Interesting. Pics?

Long gone now so no pics, but they are only blind rivet nuts that are secured to the body and then you can make you brackets to fit and screw into them

Pretty easy

Nice!

Year / model / mods?

+1

And please welcome, "DJ Press Play" to the stage!

2002 10th Anniversary v8

so all the optional features as standard (sunrroof, rear reclining seats, air suspension, leather, electric rear shade etc)

Only mods are a set of 18" Rays Sebring ITC wheels, which I'm going to get rid of anyway

Got 130xxx kms but it's the 2nd cleanest one we found, and it's $7k cheaper for not having black leather

It's always those that have never run e85 that pay out on it. There are many benefits to it, and the only draw back is your fuel tank was designed too small? Get with the times...

24" with a thin layer of rubber (gettin kinky) are arguably wheels.

VIP wheels would be a hard choice. Its either gangster or something that would compete alongside a hilux with chromies.

Thats a joke, but worked out in your favour.

Plans for wheels?

Few I'm looking at

SSR SP3

Work Schwert SC4

Leon Hardiritt Gral or Bugel

But I haven't really looked into it much yet, need 19s as minimum too

i'm sure he is planning on having wheels dude

LOL

hmmm... I like the gral's the most. bugel's looked a bit sparse for such a big vehicle.

I lol when people talk about wheels and sound like interior decorators

all about the contrast, had gold volks on my last black Nissan, but decided to go with a unique bronze textured finish this time

im not bagging the guy that said that (he's a nice guy) it just sounds funny.

oldenburgs look baws on majesta

SC2's looked pimp on ashneels chaser, but look weak on the huge-ass majesta

Yeah saw them and thought they looked awesome

It's hard though having toyota offsets, to get the good dish at back you need to run either massive camber or flare rear guards

But either way, I'll look properly once the car comes in first

You'd only run e85 on a track car to squeeze the last bit of power the car can make.

Or you end up with what you said... e85 = Annoying

So 3rd Generation S170.

You going 2JZ or 1UZ?

Leon Hardiritt Oldenburg also

Yeah that looks mad!

VIP Car so it needs thick spoke wheels with deep lip.

    • 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.
