What motor are we talking?  And which car?  The coupe or the sedan?

I cannibalized my Hilux project and pulled the L24e from it and fitted it to the sedan.

The hilux is now a no go. It will be sold for next to nothing, or dumped. I need it gone, so I can begin on the coupe.

Nope. Springwood. That's the issue.

Jason jumped in our car at springwood, cruised around all night, got back to springwood, and drove his stock standard ca NA silvia the 100m to Springwood maccas and the cops pounced on him even before he got out of the car. His numberplate isn't visible to australian standards apparently.

They said that my plates were ok along with the commodore beside us. They were targetting each and every silvia that came into the carpark sat night. As soon as one came in, they pounced.

Pretty pathetic.

actually.. friday night too i saw them around there too.. they were doing over a commodore.. so least it's not *all* the imports.

I think they are on a big revenue raise.. why exactly I don't know.. It's not as if a lot of the fatal accidents involving imports have been in QLD at all.

Its ok Jason, I whinged for you

^~^~^~^~^ - This here is why cops suck. The guy left his girlfriends dead stock automatic CA18 powered non-turbo silvia at Springwood and hitched a ride with us down the coast. Once he returned he drove the massive 100m up the road to Springwood Maccas to have a yap before heading home.... Unfortunately a pair of chumps wearing badges decided his car was defectable for his numberplate. Never mind the fact its dead stock with the numberplate fitted in the factory position, these guys decided a defect was definately neccesary. The reason given was that the plate cannot be read from a 45 degree angle at a distance of 20m. Im assuming this is because that is the angle required for a speed camera or red light camera to identify your numberplate and send you a nice revenue raising bill in the mail. Plenty of local cars in the carpark also suffered from this identical problem, specifically an Astra sitting two carpark spaces... In the meantime, countless rust buckets oil-smoked their way through the carpark. So yeah, just a warning to you silvia owners - check your numberplate position. Dunno how you are supposed to rectify this situation (but then again neither did the pair of chumps), so maybe a call to department of transport to clarify the laws on this? As a side note, if the owner of a red celica with a GT-FOUR bonnet (prehaps the whole car is a GT-FOUR but I didnt take enough notice) notices any dents and scratches on the passanger side of the bonnet, its because one of the chumps dropped his copper issue bum-bag utility belt thing full of heavy shit on the bonnet. A pity the night was ruined by the most roadworthy and legal car of all of us getting an unfair fine, but thems the breaks. Hopefully he can succesfully contest it as it would be pretty crap if a car can be legally complied with a defect like that. Anyway, feel free to whinge... I sure did.

    • 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.
    • Trailer got new mudguards to accommodate the new wheels Lightweight ally Painted, stickered and done ✅ 👌  
    • Did you hit up the search function? R33 and greddy and cable returns this thread with some options.   https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/358214-rb25-throttle-body/
