Spotted Bluprint at old bus depot building today

...Nah not really, I was just following the crowd and trying to be cool.

I did however spot a silver R33 GTR go driving past me on Ginniderra Drv thismorning. I was in the STAGEA towing an awesome orange U-Haul trailer, go U-Haul!

I am coming to canberra again in a few weeks to get Julian to work some of his magic on my R33.

I am warning you all that SOMEONE....ANYONE...spot me :(

Even when I lived in Canberra I was always out and about, I think i was only spotted once.

Guess thats what happens when you have a white series II - there are just too many - but I have VIC plates

Someone kill her;make the world a better place...(Sorry,but people that can't drive shouldn't be on the road,rightly or wrongly...)

Spotted a silver Stag' on Majura Road testerday eve' as the sun was almost gone. Waved,but I may've been a bit slow(100 km/h each way.Oh,my bad;90 km/h in that area,isn't it?). You may not have noticed me;was in the BlingMobile.

Haha thanks. I get to spot Julians R32 when I come to canberra, its so nice - and a bit of fun too just quietly

At least she didnt run a red (although still pretty dangerous) I had some tool run a red when I wa turning right into boddington on a green arrow there a few months back, VERY close call.

Spotted a silver S2 R33 down limestone at about 3:50 this afternoon turning off to civic just cruising behind me.

Also saw a nice white 33 giving it some on the end of Northbourne through the sweepers to Woden last night which sounded pretty good.

However, didn't spot the jeallous lowlife who spat all over my drivers side while my car was parked opposite Mooseheads.

Spotted a silver 33 GTS-T getting carried away with his Dorifto skills at Kingston this morning. Whilst a fan of wielding a serious slipper into the firewall, there's a time and a place. In front of all the people going to Kingston markets isn't it. One lady a few metres up from me thought so,too: she took down the rego' plate and let everyone know she'll talk to the authorities. If you're on hear bud', you'd better hope she simmered down before picking up the phone, as there were enough people around to land you in big do-do.

Note to all: remember,kiddies-there's a time and place for everything!

That might have been me, I came home that way from taking a load to the tip, I had my awesome hired trailer on the back.

    • 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.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
