Cheers Dale. Yes, yes indeedy. :P

Cheers the Bilsteins are set on factory height.

I believe the factory height is 150mm ground clearance? it's now sitting 140mm - going off paper specs? I'm not sure if I'm going crazy but sometimes appears that the back is lower than the front...

"Yesterday I put on the V35 midpipe, Pics show the difference if you haven't already seen. There is an audible difference, I think it sounds ok from within the car. The pipe is also a lot lighter then the M35 one"

You havent seen a VQ25DD M35/V35 midpipe they are twice as big and bloody heavy. The coupe midpipe is much much better sounds good and is fairly cheap. Car looks nice. QX1 represent! Woo!

I used to have a metallic brown R31 wagon.

You didn't know how dirty is was, until after you'd finished washing it.

I <3 brown shitbox.

Dale, I'm pretty sure I tried racing you a few times around the mountains back in the day....... LOL

Lol, I remember your blue wagon very well mate. You might also remember my old Gunmetal grey 610 coupe. :whistling:

Several runs up/down OBR?

Only up to the speed limit of course. ;)

LOL! so high!! Looks like a tractor! Nice wheels though.

Yeah, it was pretty low in reality, front & rear overhangs are the problem; needed a front lip so badly. Sills are fairly low. Exhaust was really tucked up but still scraped on speed humps.

The front looks high in this pic as it had a fresh set of springs that hadn't settled yet.

I'm guessing if we CSI'd either of those wagons it'd look like a splatter storm.

Guessing many good times went on in the back ;)

I didn't have 20% tint on the windows for no reason, that's for sure. :cheers:

Apologies for thread derailment, we return to your usual program.

    • 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.
