kirk28 Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 Ok so home for the weekend, and finally got it registered with plates. I went to the VTNZ counter and the same rude ignorant bitch who we will call 'W' was there, and again was completely a rude bitch, so I told her that her customer service skills were atrocious., and if she worked for me she would be fired, and she needed training - she replied with "You need training", so much for the customer is always right. I called her a pig, and she walked out the door presumably to eat some pies. When she left other staff members said "shes always like this" , but they are too afraid to complain about her one said " I've already been cut back to part time" - so she's a work place bully to boot. so I made a complaint to her manager but he was only available on his mobile, and who never called me back....long story short - avoid VTNZ in the Waiwhakaiho valley if you want proper service and don't like being totally misinformed and treated with contempt. I'll email my complaint to the boss who never returned my calls, plus his boss and his boss. See earlier posts ... DON'T USE VTNZ Waiwhakaiho valley NP. The guys there are good, but this cunt just doesn't make it worth it...trust me. Anyway put on the JDM doilies - like icing on a wedding cake... really makes it look like a hearse. I like. Thanks to the CHCH VTNZ who had originally filled in the compliance sheet as a 7 seater - the VTNZ up here used the same details and it's now registered as one.. Plus put in the faux wood accents...oh yerrrrrrrrrr Anyway it's legal. I just need a HIVAC climate control unit as mine appears to be had it, so the heater is on high full bore and the a/c doesn't work. Forgot how soft and floaty this thing is to drive, think marshmallow's wrapped in a duvet on a waterbed, on top of a trampoline.will lower and get proper wheels, convert to round headlamps and re-tint it when home next. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirk28 Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 ok, so have finally found rear wipers on Yahoo.co.jp. surprisingly hard... The car's heater control is still being fixed, 3 times it's been in and three times it has to go back in, it's a pain in the ass because the heater is jammed on the foot vents and on high making it very uncomfortable to drive for more than 10 mins... also need to get these round headlights, the more I see them on the 130's the more I need them.. Also some came out with these front spoiler lips, would be rad to get one, and also I've seen the spoiler lip on the top of the rear tailgate.. shall keep on looking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirk28 Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 Seems to be a common problem, pain in the ass, so far it's cost me $600 and still doesn't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirk28 Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 So have another heater control and will pull this back outta the garage when I get back into NZ.. Am hoping this time it won't blow the resistors in the unit may be a problem further on in the system this car is made of relays.. Time will tell. Century wheel covers on.. Badly needs lowering is as high as the sky tower. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirk28 Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 So anyway bought a GS131 heater control unit to test, worked fine but the unit was from a different dash so swapped out the resistors in my blown unit and now my heater turns on/off plus the air con front back and the rear fridge is ice cold... Win... So finally got dash back together with a stereo and reversing camera (once you have a car with a camera it's hard to not have one) plus screwed the dash all back together.. First time since I've had it, also stuck on the rest of the woodgrain inserts.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirk28 Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 Was sick of the ocean-liner type handling so got some new shocks front and rear... Rides and handles so much better now, will get some lowered springs for it from yahoo Japan - only drops it 50mm but whatev's the factory springs are pretty soft and probably at 22 years of age have reached their end of usable life.. Prob get them out in when I'm back in NZ at Xmas. also put in a new top tank on the radiator- $220 a lot better then forking out $1000 from Toyota NZ or getting a new aftermarket from Japan yahoo that would take 4 weeks plus be around $700 landed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirk28 Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 New shocks; new radiator ready for a 1000km trip 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirk28 Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 Car was nice on the trip; the IJ will move it but I've had a 1jz NA crown before and a 2jz Crown.. Ideally this would have been lush as a 3.0 standard: am seriously considering dropping in a 2j.. There's one on TM with 35,000km apparently certified from a 1994 Soarer... $2500 is a lot for a non-VVTI probably even with the low kms... Anyway not wanting to rehash I have a post in the tech section... A N/A 2J would just make this so much sweeter as a summer vacation wagz... https://oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/57007-1jzge2jzge-experts-please/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
