Well I might as well break the news - being of the female persuasion it's a lot harder for me to keep these things quiet. :laugh:

Paul and I were engaged Friday night :(

Joined SAUWA over 4 years ago to learn more about my car who would of thought it would lead me to the person I will be spending the rest of my life with :happy: Lucky i went the Skyline and not the Subaru Liberty huh!

Extremely happy and thought I'd share the news where it all got started ;)

Love you babe! :D

haha you managed a whole day at work without spilling the beans.. but how did you sit through last nights comittee meeting? haha

i cant keep secrets - i would have spontaneously combust if i were keeping a secret that big.

:laugh: congratulations! =]

so whens the big day...

Lucy - didnt really keep it a secret at last nights committee meeting :laugh: Most people know by now - its just i wanted to give paul the opportunity to tell his friends before i blurted it out on the net and then have people calling him going "why didnt you tell us" kinda thing. I wouldnt even try to keep it a secret with a ring like mine - its hardly subtle! Stunning ring.

Dale - obviously you haven't met too many people in the car scene have ya?! haha thanks hun thats very sweet.

well, i dont know when you put that pm under ur msn name...but i thought you would have told all of us about 3 min after paul proposed

isnt that the female thing to do?

get engaged and 5 min later you've rung up your parents, girlfreinds, other parents, other friends, people you used to know back in primary school and that random down the road, and then you get back to the guy that just proposed to you....

anyway, ive already said my bit to you last night, but also now to paul - congrats to both of you....

i call a skyline wedding...

Ash - i actually waited almost a whole 24 hours before i told my mum!! and she was the first to know (cos otherwise i wouldnt be typing this message right now) my best buddies found out 48 hours after. Its not that i dont love them - but its nice that you both have the peace n quiet to enjoy the moment before the madness starts haha.

I know what my mum was like with my 21st (she wanted me to have location and guestlist planned 6 months beforehand!) heaven help me what she's going to be with my wedding!!

Ashley my mum said "Congratulations something about what a good guy paul was blah blah blah - im off to drink champagne and have a cry" (only child) Pauls mum didnt find out til Sunday .... she held no grudges either.

No "Skyline Wedding" Its discrimantory against 350z's! :laugh:

Thanks Ossie!

Congrats lauren and paul. Looks like paul's ghayness needs to come to a stop, dan will be sad. :laugh:

Anyway, my gf's sister and bf went on a holiday to bali with his and her parents, got engaged there, and the whole family only found out like 2 weeks later. :( so 1~2 days is not soo bad.

Congrats, once again.

Great news guys!!!

Congrats to you both. May you spend many years cruising in Nissan's (See i didnt limit it to skylines) together :sleep:

WEDDING CRUISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • 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.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
