While I know and appreciate this is a Whoretown thread, please keep the racial slurs to a minimum. I know its all in good fun and I hate to be a kill joy but if I was an NZ'er and came to these forums to see threads like these, I wouldn't hang around.

I'm the sole NZer in this thread, and hardly feel mocked lol. We used to watch Ignition DVDs from Oz and spend half the time cracking up, the accent and culture thing works both ways.

In saying that, it doesn't exactly make it feel very inviting providing NZers with their own area and then making it a take the piss out of NZ area seeing the actual whoretown thread says Unnzud. A bit of jibe here and there, but I've never heard a NZer called NZ "Unzud" so thats clearly gotta be fixed :blush:

I'm sure this section will grow with the amount of skylines and imports you have over there. We're jealous of your more relaxed import rules and stuff. So many models you guys get and we don't.

So any of you guys go to the beech much?

Beeched ais bru.... :blush:

Yeah bro, live right by the beach! We often like to go down and eat fish and chips, its sweet :D

The import laws here are really tightening up unfortunately, though that was after the Japanese cars started getting boring... so we got flooded with all the cool 80s and 90s ones.

2x from the north..

Random fact Re Sheep,

7x Sheep per person in NZ, we all know that, hence the awesome jokes that never change.

14x Sheep per person in AUS....

4,000,000 people in NZ

21,500,000 people in Australia.

You do the math :O

No one likes a liar...

China actually has the greatest number of sheep in terms of number of livestock (See top ten list in Domestic sheep). While New Zealand rates number 2 on the list of total quantity of "indigenous sheep meat" produced, it has the highest number of sheep per-capita (outside of the Falkland Islands). Simon McCorkindale of Christchurch, New Zealand holds the current Guinness World Record for number of sheep owned by one man (384143) and was named Royal ovis Aires Breed Board of Indigenous Territories (RABBIT) breeder for 12 consecutive years.[2]

Ok fine i tried :rant:

I can google too..

"While New Zealand rates number 2 on the list of total quantity of "indigenous sheep meat" produced," following only Australia :P

Population of sheep in AU 2005, 102.7 million

Populatioin of sheep in NZ 2005 39,9 million

f**k we both have a sheep loat of sheep. lol

    • 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.
