^^^are they veilside andrew V's?? or a china copy.. you have little to no hope of getting them if they're veilsides man.. and Jangles - well spotted.. that is pretty much the exact colour and wheels i suggested.. toff - end result will probably end up looking a bit like my car - except WAY better if you use Weds Kranze LXZ. you'd be suprised what pearls result in colours to the naked eye.. for instance.. white paint with blue pearl:

it's different kits... like sideskirts are something else.. but...

^^^^^this. all you need to know is - turbo = less compression inside cylinders providing less response. this area in the rev range is called "lag"

lol. skittles you're about as epic as i am. i admire you for that. but yeah - jzx100 interior = wrank. jzx100 engine = awesome. jzx100 styling = cool-ish but i do worry that coming from a mazda3.. i worry you will get tired of this car quickly.. obviously the zx110 is out of your price range - but not by much... my advice is.. SAVE UP, and get a 110. you will not regret it.. ...dude what about a V35 sedan?? you probably wouldn't be too impressed by them but if you're looking for new and "low down" power then what about them? you could easilly buy one and have heaps of change left over.. EDIT: from what i'm reading you would be a perfect candidate for my experiment - i didn't think of this until AFTER i bought my soarer.. but here's what you do: go on carsales buy a lexus GS300 for ~10grand - try for 9.. these cars are bullshit cheap nowadays. make sure it's black or red. cos red or black are the best colour out. then get in touch with your fellow victorian small business owner of import monster pty ltd. and tell him to get you a low km manual vvti 2JZGTE half cut of a JZS161 aristo. then take the car to him and give him a bag of money to put the new engine into your GS300. it's a straight swap - so don't be afraid. then get a few extra aftermarket parts here and there.. like oh i dunno maybe some OEM BMW wheels and some coilovers. maybe some series two lights i dunno ust go crazy on importmonster. with a budget of what you would NORMALLY pay to get a chaser.. (fairly low graded import sedan with 2.5lt turbo with wrank interior..) you get - Lexus luxury and classy styling lexus plush LEATHER interior + features 3ltr sequential twin turbo engine + big brake kit from your front cut WITH manual transmission (if you want it, or get an auto front clip ) i personally would consider the choice a fairly obvious one myself..

haha in that case anything low key.. with all that aero and wheel visuals youll have... your fiocus should shift to the addage.. old money whispers.. so anything soft spoken is win.. face it. you have one of the most unique cool cars imagineable. youre gonna have weds kranze LXZ (yeah you are gonna get these.) youre gonna have a sick bodykit... the paint should just be a statement to turn it down a bit... my personal pick is white with black pearl to make the white look even whiter

lol tryhard softy nah baby blue would look excellent.. honestly - the colour of the car REALLY depends on what wheels the car s sitting on... so - what rims are you sitting on?? also - - - LOL at how i call it a metallic sand and how kris calls it metallic olive.. nobody knows waht that colour is called haha but it's bloody awesome.. the toyota metallic red is nice.. but again - something like a red would only look good with work emotion XD9 in white.. ..just sayin.. sooo yeah - what wheels are you wearing?? cos that will help you find your answer easier

chaser is getting a bit "common" these days.. i just worry that you'll regret it when you see one of "those dudes" driving one.. ..you know.. the dude that's somehow ALWAYS got sunburned red dry skin.. dried out lips.. a wobbly nose, blonde hair carved into a mohawk / mullet hybrid.. wears "tapout" jackets everywhere he goes no matter what it's like outside.. if i saw "that guy" driving the same car as me i'd feel a bit gutted personally.. then again that's coming from me - a dude that drives a freakin soarer. but yes - general consensus is as follows: toyota engine are better than nissan engine sooo engine wise it's end of story there.. but things i'd like to add.. mark2 looks MUCH better and classier than chaser the toyota auto "sludge box" is actually a real pleasure to drive.. it's not messy at all.. the chaser interior is butt... not much different to R34 sedan interior.. just saying i don't really like either interior.. if your budget can afford it - i recommend stretching it out to a JZX110.. if you can.. ^^^looks a lot nicer than the chaser IMO ..and to summarize what i was saying about interiors.. ^^^chaser ^^^JZX110 interior

