I'm assuming you don't realise how important it is.

Also, this stuff is never urgent. You dot rush this kind of stuff unless you've got someone dying next door, and there are no cars or ambulance available for 1000 kms.

Take your time, and do it properly. Having a flywheel come off, and cut off your feet is not worth the risk.

^1. Never do stuff half arsed on a car cos you could kill yourself or others. Vice grips and wd40 are your friend.

The dowel isn't that important, rb30 flywheels don't even have it, nor do some aftermarket ones. It just gives another way of locating which will avoid any excess slop that the bolts have (bigger tolerances), might help ever so slightly with vibrations.

But yes remove it with vice grips and get a new one, if you leave it off it isn't the end of the world. I've had two cars that didn't have one in it, one had an rb30 flywheel, the other one just didn't have the dowel.

Yeah you will be fine without it, however if you do have the hole for it, I would use it anyway, any reduction in vibration is a good thing, also if one of the bolts does shear for whatever reason (incredibly unlikely) it will take shear forces much better than the remaining bolts will.

      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.
