me too joined in 02, I think I may have actually joined SDU first and then found this place ;)

memories hmm, well I only joined up AFTER buying my skyline I thought that I wasnt actually allowed to join a skyline club without actually owning one :D Otherwise I would have joined months earlier - in the lead up to buying. In hindsight I could have found more knowledge about these cars before spending the cash. In Foresight I didnt get ripped with the price, I have still learned a lot about my car [with you guys] and I didnt buy a lemon either :D

Posting sure has changed a lot since 02 - I remember that post-whoring got so carried away that they took away our Post Count - asif that stopped us :D. Then they bought the count back after some of us settled down [or got day jobs].

oh the memories...

actually if I had of joined when I was first interested in skylines it would have been in the eighties - yes I had my learners in the 80's lol way back when they were selling brand new R31 GTS' in Black or Red, straight outta N-SVD or OzNismo as i call it :D

but them's probably the wrong kinda memories for here.

I joined back in July 2002 under the name Wardest Mac. I subsequently forgot my password after a short while and thus had to sign up again in September 2002 as Schmeddo.

This didn’t last long before I forgot my password again. I registered as my current moniker, “Wardest” in January 2003.

This third incarnation is the only personality which owns a Skyline and has thus been able to push the other two into my subconscious. Should they ever re-emerge tho, I’ll be in big trouble.

    • 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.