Import Papers

^^^this which is why i always say - you're buying a CAR not paperwork.. (i really need to stop saying that. it's becoming like a tourette's twitch, my work colleagues are starting to worry) (who am i kidding i've been unemployed for two days now *cries* ) haha but yeah - back on topic.. you were asking what those papers mean - we told you they have little to no relevance ... which... while it's true - doesn't really answer your question.. which was "can we read this japanese stuff" sooooo you can pay a uni student to read it for you - my advice is - take chris out for a day - he's a wealth of knowledge.. so yeah - fly up to qld.. have a look at the car.. take chris with you but remember benevolence goes a long way, so take him out for tea too or go to a movie -
look into bmw colours man.. I love metallic sand.

Oh true that's pretty alarming man.. Definitely fight the good fight man.

Import Papers
Mr Eps replied to ironpaw's topic in Importing, Compliance, Modification Laws & Regulations
Yeah it's better than what you'd get in say scenario two... Where you have a fresh import that has no paperwork... Sorry if what I said earlier seemed callous or abrasive what I was trying to say was... If the compliance work has been done then it's been done.. Also.. Car's now on 90xxxkm and was on 32xxx when it was imported in 05... So basically.. Any issues from japan or fluid changes should have been carried out or replaced during it's time in Australia.. In short... Five years on and 60xxx km later... A few Japanese characters on a PDF file lose their relevance .. The Australian service history and documents are now what's important and if this owner has kept 5 year old Japanese docs then most likely he's kept aust docs too As for me whinging about compliance... My issues were a bit stickier.. In that (if I may be so bold as to disclose details) the evidence package (itemized reciept claiming works performed) were incorrect and weren't conclusive with the physical cars../ Edit none of the below are things that happened these are just examples of possibilities... All I'm saying is.. Let's say trans n brake fluid was replaced in compliance.. That's irrelevant now cos it should've been changed again by now anyway This sounds bad to you I'm sure but all it means is car may not have a third child safety bracket installed.. Or it may mean certain corners were cut to save money.. Doesn't mean I get a worse car.. It doesn't mean my car is worth any less money or that it has shady history.. it just causes massive headache for me at registration inspection... So to summarize yes import docs have relevance but in this instance... Because the car has probably spent the most of it's life and travelled most of it's distance in aust... The Australian history is most important The Melbourne case however... Being a ten year old car that's only been here a matter of months then he'll yeah the jap docs are important -

i don't get it... why is any of this a concern to you as a potential buyer?? i am confused.. you can see condition of the car.. you know how many km it's traveled.. ...what is the relevance of the documents?? and what does it matter if longden compliance's work is reliable or not if it was complied in 2005.. if you are able to inspect the car - then DO that... a small flight ticket is a small price to pay for peace of mind in these instances.. but then again only do that if you KNOW what you're looking for.. and remember.. you're looking at buying a CAR.. not paperwork.. -
lol. what faggotry. rampant rampant faggotry. sorry to hear this bro.. few things - SMELL it first.. make sure you know what you're dealing with before trying anything.. could be a number of things - my gf's swift was vandalised a few weeks back in similar fashion but with choc milk n tomato sauce n kecap manis.. lucky for me i was onto it fast n got it all off.. IF IT IS wood working glue.. you want two of the following: a hot sunny day a heat gun a steam gun a hairdryer a plastic scraper GLOVES make sure you have gloves... there was this one time that i once found out that once glue heats up - it goes soft n runny.. and you can pick it off using your fingers.. but once you have it on your fingers. it's HOT. and that sucks ...so you try wipe it off.. but it's sticky. cos it's glue. and it's hot. cos it's hot. and it spreads. then goes cold. and it sets. cos it's glue. so wear gloves.
