Update from Import Monster:

Nissan only had 2 full sets and the two right hand side ones in stock, they are going to make new ones and their eta to our shop in Japan is early August, meaning arrival to Melb in mid September.

I enquired about the eta on the 2 existing sets and the 2 right hand side ones and this was the reply:

we will ship them out as the arrive to us, so the ones in stock now will probably go in the container leaving Japan this week and arrive here in around 5 weeks

I feel the fairest way of allocating the first 2 pairs is in order of confirmed interest, so this means myself and then beans.

and the rh ones? Andrew seeing as we are both in Adelaide, we should combine the postage to here and then we can catch up to collect?

Yes, the right hand ones will be coming at the same time.

Agreed that we should go in on postage together!

Hi all,

The latest update is still as above, i.e. that Nissan were making new weather shields to complete the order. I will contact Import Monster to find out where everything is at.

You're all also welcome to contact Import Monster directly (PM or [email protected]). If you identify that you're part of this group buy, I am sure that Aaron will be more than happy to help.

This was the latest update from Import Monster as of last Thursday:

we have 3 full sets and the single coming in about a week, the rest arrived to the shop in Japan about a week ago and are going into a container we're packing next week

So what that means is the first shipment will be allocated in the order of earliest confirmed GB participants.

The 3 pairs:

So, are they here yet?

Yep your RHS single is in Melbourne at the moment, along with the 3 pairs for me, beans and Global_Warmer. I'm in contact with Import Monster to get the Adelaide ones couriered to me. Once I have some more details from him I'll PM you and beans.

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
