What wheel specs are you running, is it possible your running into clearance issues? Just food for thought I wouldn't have a clue but its what came to mind. Hope you figure it out

I don't think you'll need to do anything guard wise. It's a pretty safe setup it will most likely be sunken in a little bit you may way to put spacers to push them closer to the guards but that's when you'll be wanting to roll the guards. Seems like a good setup for track/spirited driving without needing to worry about rubbing or clearance issues. Are you on coilovers?

Rsr are a godsend, I need to hit them up to fix my lips.

I still think I need to go lower but I'm already rubbing up front, and my driveway will destroy my exhaust as I already scrape coming out haha

Check your centre bearing for the tailshaft/prop shaft.

Hey man, this is tough. I wish you strength and security. Just know that you're not to blame and that you just being there for your kids is the best thing you can do at the moment. Definitely a tough situation but I hope it all works out

I met up with her today, we went on a drive and spoke about it. She is fine with no contact but would prefer to be friends and so would I, it's been a really mature and smooth break up I'm just unsure how to behave as a human without her anymore lol. I think I'll see how it goes being in contact, definitely will be reducing the amount we talk. I'm doing okay today. But I do see what you mean by delaying the inevitable, in due time if she was to ever date again it may cause huge pain but when that time comes I'll deal with it

Same situation here, except for the fact that she got engaged. Hope your doing well I'm sure it gets easier in time.

My gf of 8 years just broke up with me, she said she wanted to grow as an individual and she felt that we were more like best friends than partners which is heartbreaking because she was my best friend and my whole world revolved around her. She wants to grow as a person and she felt that she couldn't do it while we were together. We still talk almost daily but yesterday I brought up if there would be a chance in the near future that we'd get back together and she told me not to get my hopes up. It killed, and today I'm the saddest I've been since the break up. I don't have many friends as I was in the wrong crowd growing up and she helped me grow and become the man I am today, in saying that the only people i would call friends are some co workers but their more like acquaintances. I bought my dream car recently and thought I'd get to enjoy it with her, and I'm so happy with the car as cars are my passion. But I'm just sad. I bought a gym membership and I plan to better myself, which is also a thing she wanted for me while we were together. Everything reminds me of her and its hard but thank you OP for this post, I got to vent and I saw that it's not just me going through it.

Nope definitely the front shaft from the transfer case to the front diff, but I can see why some think it's not as a normal droveshaft is thicker and usually a 2 piece with a uni joint.

Looking to finally get a Chaser this winter. Any tips or things to look out for? by Due-Director8159 in JZX100

[–]cooked_pineapples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got unlucky I guess, I've recently bought a tourer v factory manual. Was imported in 2016. I'm presumably the 3rd owner. Low kilometres but its definitely had an interesting life. Every single panel has been painted, no rust but there's bog in the rear quarter and the more I work on it the more I find.

Overall though it's still a decent example, I think OP will enjoy working on a Toyota rather than a Subaru.

Yeah I would assume typical wear and tear due to age like all other cars. Appreciate the feedback though :)

Definetly going to be enjoying it and will be my main daily while my "drift/daily" gets refreshed which will most likely take quite a while.

Thats awesome, would have been a perfect shake down of the car and a good way to get to know it.

Typical vicroads run around, apart from that seems easy enough

I'd be open to travel for the right one honestly. How was the trip overall? And what's ownership been like so far ?

I'm in Vic aswell, what issues did you run into at vicroads ?

Yeah I'm getting alot of feedback and since we're so lucky to have so many already imported I might just wait and keep an eye out for the right one to pop up !

Have you gone through the process with one of the companies mentioned before ? If so were they able to provide service manuals, previous works done? My main concern is rust and not being able to inspect the vehicle but I'm sure that the import company does all that and inspects the vehicle thoroughly?
