not with the amount of money that's been thrown at it, it won't. At the end of the day, it's still a Dayz with 135000km on it.... But you don't modify to improve value, and I love it dearly...

What are series 1's selling for these days in Japan?

About 15% more this week than it was last week! (FOB anyway)

Micah, I will give you 12 and a half mate :)

(probably the replacement value of your front brakes truth be known)

:P

Where are you getting complied? And how long all up will it be from payment date to pick up (assuming 2 weeks to comply and register!)???

I ask b/c I have put my money down on my S2 just over one week ago and I'm trying to figure out an approximate "baby come home" date!!!

Mine may take a little longer as I have to register it in NSW... as I live just over the border...

I live in Coffs, so getting it trucked down after compliance. She's getting complied at Shogun (also known as something else.... can't remember now) and it should be about 12 weeks from when I made the first payment to getting it delivered..... can depend a bit on when ships are leaving etc.

Well, it's taken freakin ages, but supposedly my Stag is getting delivered today! It's been at compliance for ~4 weeks.... not their fault, dotars just took that long to get the paperwork back. Probably won't be able to get it blue slipped today, but hopefully on monday! For anyone elses interest, I paid for the car on the 18th of July, so it's taken about 3 months in total......

Sound's about right with the 3 month total time, although 4 weeks for paperwork would have been a painful wait as it was max 10days with both cars i've brought in....bet you cant wait to just get in it now???? lol

yeah, dotars has been a big hold up recently..

my car, along with 18 others was at the compliance yard for about 2 months waiting for approval.

I reckon you got a bloody good deal there- all that $$ you saved can go on a few cosmetic mods.

and.. the wait is all but over - oh I was sooo apprehensive when I saw the car for the first time as I thought - I am going to do my freaking naaanaa if anything has been damaged on it.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
