i was changing the battery in a S2 33 gtst yesterday and was tightening the positive with a spanner when the negative fell back on giving it ground and sparking the sh*t out of everything and giving me 3rd degree burns to my hand. i am an idiot and didnt move negative out of the way enough. i wanted to ask everyone what i should check out in the car to see if it was ok after what happened? and also there is no sound coming out of speakers which run through an amp but the head unit still works? the aerial motor seems to continously run even after it's fully up/down

No offence but it seems that you dont know a great deal about auto electrics. in that case cut your loses and take it to an auto electrician. the amount of times i wish i would have taken my 33 to a pro rather than doing it myself is ridiculous. and taking it to a pro first up woulda saved me $500

but thats just me

you probably blew your amp or deck. check all your fuses, the ones in the boot next to the battery and the ones in the cabbin behind the dash.

electricity is a strange and completely gay world to me, so i make sure i leave most of my serious electric problems to pro's (read: sau pro's). what i suggest is checking with a multimeter all your channels on the amp and the rca's on the deck which will tell you which one has blown.

other than that i'd recommend pm'ing manwhore as he seems like he knows his shit when it comes to electrics.

      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.
