thanks risking, I will keep them in mind too if covercraft cant do what i need.

Remember, if its not on, its not on.

Seriously though there has been a genuine Nissan car cover for BNR32 brand new on Yahoo for weeks now :action-smiley-069:

mmm that could be an option...

covercraft has just got back to me. he suggested 3 different covers:

one is $380 and is a 4 layer cover

one (noah) is $408 and has a micropouros layer in the middle of the 4 layers.

one is $566 and is a really thin parachute like material but with silicone in it and is 98% water proof, scratch proof etc.

I've had the thin waterproof Covercraft one for about 3 years on one of my cars.

The car is outside under a tree all the time & besides fading from black to grey on the outside, (the inside is still black), it is still 98% water proof.

The only problems I have had is that I had to take it to a trimmer to sew on some straps with plastic clips that go under the car to hold it on in the wind (had to chase it down the street the day after i bought it!)

Also, the stitching has only just begun to undo in the elastic where it rubs on the tyre all the time.

OMGZORS mannn, youze are all pewfs!!!

seriously though just get a 50-100 buck one, no need to go overboard

remember its only a 32GTR we arent talking about bentleys and lambo's here, a cheapish one is not likely to "ruin your paintjob" :blink: almost 600 bucks for a car cover?? :spew:

i went soft of the whole car cover issue. but from what I found out the covercraft ones seem to be the bees knees. I would go for the $410 one with the extra middle layer.

if it means anything i bought a kenco one a few years ago, i have used it on my 4 last cars and it worked perfectly.

fitted nicely, but if it was outside and windy.... you were almost best leaving it of because it moved... it only has one strap on it.

but if your looking for one when the car is inside, then just get your regular cheap ones, they dont scratch and if they have anything on them that might scratch... just cut it off.

the one i have is just a thin 1 layer thing, but its not like a tarp its a very soft fabric. perfect for inside protection.

      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.
