Yeah i was thinking of an S13 convertible as well. ut an RB20DET and a 180 front on it. seen one in a made drift vid looked good. I think the R32 GTRS are going to be expensive still as it is so in demand ppl will pay as much as they can for one. And most of them have been in an accident anywayz.

Once I sell the 33 later this year, I am consdering either a maxed out R32 of around 400ps (either fully rebuilt RB20, or better yet RB25DET), R31 GTS-X or similar with RB26DETT, or maybe a worked up cefiro for under $15k. If its closer to 10k than 15, may get a full respray and interior retrim. May bring in another to sell for profit once I see how the first one turns out

hehe 13_devil.. AE86.. i think they're very overrated, but yeah, initial D and drift has a lot to answer for!

I'm thinking about a 88-89 RX7 or 89 GTR for a project car, but trying to find a good condition GTR is like trying to find a needle in a hay stack.

Plus I'm also thinking about getting a RS Stagea for the wife so we will see what happens.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      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.

      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.
