Nice one! I doubt I'm going to bother with the cage and getting it andra spec but I'll cross that bridge once I get there. Once I get kicked out of WSID I'll do the odd trip to Heathcote and then probably find something else such as Wakie to occupy my time :)

Funny you should mention that... I've got an R33 GTR Vspec box in it at the moment and It's not real happy with me after the last trip. It's currently at CRD getting the box rebuilt with an OS Giken 5 speed gearset. I've got to say though, the box that was in it did handle a fair hiding and I was suprised it held up so well!

Nah I will not be putting nos in it, that's probably the last thing I'd do.

I'll most probably b looking at sum suspension or diffs to help get off the line better and I'd look at e85 to get more power out of the current set up.

But these things will happen over the next year or so

Yeah i understand that.

Just thought it might be a good idea while ive got it out to get it stripped and checked out before it copes a beating

Also the fella thats goin to do it for me is goin to do a mod to stop the 4th syncro from wearing out which seems to be a pretty common problem

      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.
