not happy jan..........i failed my p's today out at burwood because on one of the last corners i came out on to the highway and as u cant turn across one lane into another i turned hard into the closet lane which turned out to be a bike lane with a broken line so u could drive there cos it had been a car lane but it changed to a bike lane for 50m. so i stupidly went along it for 50m in tlike the final 2 minuits of the test which i had only dropped one mark on. i was bloody fuming aswell. cos sum guy before me did the same thing but got failed so he figured he couldnt pass me and fail him.

neway i was just soo angry...but the lighter side is its booked again for 10 days time.

I had shit aswell when i went for my P's. First time i went it was busy as at vicroads.. went for a drive did mint, did computer test mint, so i passed everything was happy, smiling ear to ear.. they give me my P's all good.... couple of days later i get a call from vicroads saying that they gave me my P's by mistake.. i go WTF? i passed everything... so i had this huge argument with them..... as i found out later the guy didnt put my info into the comp, so he gave me the card and forgot to enter my record into their database.... so i had to go for it again, and pay for it again..... anyone else had similar?

i didnt fail my Ps, but i lost the max allowable points because i stopped on an orange light thinking it was the right thing to do (i did it safely and checked my mirrors, there was nothing behind me) :slap:

the tester just said i should of accelerated through, if i did that the light would of gone red before i got over the intersection and he would of failed me for going through a red light :looney:

    • 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.
    • 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.
