I so wouldnt mind that TK R32 GTR... but its so ugly and not in my favourable colour.

Excessive lowering will give you too much toe in, unless you have adjutable upper arms

stock suspension now and stock arms

only adjustables that were in it were coilovers and rear camber arms

will have to put hicas back in

could that be the problem?

Proves that you are driving it properly!

it can affect hicas if the toe is greater than 2' on either side, the hicas computer senses it somehow and disables hicas after about 15 minutes

for what its worth, i got some rear adjustable upper control arms last year for around $350 and the precise adjustment that the aligner was able to make more than justifies the cost... makes the car perform much better with less tyre wear to boot ;D

not regency friendly, but theyre easy enough to get engineered

Is that all?

*sigh* its enough to throw his geometry all out of wack again

he has the front castor arms, the rear camber arms, the adjustable suspension... all 3 things that work in tandem to ensure the suspension actually works properly

u should enquire about getting that stuff engineered man, rory thompson does it for $500 odd if I recall correctly, and that mean you could continue using the control arms for caster/camber... not the suspension but eh, 2/3 is better than nowt

Yeah my suspension was out of whack when I removed everything for regency, handled like a bucket of shit on the way to Tyre Power for an alignment which straightened everything out and made it feel perfect again afterwards.

    • 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.
