haha trust me, it's too low for the driveway :(

even in the ix35 the rear sensors go mental when i back out because the sensors are facing the ground. so i can just imagine the front bar or even the rear bar of my car getting destroyed entering and exiting haha..

Yeah on stock suspension they are deceptively higher than they look

Even on stock suspension, I couldn't get my sedan on my ramps, but the short overhang at the front means it still doesn't scrape on most driveways. Even with 350Z springs now, it only scrapes on quite steep driveways. I just have to watch out for car park bump stops.

My wife's stock J31 maxima scrapes on more driveways than my V35, yet I can get it onto my ramps easily.

What head unit do you have there?? Looks interesting.

The headunit is a custom one that a local company called Carzon did, the owner is a family friend. They are the headunits that are supplied to the local Toyota dealerships when people pick the aftermarket headunit option. Its pretty damn good, comes with 2 usb & a ipod connection in the glove box.

And i'll be honest the only thing i didn't like was the aftermarket reverse camera, its so small thats you will never see it unless its pointed out to you, but 1 day the vision just got blurry. Its okay in regular light but completely hopeless at night, but considering thats the only problem ive ever had with the car. Plus I kept the original headunit and all the parts for it and I will be giving them with the car you could put them back in and put the english software now that the Series 2 english conversion is ready, its the same software for the series 3 V35's.

      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.
