Just picked up a copy of Autosalon Magazine and what do I see??? SEX ON WHEELS!!! thats right, a perfect shot of a black R32 GTR in the rain doing 1:06 at wakefield? The car was just too sexy, especially with those R34 rims. That picture just convinced me to get an R32 for my next car.

Looking at the engine work done almost make me cringe at how much $$$$ they must have spent doing it up. If you guys are on the forum, two thumbs up on the beautiful car.

Blitzed all of what? The rest of the competing cars? classic

There was a turbo MX-5 there about a second and a half off Russel's pace.

I wouldnt call that "blitzing" in any way at all.

Anyway, here is a link to the 25+ page thread about it:

I met Russell at the Gatton Sprints a few months ago (which they won setting the 2 fastest times) and Mark and Russell share the car for events such as the Dutton Rally. They're machinery mechanics and there's a truck load of money gone into that car. Seeing the car almost made me want to paint mine black, but then i remembered how much a pain in the arse my last black car was.

with out going into the varibles of vechicles strengths and weaknesses, 1.5 seconds on a race track is huge...

:laugh:

and without getting into the fact the MX-5 wasnt 4wd among other things, and being the track was also damp, among other things

best we not go into the variables :ermm:

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
