get a timing light and check it

only way to be sure

+1 to this.

but that said, if the car has an aftermarket ecu and has been tuned like this then just leave it the way it is because the tune would've taken into account the extra base timing.

See I bought the car dead stock in October last year. The car had only been over here for a few months when I bought it. The car belonged to an Australian working as a teacher who was planning to move back here so he sent the car to Australia then never returned so his dad (who is living here) had to sell it. I've got all the service receipts and I think I have a receipt here from Nismo Japan for a timing belt change at 114,000km and when I bought the car it had 114,800km.

I took a guess at maybe the timing is advanced to high because it might of been tuned for Japanese higher RON petrol? But I am in no way mechanically minded so I've really got no idea.

dude.. an internet forum is not a substitute mechanical workshop.

take it to a mechanic, who knows they're way around a GTR.

when looking at the CAS front on, if you turn it clockwise, that is advance, the position its on looks to be fully retarded (lol)

Very true. Going to take it to a workshop Wednesday and see what they think

      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.
