but didnt you say your biggest problem was having the rear wheel lift up and lose traction when trying to get into your steep driveway? making things stiffer will mean youll be parking in the street...

ive got no bracing, and yet i can still hear the pillars creak when i try to get over my driveway gutter

Yeah i did have a problem but since i live on a hill i just come in from the top way and roll in on an angle. I had problems befpre because i was going in uphill.

Would I be correct in saying that delivery date is likely to be minimum 8 weeks from 31 July?

You said 6 weeks for production in the opening post, so I figure a week or so to deliver to Australia, then about a week for them to reach the individual states?

Sounds about right........give us a couple of days to process payments to OX though.

Mark....I don't have a defined date.....but I would think toward the end of next month for delivery.

Are you coming to Sydney to pick it up? I want to see a good looking V35: P

Hahahah V35 - yes, good looking - no!! Its not looking the best at the moment but no point doing anything because of the stagea nose. yeah ill travel to sydney if its not to far out of the way. I felt so embarrassed picking up the front brace and stag bar of dale with a damaged front end.

Mark....I don't have a defined date.....but I would think toward the end of next month for delivery.

ETA is about right there!

These are a special order which Ox are making for us - i was told 6 weeks from payment to have them completed, then allow another week or so for delivery. When we first contacted Ox they only had 1 in stock as they do now according to their website (bottom number in table next to first image is 'no. in stock'): http://www.oxmotorsports.co.jp/7_9.html

As soon as we know more, either Craig or i will advise in this thread...

Trust me, no one wants me to distrubute from here, unless you all want to come down for a drive, beverage & chat :cheers:

You're da man Josh!

But I'll pick mine up, unless you are heading 1.5hrs south for any reason. My people will be in touch with your people...

    • 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.
