Get FMIC, boost to 1 bar, and ECU.

ECU will get rid of 180km/h problem, plus more power to play with.

Make sure the one you get has the 4 pot brake calipers. You can never have enough braking power.

With any tubocharged car, if you want more power, say goodbye to fuel economy. If you want fuel economy, then get a stock car. If that's still not good economy for you, then get something else cause turbo cars love juice unfortunately.

Well to be truthful to you i originally wanted a VL Calais Turbo...but my old boy persuaded me to buy something newer and not a family car (haha)...and i'm glad he did. I never really thought anything of skylines until i actually paid some attention to them...the R33 is nice but the R32 is much more my style...it's hard to explain....but i don't appreciate the R33 as much because of it's 'largeness' and it's popularity. They are too common.

I had a test drive of a 5spd R32 yesterday...and woah, i'm in love!! haha. I can't wait till i own one. :(

Any skyline is great :(

The ~$100 yeah, is for like a bleed valve which is the like most basic way to increase boost.

High RPM = lots of petrol unfortunately on a turbo. Engine is turning over more, more fuel is pumped in to keep cyclinders moving, etc.. like Silver-Arrowz says.

Check out www.meggala.com for some very useful info - its where i've learned lots of stuff. He has an R32 himself and u can see what he's done to his car in detail.

hehehe yeah im pretty much with u on that :( i love the R32 shape... i dont find the roundness of the R33 as agressive as the squarer, sharper lines of the 32

thats just me and my tastes... everyone has there own. dont get me wrong the 33 is a great car too!!

hey guys, im also looking at buying a 32 --> manual black gts4 2 door if i can get it for 17 grand or under, or just a GTS-t 2 door, wheres the best place to go im melbourne? i dont care if i have to wait for 10 weeks for it to be imported but i would rather drive/see in person first, but i know the gts4 is kinda rare so i guess i'll have to wait.

nah im over in Dingley near springvalle/cheltenham area

hes an importer but hes in japan... so u wont be able to view it in person which is the only thing that probably wont suit u.

i was a bit weird with not being able to view it til i got it... but it was all good once it was here and ive delt with him a fair bit since and beforehand and can highly recommend him as trust worthy... shit hes so trust worthy he sent me the cooler even tho i dont have the money for it yet :thumbsup:

12k for mine landed and complied... i did nothing he did all the work.

doxxeh got a SAFC off him within 5 days of xfering the cash...

click on my link in my sig :mad:

ps. there probably wont be much on his site its more a "what u want? i'll find it" type thing.

cheers,

Ni

shit thats an unreal price

what sort of condition is it in? and how did you guys work out the whole importation thing? sending pictures over the net or phone convos? is your car manual? 2 door? any mods? and last question did you have a few options of cars, or thats it like or not, so many questions cause that price is good

yeah it was a great price... dunno if he will be able to get one as cheaply now with the new rules... altho im sure something can be worked out.

came pretty stock anyways.

-Catback

-Adj. Shocks

was in fairly good condition... i knew all the things it needed to have done as he told me from the start and theyre so minor i havent bothered doing them yet.

(paint work needs a bit of a touch up, but for a 10yo car ud expect that)

pics and stuff are on my webpage which is also linked inmy sig :thumbsup:

dealt with him mainly via emails and pics etc... he actually had to do a swap to get it back as he sold it already to a guy in NSW who was a car dealer and swapped him a Soarer to get it back for me :mad:

ive spoken to him over the phone a few times as he called to tell me that there were a few issues with the trucking company here in australia in getting it to me on the date told... was late by 4 days.

forgot to add... he had it on his webpage for a while before i decided i wanted it... once ur ready to get one and want to use mark to get it then email him... these days he prefers to get a down payment first before he starts to look as he gets too many time wasters making him look for cars then pulling out... just a small amount not sure what it is... bit like a finders fee and if he cant find what u want u get it back etc that he can tell u as he will know for sure :thumbsup:

      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

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      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.
