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.

    • 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.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
