I have some pressure on my right eye, went to church as usual feeling a little dizzy and tired and time with my daughter makes me cry .. Wish it was a dream but I know it's real I can feel it more and more which proves my theory that sometimes not knowing is a good thing cause now I know I'm certain my body will remind me every chance it gets! Thanks for asking mate I really appreciate it

Hey Scott ,

I am sorry to hear of your painful news , i would'nt imagine what you would be feeling right now , nor would i know what to say to a fellow member . The little i will say is keep your head under that bonnet and have your little girl beside you, keeping your mind focused on the things you love . I will pray to the man upstairs for you, and you will be in my thoughts . All the Best man , you will get through it :)

Your faith in God, Jesus and the Spirit will help you become stronger than you ever thought you would Scott.

Some others on this thread are Christian too, and they're praying. In a prayer chain, we're praying.

In one 10 year period our family was stricken with...

a) one son getting a jaw tumour

b) another son dying

c) my wife contracting 2 types of breast cancer.

During these adversities, we get closer to God - or further away.

We were each forced to make a choice...

I posted up that you're on a journey.

Our journeys continue on my friend!

Your empathy is appreciated Scott.

Faith has helped me throughout. Of course it'll help you through too. No matter what you read about gliomas; whether you're focused on Body, Mind or Spirit, faith will help you through too.

I hope your folks, your wife and your daughter can cope, since they're going through a journey too: each and every one.

I've heard it said on SAU that one would give his left testicle to have a GTR. I understand that. But after experiencing illness and death at close quarters; I'd in the blink of an eye, give away my cars to have good health and life in my family once again. But I know God has a greater purpose.

See! You're a very loving man yourself; that in your hour of need, you found time to empathise with my predicament. I sincerely admire that!!!

I met my wife a little over. Year ago it's a real love story then we had Jessica no this but every week we go to church and pray every day together I know god has a plan it's not revealed yet but it will be great I know it

Hi Scott

Sorry to hear the bad news, i lost my grandmother last year and its a terrible thing to go through. Im not a religious man at all really but regardless i agree with what everyone is saying here, keep doing the things u love dont let it stop you, because in the end enjoying ur self and being in the company of great friends and family and driving GTR's this is what life is about. After i lost my nan the way i see things now is to enjoy every moment that i have and to make the most of the opportunities.

Hi Scott,

Just read through your thread.

Sad to hear about your situation. I think members have already said what I am about to say. But the best thing to do is keep positive and do the things you love doing whether it be working on your car, spending time with your wife or just having plain old fun.

The medical world these days and technology has come a very long way and treatment in Australia for such things is excellent.

I do wish you all the very best and by all means, you are going to finish completing your engine build :thumbsup:

Cheers,

Anthony

Hey Scott,

Just keep doing what you're doing and try to stay positive.

It's not always the easiest thing but as you can see there are many people here behind you and supporting you!

So all the best!

    • 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.
