dont worry sketchr30 i retired my ti at 407000k's but she still fires up first time even with old pump fuel in her, the rest of her has seen better days through.

nicko when you say import head lights what do they look likem, ( does your car have a grill or two little slits)?

if u want a brake upgrade a cheap option is to find 4 pot calipers off an old (79-83) toyota four runner

apparently they bolt straight up to r30s, 260z's etc

when i can source a set this is what i'll be doing, then maybe some konis and appropriate coils.

cram an rb20 in for less than 2k

fix up driveline for another 1k

say 1....1.5k on cooler injectors what have u

should be a good little package to keep up with r32's/33's

i'm looking for an r32 gtst front cut right now so after i get it re registered it'll go straight in...then worry bout eng certificate later

have a look at these as they are the latest pic of my car still some work to be done though but its all about the love!

if i'm still logged in at this link then go to slideshow and theres other pictures?

Not for sale, at the moment, if your refering to the photos of my car then they are more trouble than there worth, they were fill of water and rusted (ever tryed to get parts for tail lights before) had to butcher my ti for the wiring and light fixtures.

    • 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.
    • 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.
