haha i realsied the whole pm thing jsut after i posted, and yeah in the end the s1 would likly be cheaper then a rebuilt on either mine or yours, yeah fixing clutch is needed, lol, and thats a lot of stuff working on lists atm, good stuff to

cheers

alex

Plus you learnt u want a new clutch now (or at least adjustment on yours) hehe

If a S1 turbo works on your car, datto's sounds like the best option. I was also thinking Alex, if you were lookin at mine for a rebuild - might as well rebuild your own hehe

Interesting about the LT12 Alex. Do you know if that means that it would be running in Open Loop permanently since there is no O2 sensor to get readings from?

It sounds like John has a long week/weekend ahead of him. He was saying today that he has to work over the coming weekend.

you at trojan today??? which car is yours??? i have no idea i was puzzled that the micro has no o2 sensor, do you run a LT of some kind 2???

Alex,

Was on the phone to John taking up too much of his time yesterday :-P My car will be going in next Monday whilst I'm overseas for some tasteful mods (thanks Sl33py :-P).

As for the LT12, no, i'm running a PowerFC. I was just quite surprised and as you say, puzzled, that it doesn't run an O2 sensor. I would think it would mean that the tuner is then required to do a true 'full tune' instead of relying on closed loop mode for cruising. I've had no experience with Microtech's so perhaps others with LT10s etc could inform us if its just the LT12 without an O2 sensor?

      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.
