I saw that, i want others ideas and suggestions as well that’s just got a list from the net it doesn’t even say if they are any good or not, i want to know of places others have been b4 and liked them!!!

anyone can Google a list but i want people to give me some recommendations of good places!!! I don’t wanna run around to places to find out they are shit!

i use a place on Kangaroo Road in Ormond between Warrigul and Poath rds. i think its called hughesdale motors or something like that, looks like an old servo and don't know much about good prices but i've just always used him cause it's close and convenient and the more i go the better the deals get

Ive got quite a few things at Japan Plus Auto Parts. The guy (i think it was Jerry) was quite helpful and they are quite reasonable with price

Have you got their contact details and location?

hey Shadz where bouts u from?

yeh ive bought a lot of stuff from jerry at Japan Plus

great guy easy to deal with and reasonable price :banana:

Hey Matey,

called oakleigh motors, reaaaly good place, got everything you need plus heaps of aftermarket mods, cheap too! nice guy

^^^ Oakleigh Mechanical Repairs are convenient for SE people...but beware...i'm not going to elaborate...Paul tried to rip me several times and i only ended up going there because he's close to where I live...

Think of it as a Public Service Announcement...he has decent stuff but don't get ripped off...

    • 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.
