It's finally here (HDJ81)
Damn, is it nice!!
This weekend it will be going for a nice long highway run but around town it is comfortable, quiet, powerful. This rig turns heads, Berni drove it to the detail shop and i followed watching people turn their heads to watch it go by, other drivers pull up along side and give the thumbs up. The old boy sure is an attention grabber. <In real life the sticker looks good, real good> http://www.luxuryimports.ca/forsale/...81-1/index.php __________________ pulling this info out of my ass so take it with a pound of salt contact me at wayne@crushersrule.com Wayne Owen Sound Ontario http://www.ivoac.ca separating the rumours from the truth. join today www.CAVI.ca Dealers join the CAVI to protect your rights |

That is Sweeeeet. Congratulations! I bought a 90 4wd Corolla wagon and you make a lot of friends driving in the summer with the windows down. You stop noticing all the Gawkers after awhile though. I would have loved to buy a diesel HDJ but the parts hassle scared me off. I keep wondeing if I should have everytime I see one though. However the Corolla has been awesome.
Enjoy the cruiser and welcome to the RHD club

thank you for the compliment,
i have sold a few of these rigs now and have worked on Cruisers for almost 25 years. Finding the parts is simple enough, you just need the part number (EPC) and a source. We have souces for ANY part needed for the rigs we sell. I would LOVE to keep this rig but if you saw my dog you would understand why i do not deserve a rig like this one. the corolla is a sweet unit...what kind of fuel milage do you get? BTW, i am used to the "your on the wrongs side" / "actually i am on the RIGHT side" but yesterday my wife and i pulled up to the local Tim's and the young lady opens the window and says "oh, you have one of those BACKWARD cars" seems that there have been a couple guys backing through the drive-through... THAT made me laugh. cheers and thanks again __________________ pulling this info out of my ass so take it with a pound of salt contact me at wayne@crushersrule.com Wayne Owen Sound Ontario http://www.ivoac.ca separating the rumours from the truth. join today www.CAVI.ca Dealers join the CAVI to protect your rights |

 I didn't realize you were an importer when I read your post. Could you give me an idea what some of those parts sources may be. with my car I can get most of the parts at the dealer since it was sold here, but it would be good to have a source for some of the RHD specific items. Also how are you getting the Part #'s |

HDT a dog?!?! really, never heard it called that before.
Dan or Kevin at www.4wheelauto.com www.g&scruiserparts.com Dave at Japan4x4 Mot at motoomi@yahoo.com these are the ones i deal with, very personable and knowledgeable. Luxury is one of the oldest (of the new generation) importers in Canada. when we started up, Lost Guide was the first real Land Cruiser importer and Mustang was just getting started. we started up a few months after Lost Guide and bought lost guide out a few years ago now. then a flood of importers sprung up especially in the west and we decided to seperate ourselves from the masses by specializing in only high end units....quality instead of quanity became our goal. personally i have been wrenching on Cruisers for 26 years and started restoring cruisers back in 95, Luxury started in late 2002 and went "high-end only" in 2005. we still bring in the lower units but very rarely and usually only by customer request. do a scroll through the sold section and notice the condition and milage of the units we have sold. also the testimonials speak for themselves, we are the only company that i know of that actually puts contact info up (with permision) so prospective buyers can conact and ask previous buyers how they feel months even years after their purchase. I am proud of the company we have built up, i hope it shows. cheers __________________ pulling this info out of my ass so take it with a pound of salt contact me at wayne@crushersrule.com Wayne Owen Sound Ontario http://www.ivoac.ca separating the rumours from the truth. join today www.CAVI.ca Dealers join the CAVI to protect your rights |

i have held back on the skylines since they are almost impossible at this time to make DOT complient...
i watched as a GTR with 5000 km (five thousand km) in grade 5 with a "A" interior sell in Japan for $35,000 to a Japanese resident a month or so back. i did put a bid of $25,000 on it for personal consumtion but was SHOCKED to see it go for so much... i believe that was the highest price paid for a 1991 GTR... cheers __________________ pulling this info out of my ass so take it with a pound of salt contact me at wayne@crushersrule.com Wayne Owen Sound Ontario http://www.ivoac.ca separating the rumours from the truth. join today www.CAVI.ca Dealers join the CAVI to protect your rights |
