Hi all,

The time is almost upon us! Official date for entry is Dec 7th however garages and carports are up grabs NOW!

Myself and a mate have just purchased ourselves a garage :D Cant wait!!

My first time was Powercruise early this year and i must say, was a highlight of the year behind the wheel.

The earlier you enter and pay the cheaper it is. All info can be found here---> http://www.powercruise.com

So get your bums into gear and get in early, it would be great to have a big SAU group attend.

Drag, Drift, Power skids, Cruising, Show 'n' Shine, Burnouts it has it all. Great for spectators, a million times better for entrants!

So who is going???

I dont think my gearbox would handle the powerskid comp :banana: Dont want to risk blowing it and ruining the weekend.

Entering everything else though.

Well my car is at the panel beaters today for some repairs thanks to a milkshake tow truck driver. 5 weeks out and I've been promised the car back in a month, which gives me a week to put it back together.

Worse case scenario I'll put some goggles on and drive it with no windscreen under primer. I'm not missing this for anything!!

Jeez man! My fingers are crossed for you.

Get this, putting all my bits back together and the wastegate fouls on the covers!! So now i have to tow the car to my metal shop and cut up a newly ceramicoated exhaust housing to get it to fit, then get everything re-ceramicaoted, then tow the car back home again :ph34r:

    • 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.
