Anyone willing to lend me a helmet and extinguisher? :)

You can borrow mine if you wish, don't think I can afford to take the R33 out this time :(...unless I can jump out there later in the day.

If anybody needs swaybars for track day look here, I'm getting mine here from Dale

I just got mine for around the same money locally for CarTorque here in Adelaide. I also didn't have to worry about shipping costs that the group buy would have too .. Try dropping them an email?

Where on earth did you get a helmet for $99??

All you NEED is an Australian Standards helmet. Which is a motorbike helmet, and you can go to any bike shop.

Autosport are doing open face helmets for $99, and that will be fine for most people.

You spend the extra money on an FIA approved helmet and itll be lighter, and probably more comfortable, but if youre only doing a couple of track days a year an AS helmet will be fine.

Another great place for helmets is Peter Stevens on franklkn st. They have a normal store and a clearance store opposite. With Aus standard approved helmets from $60

Got mine from there, big range, great prices

Another noob question, where do I sent my payment off to?

Thanks

sorry to those that have already bought a full face but keep in mind, there's nothing worse than a full face in a hot car and secondly, peripheral vision is considerably better with an open face.

You can get a good Aussie STD matt black open face at either Peter Stevens, Hyperformance Cycles or Pro Street Cycles for between $50 & $60.

Extreme example, but one I always remember... what happens when you wear an open face helmet...

Colin McRae will discover today if he can resume his World Rally Championship quest following his horrific accident on the Tour of Corsica.

The 32-year-old Scot will have a check-up at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Hospital following a three-hour operation to have a plate inserted in his fractured cheekbone.

McRae suffered a double fracture of the cheekbone and a bruised lung after crashing out at about 80mph on the second day of the rally in Corsica last month.

The car finally came to rest upside down at the bottom of a six-metre embankment after hitting a tree. McRae's Welsh co-driver Nicky Grist walked away unhurt.

Bar my first rally, when I had to borrow a helmet, I've always worn full face, and never had an issue with it being too hot.

you're inside a car!!!!..........soft :P

Yet we're not complaining about being too hot... now who's soft? :nyaanyaa:

    • 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.
    • 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.
