have you ever been through the mallaca straights?

it really is amazing it doesnt happen more often. its not like the ships can just put on the brakes and stop in 100m.

I was heading into singapore once (sailed in there a few times), and at 45 degrees to port and starboard or the bow, I counted over 90 contacts, then I gave up.

How the *** do you colide with a supertanker?  

Its not like u wouldnt see it coming!

Surprisingly its fairly easy for larger ships to collide.

Problem is that they are very hard to manouvre. You just cant turn them around or stop, it can take a long distance (kilometres)

Often they come across each others path's at fairly late notice and in heavy seas, or fog its all over. In really heavy seas its possible to loose sight of big ships very easily.

Commercial ships are alot different to control than a small tinny or even a 60ft charter boat!

that actually happened last week..and it was only about 100 japanese second-hand cars..still a shame though.

I had a friend last week whose car managed to make it safely to Australian shores, only to have a container accidentally dropped on it. doh!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
