tints on the front windscreen or the front windows. AFAIK there are no restrictions on the rear windows, so most cars come with dark tints from the factory.

Paint is real smick...picked her up with Justin on Saturday night.

on Mt Rokko before typhoon 16 arrived..

With the addition of another son to my family, I was tempted to sell the Skyline and get a Stagea. After much deliberation, I opted to keep the car and get a modded Accord Wagon as a family car...

Dave, love that shape accord mate...good choice.

also your plates look a little dirty on the skyline.

Yukio, thanks mate your GT-R looks smick with those nice wheels...LOL about the shop :mad:

Justin has Kobe plates, the only plates people want over here :)

Amaru, thanks :)

Thanks...the wheels were an absolute bargain from Upgarage, though ideally I would have liked white/silver LM-GT4's or maybe TE-37's...

The Accord is running on 17inch Rays Versus and a complete Tein suspension kit - and despite being very low the ride is surprisingly smooth.

You all have such sweet sweet cars! what's it cost to get one of these and keep it running/yr? I'm looking at moving to Japan a short while after I finish my Engineering Degree at uni - and of course I'd be interested in picking up a nice car (R34 GT-R/Evo VI-VIII/S15/etc)... so long as I can afford everything else :mad:

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
