Sounds good STAGEN, you happy with the performance? The time is getting close till I get my car ^_^ Cant wait! :)

Cheers,

Chris

For a daily driver, it's fine. With the exhaust (once l get it ... don't ask :D ) and a few other things l think l'll be quiet content with it.

I've got another car for my performance needs.

AMS, na better, i was exactly the same

When i was looking around for a Stagea i was reading up heaps here and asking questions and stuff.

But its funny, because i am saying that even with the amount of people on this stagea forum which isnt many, several still havnt received theirs yet, highlighting the uniqueness and rarity of a stagea in Australia.

Mmm...cant wait to upgrade to a M35 in ~2 years when compliance and all that exists!

Well, the way things are going at the moment, there are several investments i will be making and possibly putting a deposit down on a house. So that could limit me with money spending.

The way i see things, enjoy everything while it lasts. Manualize the car now, will be more fun for the time being. Hey, i dont know what will happend, i may keep it for a long time or i could upgrade, but the plan at the moment is that within 2-3 years to be able to afford an M35

Got the strut bar in ... and WOW ... does that make one hell of a big difference. No longer does it feel so "floaty" round corners. Thanks again Alex for it!! :)

For the melb pep's ... ICE performance, best place to go to get a SAFC II tuned? Its installed, just need tuning done on it.

Exhaust & other parts that weren't originally sent down with car still not here, dragging the chain a bit they are. Supposedly l'm guarantee'd it mon/tues next week, l'm not holding my breathe though.

And my 18's are going soon as well ..... new, bigger shoe's & rubber are going on .... W00T!! :P:)

On another note, haven't received one bad comment bout the car, everyone that see's it loves it ... according to one mate "once the wheels & wing are on, thats one awesome Jap Cruiser!!". Even got a few thumbs up & smiles from other skyline drivers i've seen when out driving!!

Your car is a little more noticable then mine.

I dont get too many thumbs up, infact, heaps of people even dont notice :)

Told you to hold off putting the strut bar for a week, so you can actually feel the differce. Most people have them std and take it for granted :P

I held off for a week .. was registered last thurs :P

And can def tell the difference. Once l have some spare coin l might look into the rear strut bar as well.

my car looks the same as yours atm ... well just a bit lower coz of kit. Still got the 33 wheels on it.

Next chassis bracing that ill get is the Do-Luck RXB (rear cross bar)

Goes from the driver seatbelt bottom point, to the passenger. I have heard good things about them, and they, as much as possible helps. I dont really want a cage either, that would kinda ruin the car.

Rear strut brace would be annoying for carrying stuff, so not sure about that either.

Yup, swaybars will be my first point of call with the suspension, just got to save a little more. At this stage(a) - sorry, bad joke but I luv it! - after todays further tuning I wont be doing anymore mods until next July, when I get my yearly work bonus.

Then I grab a rear shock for the Fireblade, and swaybars and front discs/braided lines for the Stagea. I only drive it a few times a week, so not really needing suspension work done as yet.

Stagen, glad you are now on the road! AMS, its now 1500 posts, whats going on?! Addicted Id say! :P

Brendan

    • 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.
