What sort of car do you think you'll bring back when you do come home?

I've had my E5 for a few years now. Bought her in 2001, then she was only 3 years old. Sourcing an immaculate, undamaged and low kilometres one is where I spent so much money, then came the tuning :D. When I thought I was done tuning the Evo, I started to look at Chasers but end up spending more money on the Evo. So the Evo is all that's coming home.

They are very nice and the prices are getting better, I have a JZX90 Mark II about to leave I was looking at a 100 but they are still twice the price of a 90 and you can have only so many toys.

One thing I learnt is the 90 and 100 suspension is the same and Supra wheels fit as well.

You will love the stuff avialable out of Hyper Rev for them and on Yahoo Japan.

The motor is smooth as, is it Manual or Auto.

Evos are awesome. Well out of my price range though.

Thanks for the tips DRIFTT. Have you got a link for Hyper Rev?

I had to get an auto unfortunately. The manuals are ridiculously expensive. I heard the split between manual/auto was 10/90, which explains the price premium.

You can get them direct at http://www.news-pub.com/magazine/details.html?pid=13 and you want Vol 86 it covers Mark II, Chaser and Cresta, heaps of stuff in them.

I get mine off Graham at www.japanparts.com and his direct [email protected] or 001181353827364, I like dealing with him and he is a Ex Kiwi and easy to deal with, when you want parts you go Volume 86 JZX100 Chaser page 46, Apexi Induction, nice and easy.

I order a few each month,

As much as its stock man that is nice! I saw my first real life one the other day at my mechanics. Sooooo nice. I just cant get over them.

I wanted one so bad, but about $40k more than the cef for a manual, not quite in the price range (about 2years ago that was tho)

Vol 26, 55 and 86 are all the Chasers...86 being the latest one as mentioned and the perhaps the best one to read first.

I have almost all the Hyper Rev volumes and have been reading them for a number of years, Rezz has seen my full collection (I don't bother with the Honda ones...sorry).

Hyper Rev is good as a guide and parts directory, but beware of the setup power output they claim. If you know your engine you'll know the list of mods on some of the setup printed will not yield xxxhp. Tuning Shops will not tell all their secrets also it's a book to help promote the shop....i.e tuning in Japan. But if you know the tuners circle and you'll know which shop knows their shit :D.

I dont think yo'll be regretting it mate, that car is nice. and Something I would love to own. But I'll stick with the GTR for a while now :(

Nice rims aren't that expensive these days, and a light exhaust is cheap as chips to give it a nice sound. other then that I wouldn't touch it

Haven't got it yet. If you could scan them in, that'd be awesome. The dark blue colour (if it's the stock one) is really nice. The deep dishes shoudl really set it off too. I had to decide between the green and the blue and a car in green came up first, so I bought that one.

Is it a series 1 or 2?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
