The new family car. Family life doesn't mean you stop playing with cars, you just change priorities and the cars you play with.

These are just some of the 60 pics from Iron Chef's office in Japan. Cannot wait for this thing to land and chuck some front tint, rims, exhaust & a kit on it.

Looks terrific. Which workshop are you getting it complied at?

I saw a black Crown Estate at Revolution Imports a few weeks back.Looked very nice. I too am thinking about getting one of these to haul the family around. It seems like a good compromise.

There are very few of these around, and a lot less are Wagons. Have you been on Aus-vip? Plenty of Crown owners popping up.

Getting it complied at Revolution Imports, just got word this arvo that it's now complied, so it was possibly mine that you saw.

I've joined up on Aus-VIP, no posts yet, waiting until I get the car & doing some research about 1Js.

Car is now home and registered. Needs a good detail before I post up any pics.

Failed initial inspection on the window tint being too dark, had to be removed. HID headlights were also converted by the compliance mob to halogen because they're not auto-levelling and don't have a washer system as per AUS requirements.

Tint and factory HIDs are going straight back on the car now that it has rego.

There were no probs with them giving you the factory hid's?

Atoyot forum that way. >>>> :P

Aus requirements can suck my big one. How is it safer to have water droplets covering your headlight, dispersing the light? I told the compliancer/salesman if it didn't have the HID's in when I came to pick it up, I wasn't paying for it.

Nice car anyway, looks like a C34 stagea at the front, Mercedes rear, but with a decent engine. ;)

The compliance joint has said they'll send them to me and what I do with them from there is my business. They've advised me I'd be defected for them if refitted.

Oh thats good. They used to have to destroy them.

Atoyot forum that way. >>>> :P

Bah! Is the VW one over there also? :P

Here's the electric controls and what I've found playing about so far.

seat controls - forward & back on the seat rail, back rest up & down, base tilt and lumbar support (driver only)
rear seat back rest is adjustable from rear passenger arm rests
sunroof - open, close and tilt
nav/stereo/centre display has individual climate control, TV options, GPS I haven't had much of a play with yet

a few other Japanese buttons that don't work
fold in mirrors with a separate button for mirror demister
PWR/ECT/SNOW button - possibly for road conditions, not sure
traction control
steering wheel has UP buttons on the rear and DOWN buttons on the front. These don't appear to be for the stereo, so possibly cruise control, though I'm yet to work that out.
6 stacker CD player and a tape deck

found a DVD player above the glovebox
has more interior lights than a 70's disco

has green LEDs in the guide lights on the front guards

bad points:

FM band receiver wasn't installed

middle seat belt hs been removed

LHS headlight doesn't work, probably from the bloody halogens being installed

    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys. 
    • So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
    • If you really want squish back, you can have it put on the piston (at least to some extent).
    • Impressive. He's very very smooth.
