1300 aint too bad. Light is good but heavier rigs seem more solid or something.

what kind of suspension design do they have at the front? is it that a-arm thing with the strut running through the middle of an upper control arm?

Looks sick man, don't know why more people don't have these? Seem like fairly good value for what you get. How hard is it to source 1.5/2 LSD's?

yea couple of different engine combos i'm pretty sure, 7mgte's aren't that bad, buy a good h/g and torque it up right and you shouldn't have any problems at all, after reading all keichis zoom mags i found that out, they got like 300kwatw out of one? pretty sure it was sitll cooking with stock internals too

haha theyre a good read eh. i found more mags before i moved but theyre in storage now :(
i recall what you mention about the headgasket, the main weakpoint.
but 1ggte would just be bettter anyway i think. isnt the 1ggte a toyota/yamaha engine?

shift_rook
13th August 2010, 04:34 PM
hook a brother up! but what cc are the 7m? a 2.5 over a 2l? 1g's are pretty much a toyota rb20 yeah? they'd be some tiny arse turbos from factory

meadan
13th August 2010, 04:53 PM
1ggte's are basically junk from factory. But seem to make ok power with a few good mods, i think the stock turbos just make them a bit of a dog to drive. Nonetheless, I loved my old gz20, awesome awesome cars :)

But its good to see you ended up getting this! Its probably THE gz20 in nsw to own. Also haha, i remember giving that gearknob to deano ages ago, duracon trd off ebay...

keiichi
17th August 2010, 08:13 PM
thats harsh :( you get busted ripping some skids in the soarer? lol, nah not lol, sorry :(
dont sell it, how-ever, i would be thinking the same thing. first thing i did when i lost my license is sold my old corona, really regretted it until i got another one (well i traded it for a corolla until my court hearing for some reason).

17th August 2010, 09:28 PM

DUDE
burn.

fuck your luck. this thing is fucking sex.
I have always had a hard-on for these bitches.
GZ20's are when pimpin' stops being a crime, and becomes art.

Try your best to keep her, you'll always regret handing over them keys, especially when it's only because your hand has been forced.
But look at it the other way, having one less car is better than the fines adding up, and then going to jail, or the sheriff's repo-ing her / your house / your family anyway.
And that's coming from a car man.
I'm glad i'm not in your position though.. she's clean.

Keep us posted on how you go.

Just paying fines when they're due, or even not fucking up and getting them in the first place is better than all those things too.

Nice car, would be good if you could hang onto it but well...if your state 'obligations' are so high I can see why it needs to go.

can you go on a payment plan for your fines? i know in SA you can, ive got $3600 worth of fines and i pay em off 40 bucks a fortnight..

This is a good idea!

But if its at license suspension stage you might not have much to bargain with. And not much incentive to stop fucking up either...
