Well I had a bit of a play with the car today and found this............. :)

The common broken R32 pedal box. Nismo have an uprated thing but I'll get mine re welded and strengthened if at all possible.

Looks like I won't make it to Lobethal Lights, might try and borrow the oldies car.

Sounds like the same issue.

The R32's are known for it when running 800kg+ clutches.

Mine made a pop/click type noise and felt slightly funny, thats why I decided to check it as I know the issue does exist. :)

And sure enough..............

*bump*

ah, i had this problem about a year back, welded it up and she's all sweet now. I can probably do it for you if you like!

Damn thats a nasty problem Cubes sorry to hear.

Well I got my car back tonight (and fixed in a deacent time frame YAY!) but I didn't get home until after 6. Was down having a drink with Mike Doyle for a while with his guys at the repair shop, good blokes down there.

Was a bit of a drama.. Drove a VN dunga door down in to adelaide, got the pedal box welded up for $30 went the start the dunga door and it wouldn't start.

This was just after 3pm. The next bus came at 4:50pm!!!!

So I hung around until then bused it home, gabbed something to eat and left home around 8:30pm :)

Drove up to Lobethal, had an awesome run, no one in front, missed the turn off as I was enjoying myself so much. Got back in to town by around 11:00pm.

    • 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.
    • 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.
