Well I picked up my JZZ31 today. I must say it is an awesome, tankish car. It needs a good clean though I must say, and a change of rims. (got a set of volk evolution 4's in the backyard to replace these stich wheels)

My original car:




Then this happened

Apparently the headlights are supposed to turn on automatically in the dark and off in the sun in auto mode. Mine only go on really dim, and I have to manually turn the lights on full in the dark

That's a bit weird about the lights. They should be on or off, not heard of them being dim before.

Your steering wheel has been retrimmed by the looks, the seams are in a different place and it has a gloss finish. The gloss finish will last a lot longer than standard. :-)

Oh really, I just thought it was stock, as its pretty damn immaculate. Is that leather though? Could it be because the car is a 94 model and not a 91 model that the seams are in a different place?

My cupholder latch is broken though :-(

Kevin, does it actually have an "auto" setting on the light stalk? As far as I know auto lights were not available on the JZZ31 - certainly don't have it on mine, and I have most of the options.

Nah, I dont think it has an auto setting on the light stalk.

I put on my volks today. Old rims will be for sale too

If only they were a little wider :-) I had originally bought the volks for the cressida - so its got highish offsets.

Now should I leave the Volk centre caps on or off the car?

Also since my rear brake rotors are nearly shot, does anyone know if these will fit?

Also are the UZZ31 rotors better than those of the JZZ31?
