5stud, 2-pot single-sided fronts, 1-pot rear's

fixed a leak at the caliper (thru the bloody thing, nuts that keep the caliper together wernt tight enough)

the dust guard seems to be making some noise, something....... unless it's the pads against the rotors

yeah, should be able to boof, i got a set of R31 rears on order from DBA as "blanks" as i need them drilled for 5 stud. costs a small amount more as they have to pull them off the run n that, but ya should be able to

Anyone able to help me out? Need someone to go to JIS, buy me some R33 Tie Rod Ends - $175, and meet me somewhere, ie vilis, and i shall pay you back. I need the suckers in my hand by Saturday morning. If you are able to help out, send my mobile an sms on 0411876139 with your name and number and i shall call you back.

Edit: If they aren't in my hands by Saturday Morning, i will most likely be unable to attend the track day...there is also $50 in it for who ever does collect them for me.

Thank you to Madaz and Ruby for sending me a sms about picking these up. I managed to speak to JIS today, and he said he was going to be there till about 6-7pm, so i managed to pick them up :( . Also had a little chat, looks like a few of our forum members are regulars there *looks at Andrew and Dave* :thumbsup:

Hrmmm seems i could be stuck with going non turbo 33 rotors...Can you buy rotors that haven't been drilled at all?

could just get Growley custom machining to redrill 5 stud to suit 4 stud i had him do that for me before i had a 5 stud conversion and no troubles

Yeah Dave and I practically live there. If I could have gotten to Vili's tomorrow night to give them to you I would have picked them up for you. I live less than 2km from JIS, so pop in to see Koji and Paul frequently :P

So many toys, so little money - there are always things there I want.

    • 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.
