I know a few of you have done the Dutton NSW before and a few more are going this year. I have a couple of quick questions I'd like answered if possible.

They mostly have to do with eligibility of entry. According to the sup regs Eligible Entries must "meet the RTA requirements of the state in which the car is registered"

Im not sure if NSW is the same as us but this means aftermarket turbo's, aftermarket ECU's, actually it seems just about everything aftermarket is illegal - including things like bonnet pins, carbon bonnets, etc. So I guess Im curious as to what level of scrutineering goes on, or to what extent they allow modifications that may not meet RTA requirements. Or do you pretty much have to compete in a stock car?

so why the hell did we have one of the standard ones....d'oh

Snowman *anything* goes...don't worry :D You just need road rego.

They mention in the supp regs an exhaust limit but they admitted last year they didn't have a tester :D We're considering the side pipe for this year....

Are you entering?

BTW, only 8 weeks to go :D better start getting organised....

Yeah Im entering but right now my car is reasonably stock and thats about to change. I was going to upgrade to some low mounts (was thinking GReddy T517Z twins) but a few of the guys down here are doing some great things with big single top mounts on track / circuit cars. So I know I could get away with a modded low mount set-up BUT if I can get away with a nice big high-mount single....... :rofl:

      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.
