pretty good if you dont mind dealing with a grumpy old man :(

I was thinking of calling Belconnen exhaust and automotive as a few family friends have had theirs done there but i wanna make sure i'm getting the best value... thanks for the advice guys!!!

You have a V35, buy a Japanese exhaust off the shelf (Trust, HKS, Tanabe etc.) through someone like Trojan Motorsport - cheaper and better quality than getting one made up. :D

My exhaust was done by Fyshwick Exhaust. The workmanship was great. They also did my intercooler piping, and routed it exactly the way I told them not to...

I remember that... I dont know what they were smoking when they put that together :P

They said there was no other way to route it. Immediately following that we cut up the piping ourselves and routed it the way I actually wanted it, without changing anything on the car and using no extra piping except for having to buy 1 donut of pipe.

When we mounted the intercooler we left enough room behind it to run the piping through, but the Fyshwick guy ran it under the front of the car (in front of the tow points, probably wouldn't have passed rego) where it would have been smashed the first time I got too close to anything like a kerb. And the pipe was just hanging there with nothing except the joiners to the other pipe sections holding it. After we finished it was a LOT more secure.

Bear in mind this was over 5 years ago, things change, and as I said, the exhaust itself was great.

    • 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.
