Speak to a roll cage place as they should know. Rear seat belt holes need to be welded up and the cage designed properly. Will also need to be rego'd as a 2 seater.

I have seen walker chasis work and it's bloody awesome. It's where I'll be going to later on.

afaik they are street legal providing the stuff Luke mentioned above is done. a good example is the Clubsport pack for 911 GT2/GT3 with the street legal half cage.

car should be registered as a two seater with no rear belts or points. i am going through the process so can let you know the outcome next month.

It's legal, yes, but must be registered as a 2 seater.

And all the shit in the back has to be welded up. And cover the rest of the shit in padding. And make sure the shit is all good.

Shit yeah.

Just expect to be pulled over every 10 minutes and questioned.

Also you will find that only a coupe can be registered as a 2 seater, if you have a 4 door you will have to make the fix the rear doors. Every thing else is correct except they can be weld in, and you have to have 150mm head clearance to the roll cage with the seat in it's rear most position.

and this is the most correct thing said in here;

Just expect to be pulled over every 10 minutes and questioned.

Shit yeah.

      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.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      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.
