this is typed by me (dave) not boxhead, just too lazy to log out:

i was just thinking about it... and not many qld ppl's cars are going at the moment.

1st you have mine with engine being done now, then you got nismogirl and luke with gearboxes, boxhead with crash damage, nizman with no rego..........and japtaxi is just damn slow :P

so, hopefully by next month the regulars are back on the road and going hard.!!

Well my skyline was running beautifully, nice and fast, no problems at all! And had been ever since I got that wheel baring replaced 6 months ago! Then I sold the damn thing...

But that's ok cause I got a 200sx with some nice mods as part trade on it...but then I sold that too...

Oh well...That's it for me and performance cars for a while, I have had enough of all of the headaches with insurance and parts and dodgy mechanics etc

Still have my bike though and its more fun anyway :)

Well after saturday nights events my car has spat the

dummy again.... 22psi was not good for most of the car...

The launch got the front wheels in the air slightly...

Now the suspension is creeking....

The boost has half cooked the gearbox...

Clutch packs

The temp has caused the temp sender to die

Which in turn over fueled the car and drowned the O2 sensor.

Mate its time i buy a Excel..... LOL NOT!!!

    • 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.
    • 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.
