Congrats rowan.

Its a nice car... All it needs are, nicer wheels, 5/6spoke type, preferably in bronze/silver.

And the exhaust tips are ugly, change them

AND, i'm interested in another soarer, but i can't afford one now, hahaha!

as i said - if anyone's interested in another soarer talk to myself, or the masked baron that's helping me out - (dont wanna name drop incase he doesn't wanna, he can disclose any and all info about the masked baron)

but yeah - if anyone is interested in a pearl white 97 Lpackage soarer with wald bodykit and 18" mesh type wheels and exhausts, talk to me...

106xxx km single turbo vvt 1J

did i say it was an L package yet? =)

oh and lowered too...

EDIT: pearl white soarer is clean, no rust was grade 4.5 (or 4 can't remember) B grade exterior and B grade interior (like new for it's age)

and no i'm not changing those exhausts i love them! they're the lexus IS F exhausts :kiss:

oh noes it's missing a stereo that has language and touch screen in japanese with a japanese GPS sat nav that has no use in australia

...guess i'll just have to buy a pioneer touch screen double din then :kiss:

guise - it's misisng it's stereo because owner obviously replaced orig with aftermarket and kept the stereo for his next car, this is not uncommon to happen, also

i think this would also explain the high offset 17" work vsxx

for all i know the car may have had 20" riverside trafficstars and been a TAS competitor or something (unlikely but you never know)

i'm not going to disclose much more info about this car cos ... it's mine and i haven't GOT it yet

but i do however know that the interior retrim has been performed by a top retrim shop in J ... i beleive the brand is embroidered on it somewhere??

it's an interesting piece of kit :D

and shan - STAY OUTTA MAI LIFE! haha

and no i didn't pay THAT much for it - but if i disclose the figure i'm going to get a million and forty knuckle draggers saying "you could have got one for less if you just bought locally"

oh hello

good news everyone

i'm at my desk here at work, i just scratched my cheek and turns out i have a very juicy ripe pimple beneath my skin

now if you'll excuse me i must go to the mens' and play what i like to call "colour in the mirror glass"

    • who can tell me what this is and why my car talks to me? i think it's hilarious. it's on my r34 right above the drivers-side storage compartment. the characters under the wrench say "inspection". every 10 or 20 startups, a voice starts talking in japanese from some speaker in this area below the dashboard. it says a few sentences then shuts off. different from the ETC card reader voice that happens every time i start the car. I've never found the speaker, i've never been able to catch the voice and translate what it says, and i've never found a forum thread that tells me how to reset the warnings. the holes in between the symbols are NOT buttons you can press to reset the warnings. anyone else have this? has the demon lord from Hereditary infected my car?!
    • Would you ever vent this bonnet or will it be unnecessary?
    • Happy new years folks! Wishing you all a successful year of money pit ownership!  So the subframe bushes are out....   Ok, who else has done that job before??  What a C U Next Tuesday of a job that is!  Be glad to not do that again in a hurry! I think I explored every option available to chop the middle section of the bushes out, most of them unsuccessfully! I tried a holesaw, die grinder, normal drill bit, air chisel, etc, etc. The true success happened by accident when I'd decided to try a step drill I spotted on the bench on the way passed.  See, there are benefits to never cleaning up after yourself! It RIPPED through so so much better than the drill bit. It has to be the skinniest one available so its small enough to fit between the inner tube and outer casing but it made easy work of it.  First one i hammered the shit out of... New method- 20250102_185506.mp4   I did the other 5 in less time than I fluffed around with the first one. With the first couple I used the cut off saw (sawsall as the yanks love to call them) to cut a break in the outer casings. Even with that they're still a prick to hammer or air chisel out.  The last few i just went rambo with the air chisel without cutting them. I over cut one of the early ones so will hit the with the mig to fill the cut then sand it off smooth.  The carnage left over-   I've also been "nesting" ie, cleaning up my babies nursery,  ie cleaning the f**king pig sty of a shed. I've got that much shit laying around it's as cluttered as my head!  Getting things put away, in boxes, on shelves, hanging off walls, all to get some working space back again.  Hopefully that keeps me motivated....
    • AFAIK does the base map for Haltech even have the 4D compensation enabled? It's been a while but when I looked at it I remember it was actually using pure TPS as one load signal and MAP for another. Seemed workable but not ideal by any stretch. A lot of people have "make the event-itis" which leads to stuff like this happening.
