Spotted my R32 getting bogged on the GDE whilst trying to do a U turn .... on the grassy section after missing the turnoff to Aranda

Lucky for me some other drivers saw me stranded and helped me push the car out :) ... Was rather embarrassing but then again I guess it could happen to the best of us ...

Car was bloody filthy after spinning the wheels like a madman trying to get it out .... whilst bogged the whole car ended up filthy as hell ... (tried driving out slowly to no avail ... Damn open rear diff and no rear LSD to help me get out ....

The drivers side rear wheel which was in the dirt would just keep spinning like crazy whereas the passenger side would spin slowly ...

Car is now Clean as a daisy as I spent all afternoon in the Cold cleaning out the interior and exterior ...

So much mud and grass underneath the car it was like it had been in a bloody rally of Canberra ... Got many weird looks from other drivers probbably wondering where I had been with my R32 covered in mud LOL...

Passed a white R33 coming out of Woden Plaza carpark... didnt recognise the driver but he didnt look at me anyway so I didnt wave..

Also a silver R33 at Phillip just down from the BP, I think its a bike shop there?

Woo, been a while. Whose parking the nice blue V-Spec II in the same carpark as me the past month or so? Bound to catchya one day, even if you're not on here.

My car's been running like an absolute dog recently (bottom end bearings) so pretty much avoid driving it except to work :\ Boorrring!

Spotted the white R35 GTR going along the road near the casino, it looks so much better in the flesh. Specially when it drives past you.

Saw most likely the same car parked in Civic around lunchtime, looks like an ADM model.

    • 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.
