Alex's Mark II

[han16]

Love that engine, gives me many ideas on what I want from my vvti jz

[Alex]

water lines off...



as you can see these flameproof hoses couldn't take the heat transfered from the turbo fittings they were attached to.



new black flameproof hoses on! and looking sexy in black.
new coolant added as i lost the last lot onto the road :/



new vertex race battery! 5.8 kgs of pure awesome hahaha
doesn't quite match the color scheme so will be painted at some stage.



Final result for now! bam bam

[crux]

Any plans for the gap next to the new battery? I have the same battery in the race car and it's not the greatest battery if you intend to leave the car parked for longer periods. I'm sure you won't have that problem though and its a great battery!

[Alex]

hey man! no plans for the space atm, any suggestions?
so far its been a great battery!!! started everytime first time. love it.
got a new camera today.. its not a dslr but.. much better than the other crap one i had haha.

Nice man nice!

[Alex]

Slight update: my bov was stuck shut
so finally got around to pulling it apart the other day..
turns out the spring was rusting making it seize,
so i cleaned, Greased it with some nice grease and re assembled!
Wahlah! it now goes PSHHHHHHH again

[Ventourer]

hey man let me know where your at, i'm going to come around and buff your headlights. Should make the car look way better, such a simple thing but makes a huge difference. all helps with the sale too!!

[Alex]

hahaha thanks for the offer bro! but i do polish them from time to time,
but they just keep re oxidizing, its just one of the curses with these cars
i use proper plastic polish compound also..

[PSIBRG]

I use heavy duty cut and polish on mine keeps them nice and clear... for about a week
There is a specific headlight restoration kit that the Aussie guys use, pretty sure I saw it posted on the JZX World forums. Comes complete with a few grades of sandpaper and then finishes off with a special UV polish (I think?) that makes them crystal clear and prevents them from oxidizing again.

[Alex]

mmmm, to be honest, It's not worth that much trouble to me,
I think ill just polish them before a photo shoot or something
maybe if it was going to be a showcar I would worry.
