Was just wondering if SA had any cheaper but I found one for the $600 mark and its here in Oz :(

Thanks Maz

From what i know the black ones are...just black...and exactly the same a silver ones. So unless you REALLY want a black 1, ur better off (cheaper) getting the silver one. And if you come to SA, hide it in the glove box :(

some really loud whirring noise in the engine, im bit clueless when it comes to engines but im beginning to think its one of the belts. Really loud when i start the engine and when it on idle.

Hopefully off to mechanics tommorow if i get time and hopin it wont cost me too much! Belts arent normally too much to replace i dont think?

Yeah pretty much. I thought it was making a strange noise several days ago,but then it stopped and everything seemed fine but then started again today only alot worse this time.

Could be the bearings in the pulleys that your belts sit on...they can make a whirring noise and do ware out ;)

well, ive had a f**king awesome day so far.

didnt finish work til 7, went from there to the gym where i spent an hour being bored and tired on the treadmill before my appointment with my trainer, spent the next hour and a half getting my programme sorted, went to maccas to get a coffee afterwards, who'da thought itd take 4 attempts to get a flat white right? and then, my car wouldnt start.

awesome.

so i spent the next hour and a half waiting for the friggin raa, now i gotta go out and get some last minute birthday shopping done, might be able to squeeze in an hours sleep before i have to be back in town at 6 for a friends 20th bday dinner and then to work for an 11pm start. *sigh*

busiest night of the week and im going to be knackered...

fun stuff.

oh well, spose i better stop wasting time on here.

take it easy folks, its gettin pretty wild out there, dont wanna hear about anyone gettin hurt.

Ok yay all good! Stupid me hadnt checked the power steering oil/fluid in a while and it was runnin on empty thus the loud noise it was making. Mechanic said if i left it any longer i woulda damaged it. Phew. $5 and all fixed :bunny:

Why is it the more you know, the more you don't really know??Igonrance and stupidity are bliss. Or maybe they are not... :) Maybe life is way too complex. Or am I over looking something?

Simply I have no idea of what goes on anymore anywhere!?! Stop. thinking. NOW.

    • 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.
    • 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.
