hey dion are you hiding from me and james lol
I see you lurking Mr Crossman :P

I told you guys, today is my study day, have to limit contact with the outside world :cool:

Looks like you have a bit of sunburn in those pictures James.

lol, and I spilt drink on myself before those photos haha

Spent the day putting up my new fence, and fabricating a sliding gate (to be automated) at the front of the house. House extension is on hold at the moment whilst I've got re-submitted plans with Council, waiting on approval for some engineering changes (floor framing). Gotta keep moving on with the house, so the front yard is getting some security upgrades ... 600mm high brick fence is now 1800mm high thanks to timber slats. Gate is under construction. And I'm ripping up the front lawn for an extra driveway addition.

Next weekend, I finish the gate, and render the front of the house. Busy much? :cool:

Well I've probably found my house. Walked in today at the open and just had a gut feeling this was the one. Not getting too excited yet just incase I don't get it but will be making an offer on it :cool:

Massive shed! Lots of parking space, reno'ed kitchen, bathroom, etc. Price seems right. I like it!

excellent, as long as there is enough room for a single bed, the GTR and a little mazda, then you are pretty much set.

and i beleive we should use this as our new mainstream form of communication, it is so much easier to get into contact with you lol

Yeah, it's pretty nice, got a few ideas in mind already if I do get it, just don't want to get too far ahead of myself

And wtf that car is hideous

Here ya go. Pics really don't do it justice though
Looks nice, good luck. I made heaps of offers on houses when i was looking and all offers were above the asking price and i still missed out on about 6 or so houses, was a crazy time to buy.

    • 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.
