*reaches down pants*

i think i am the only member of the 'hasn't had a fine or lost a demerit point' club

:(:)

I think there would be a few of us around. Ive had my skyline for almost a year now and have not had any trouble with the police.

Ive been pulled over twice for speeding and been let off both times, but both were only minor (72 in a 60 zone the worst).

But maybe its because i have a pretty stock car which isnt too loud, and im off my Ps now.

My younger brother has been without a license for around six years now - he only had it for a total of six months (suspended 3?? or 4?? times) before that. Something like $20k or $25k in fines. I saw a photo of his car blu-tacked to the dash of a parked cop car too... :eek: Thankfully he's seen the error of his ways, but he's still paying off the fines, and will be for a while yet...

I've been fined for unregistered which, to the letter of the law, was right, but I drove the car around a traffic island in front of my house to make sure that the clutch I'd just adjusted was taking up right. 20m from home, on a street that sees maybe 25 cars a day... thankfully the SS cop car valve bounced down the street at twice the speed limit and nearly ran into me, and saved the busload of school kids that I was no doubt endangering :D $480 later...

The only other fine I have is undue noise, which was $130 iirc and no points (it was classed as "involuntary undue noise"). I've just been lucky not to have more fines, but not driving like a tool helps!

hmm MSPEC, perhaps its that WANG of yours that attracts all the attention? oh and that black soot trail on your rear bumper lol :thumbsup:

I reckon they only target you if you have something noticable.

Oh and where'd you get that print out, is that your bank statement? or does civic compliance keep a listing?

      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.
