yep we are having one on 22nd Jan (2 weeks) to Upper Yarra dam See Post Vic state cruise.

Shame to hear about the stagea but come along if you can,

Just ring your insurance company, they have more clout with these operators, there was a thing on tele that i saw last night and the sleezy operator didn`t want anything to do with him and there is no recource.
Your insurance company will do the job and you wont loose your no claim bonus.

starting to look good guys , keep up the good work, should be terrific day.

Expressions of interest are open for the next Victorian run to upper Yarra dam on the 22nd Jan 2012 , assembly point will be as usual at Monash Uni Wellington rd where Mick will lead the group to Upper Yarra Dam for a get together/BBQ/chat. Maps and times will be posted at a later date when we decide on specifics.

I had a problem with the import factory myself , known as Kamakazi when i dealt with them, They damaged the R/H rail because some moron was to heavy handed and damaged the rail , then they fitted cheap tyres to my Volts which fell apart , then they borrowed parts from me to put in another customers car and three years later still trying to recover my stuff Not Happy
+1 for Phil at Tokyo Prestige (in VIC)
I bought my NM35 Axis Autech from Phil. Car has been great.
Poor bloke got pretty sick when he was over in Japan looking for my car. Regardless he was very helpful and keen to help. Communication is the key with importers. You want to make sure they let you know of everything that is going to happen. Phil delivers. I knew exactly where my car was, I knew about the duty for importing, I knew about the steam cleaners which were cleaning it all out. etc.
If you are going to use 'The Import Factory' in Nunawading VIC for compliance, my suggestion would be to get the car checked over by your fav. mechanic and road worthied before getting compliance done by The Import Factory. Their rates are pretty high ($110 an hour for generic mechanic work) which is pretty steep for something which I don't really think was quality work.
I had to organise a windscreen replacement (it was cracked probably in transport) because The Import Factory couldn't find one. (WTF?)
I also had to double check most of their quotes because they couldn't be bothered finding the best components at the cheapest price. They wanted to import full suspension arm sub-assy's when I only needed some new bushes (cracked rubber covers on the castor arms - RWC problem) as an example.
The mechanics didn't do the basics, such as an oil change and filter change (I drained the engine oil/gearbox oil/ brake fluid/radiator fluid, and most of them were pretty dark like the car had knocked off 5-10K). I think it's a compliance regulation they must change the brake fluid...
I had the car checked over by my local mechanic ( nothing like a second pair of eyes) to check anything I may have missed (usually I don't but it's better to be safe than sorry).
After having the basic bits and pieces fixed, I noticed the child restraints The Import Factory had fitted were leaking water into the back of the car. I fixed it by making up some simple foam gaskets and mounting it underneath. Luckily I found the leaks appearing on the carpet. Otherwise I probably would have never found it.
Aside from all of these small issues, the car has been great. Love it. Love how the damn thing grips in the wet. Handling is pretty good in the dry and the wet and fairly predictable for a reasonably fat wagon. It's a great cruising and you can fit a surprising amount in the boot.

Well , I have done the ground work and inquired about Upper Yarra Dam, seems that there is heaps of room, BBQ`s plenty of undercover shelter for hot/wet days and plenty of room for kids so it will be a good venue.
All we need is to choose a date, Dec 4th is a bit close Dec 11th could be an option or after christmas sometime in January , maybe 22nd or 29th.
All i need is input from everyone on the date etc and we can go from there
-
I would rather have 5 that are interested and still have a good day.
-
on another note , i will go up to the dam and see what the deal is and how many car parks , BBQ`s etc ,Maybe a Australia day BBQ, any thoughts?
-
probably see you up there mitch , might go for a run myself, there is a hugh auction at warby on the way.
-
what about upper yarra dam, there are bbq`s there and plenty of room ,just a thought
-
thats about the best idea i have seen for ages, give everyone plenty of timeto organise themselves.
-
Hi mick , bit of a pissoff , i tried to get info on this cruise and it is like trying to pull teeth. I think we need to make a date and stick to it , the last one up M`CMAHONS CREEK ROAD WAS A BUZZ however maybe just have a get together and have a yack , maybe BBQ or what ever.
-
hope so saturday is going to be a grouse day to detail the car
-
you wont get much of a ride on rubber bands, consider the rolling radius/speedo readings plus it will be cop bate and highly illegal,
-
count adam and myself out on the 6th Buisy
-
yep pisser we will be there, coming from yarra junction so adam and i will see you guys there.
-

Hi I am pretty sure that this a straight change over as i was going to do it with mine,I have a mate who thinks that he can convert the dash to english as every one else has put it in the too hard basket.I have had my sons dash apart also and it looks identical to my wiring loom.
The question i have is what are you going to do with the old unit you discard ?
