Does that Amber tail light mean it only brakes with the inside lights :(

Stupid Nissan Australia! Way to kill the hotplates

I also agree with it being stupid.

Seemed a natural occurrence with Australian delivered skylines.

C110 - 240K had outside indicators instead of 4 red hotplates

C210 - R30 didn't come with them at all.

Series 1/2 R31 didn't either

but Series 3 did.

All the above models, japan released all had hot plate round tailights.

not sure if the RTA is like the QT up here but you can request QT here to contact the owner and have them contact you if they wish to.

the roof dent - not that bad. mind you to fix it will take a full strip/spray of the roof. mine has one like that on teh opposite corner same colour.

rest of it decent nick and definitely worth doing if you can get you hands on it.

as for opening one. easily done with the correct tools.

I drove past a few days after posting the pics and the car was gone. I left my business card logged in the front door asking him if he was interested in selling the car.

I heard nothing so presumable the car was just left there to rot and the owner has finally moved it.

Anyway it made interesting discussion.

I believe I know who the owner of the car is and his house is in that street. I can't tell you why it was out there. I doubt he will sell it. I thought the family still drives it, but maybe hasn't for a while.

hey you know you can contact the owner if you like legally...you can try this with the cops but depends who you speak to if they can be bothered helping you...but you ring your RTA and tell them you need to contact the owner of this car and they will contact them for you and then they'll get back to you...this means they don't give you his/her details but you still get your msg across...i've done it once before with VICROADS

      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?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      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.

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

      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.
