sat was THE day as not many peples there, had the track all to myself at one time.

was excellent weather (not cold, but fairly warm) had a friend teach me the 'lines' so that i could get a better time. so far i'm in the low 1:14s to high 1:13s not bad but still got a looong way to go yet, as the clutch was slipping. (i know i know haven't replaced the clutch yet) but i did get to 'bed' in the new brake system i had installed 2 days earlier, put it this way they were smoking nice 'n' good whenever i pitted in.

sun was good too (again with weather) but there were too many classes (and racers) which restricted my time on the track, (i think i went on a total of 3-4 times) had some fun embarrassing a holden 300kw monaro coupe, and one of those NASCAR cars that you can hire for the day to race. overtook both cars on the staright with the clutch screaming and revs going in the red zone, nedless to say they weren't happy. then i got demolished myself by a wrx and an mr2 they past me as if i was standing still, at that time i think the clutch had enough.

looking forward to the next meet. i'll let you know ltsjayce and the rest of the skyline peps on this forum.

i think he is mostly concerned bout 1/4 mile runs than circuit races, thus he might have to set up the car for circuit. ie: stiffen up the suspension, and anything else for it to handle around a circuit.

i could be wrong though, haven't seen or talked to him for a while.

      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.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      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.
