hello all, as the topic says, im moving to QLD. where u may ask.. Emerald in fact!!

just wondering if any one lives there or Rocky or any where close

any way would b good 2 meet any one up that way,

Hey i'm not aware of any members that live up there but i work out there occasionally (just did 3 weeks about a month ago). I hope you have accomodation and a decent wage sorted cos its freakin expensive to live out there! rental prices are mad..

Didn't spot any skylines up that way - its v8's, landcruisers and minitrucks as far as i saw.

Emerald is quite some way from the big smoke...

But Ska is up that way and would love to spot you driving around. He gets all excited when he sees a skyline cause there is not much up there... Other than dust and heat...

Emerald is about 250km inland from rocky...

its no good owning a decent car when most of the road u have to travel are crappy outback ones, so that is why most ppl who live in these places have 4wd etc bcoz they need them to go offroad and also for there farms. skylines are just impractical out in those areas

actually daz most of the major roads are better quality than you'd think, i was pleasantly surprised. Still, if all you can afford is a farm shack then might be a different story. A couple of streets in toowoomba and inner brisbane have by far the worst major roads i've ever driven on in qld.

Most of the main roads are OK due to the fact there is a lot of traffic and money out there. I have seen a few lines around Moranbah and a few more in Mackay. Not too maney on this site. Also the amount of 4WD's have got a lot to do with the amount of money people make there and the fact that nearly everyone owns a boat and use the 4WD to tow them. I lived there all my life. Just moved to Brisbane 12 months ago.

Haha, i'm from Toowoomba and that's very true but you never really notice it because you can never get over 45km/h due to the number of old people on the road.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      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.

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
