You mean low car friendly?

I have coilovers but it's not ridiculously low so I don't scrape shit, have no dramas with the carpark at Perth station. Throw a button clutch and a 2way into the mix though, and carparks are always an exciting adventure :(

last time i drove a car with a button clutch was a hire car nissan pulsar i think about 2yrs ago, that thing was a disgrace haha dropped a good skid tho especially when u were just trying to take off normally.

yeah didnt even leave first gear, had about 10 cars waiting behind me last night, was good times.

excellent feed back. cheers for ur input guys.

*Note to self, never go in there again.

although i dont have my coilovers at a extreme low. just take it slow up the ramps and it gets over them fine.

my car is pretty damn low, have GAB Sports adjustable coilovers and always seem to be able to park at ROE ST CPP all the time no problems, just have to go sideways at every turn... suspension has always been okay

"go sideways at every turn" -- so that was you in Tokyo drift? :)

with lowered suspension and a body kit you're always going to scrape on things

with practice you will learn exactly where the front of your car is and how much of an angle you need to take to get up certain ramps etc

i have also found the car park under the library to be quite friendly

"Go sideways at every turn" I think he just means take the hill at an angle and very slowly.

The Alexander Lib carpark is def more friendly if you can get a park there. Less level changes and still close to everything in Nthbridge.

      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.
