hey guys

vehicles in japan require a safety flare mounted generally in the passenger kick panel.

normally they are removed when the vehicle is being complianced, but they quite often slip through.

my NM35 doesnt have one and id really like one back in its holster.

so if you have a spare or one you dont want or need please let me know.

and id be happy to take it off your hands or buy it.

im pretty sure it wouldnt be able to be sent via post. so if you are in Melbourne preferably

cheers. :thumbsup:

try ebay bud you can buy flares on the american site to suit all makes of imports... and they might even have a way to ship them i know you can ship dangerous goods as long as you declare what it is....... (mby a group buy to cut the cost of shipment) hope that helps.

my car didn't have one when I bought it but luckily we had the forethought to keep the one from the boys s13 when he sold it and it fits nicely in the holder :D

you should try other jap car forums like ns.com to see if someone with a silvia etc still has the flare. I don't reckon you'll have any luck getting one online sadly as you can't post them.

there's plenty of people on ebay selling just the tube for looks only - no flare included tho

    • 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.
