well, got pulled into an rbt in the magna on the way home from work. got a 'formal caution' for my front tyres, somewhat glad i decided to leave the 200 at home.

also on the topic of police, saw 2 patrol cars and some random police truck pull out of the street across from my place when i got home at about 2.

Yeah, it's been a crazy weekend - policing-wise I'd say.

I came out of a movie at Wallis at Noarlunga (hate Wallis so much) to find a bunch of 15 year old girls fighting in the lobby bit. All these other kids came down on little scooters (lol) followed by 2 cop cars...

Crazy dero's. After, all you heard was "Mum's going to ground me for this!!"

Edit: Dave, S14 for sale already?!!

and yes, have had that fuukin needle thru my tit, and never again.

Agreed ... I won't be doing that again >_< Got my tatt (first installment) done after 3 hours and Matt (tattoo guy) asked me "wanna do that piercing or not?" ... I figured what the f**k, you only live once. If given the chance to think about it, I'd have backed out :rant: Tracy had a big grin on her face watching the needle go in!

thats awful dave. These fires are starting to hit close to home.

A Drift Australia competitor and his parents were also killed in the fires. Its so depressing watching it on tv but want to keep updated.

Just watched an interview now of a guy who sent his wife and 2 kids away to safer area, he stayed to protect the home, he survived but his 2 kids died :S

who from DA didnt make it if you dont mind me asking? An ex channel 9 presenter and his wife also lost their lives.

Im definately up for a fundraiser, like the cruise that the QLD boys are doing, but maybe a bbq or dinner instead?

yes andrew, ive changed my mind.

i wanna see the assholes that started these fires burn. no hearings. no court cases. no chance to defend themselves. i want to see them burn.

luke jacobs i think.

what you think of his rex :D

Yeah nice looking rig that, seems like it goes alright too.

Sorry to hear about your mate Dave, finding out an active member of NS was killed was bad enough, I can't imagine how it'd be personally knowing them.

LOL @ you and the car thing though, have you changed your mind already? :(

*edit* Damo: the DA driver who passed was Luke Jacobs, and also Nathan Charles (username 'valleyonevia' on nissansilvia.com)

    • 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.
    • 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.
