just read that convo, all im going to say is, no matter how superior the next gen models are, and will be.

it will never be enough to quash someones love for something

eg- i LOVE r32 GTRs.. i know R33s are better in every way etc, would still pick an R32 because of the <3

the only thing any GTR can aspire to be is slightly more expensive than another car of the same vintage.

eg:

KPGC10 GTR is more exxy than a 240Z

a KPGC10 is nowhere near as collectible as a proper limited edition like a Falcon GT.

squires loft is always reviewed brillianty, although i havent bothered myself yet.

going to a pub is always going to be shit, as no good chef's work there. they dont know how to cook a steak and dont care. they are usually just cooks anyway. a gooood steak is an art and takes a long time to learn. you have to be able to know the meat by look and feel alone and alter many things accordingly. you also have to be able cook it to a degree less than ordered and let it rest it's way up to the desired temp. The only way you will ever get this 100% is by cooking 1000's of them with a seriously good chef over your shoulder checking every one.

The Grill Room, i posted early in the thread etc - It used to be a Squires Loft, and then went out on their own years ago.

So it's certainly "up there".

Been to the CBF Squires Loft a few times myself, very good venue also.

LOL @ Pub, everytime i've had a steak @ a pub - asked for Med Rare, it's come out with only a slight tinge of pink in the middle.

You get over trying to have an argument with the staff about how it's not Med Rare and some 17yo comes outta the kitchen to try and tell me I'm wrong :D

this is the car i want now, love the sound of the supercharger.

Mate of mines blown LS1 sounds like that. The sound it makes coming up behind you is just downright scary

Thing runs 10s and he drives it daily LOL, rather ridiculous, but amusing.

wow that would be a fun car to have. i agree with sounding scary with one of those coming up behind you i love it. would love to see what it feels like to be in a supercharged v8 one day.

on another note went and saw Millencolin and Pennywise last night and it was awesome, cant wait to see them again at soundwave :D

I use to listen to millencolin in like grade 5 it was awesome :P

get back into them, its better than all the shit music thats out now with there digitalised voices and music made with no instruments and not to mention making up there own words and not pronouncing them correctly . trying not to sound racist but all that shit RnB music that black people sing about there feelings and have such girly voices i HATE IT!!!

anywho that's enough ranting im bored because im on holidays lol.

    • 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.
    • 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
