Screw you and your 34 gtr(I'm jelly).

But good to hear it's making progress.

My cranks ready, but I've no cash currently due to selling house and associated costs.

Yeah, guess they are making progress, so was the Titanic!

You should say you lost the cheque from the sale, cash it and take the money and run, pick up the new crank on the way out of town :)

Have used sop plenty of times.

I'm bordering between youth and age, so get most of what's going on.

For now.....

I'm bordering between old age and the box :) I wish it was a softer box and I would not mind going in there, lol

I told you it would be like this haha

My engine is ready :D pick up this week

Trouble is, driving the car was my daily rush and started my day off with a bang after I got the girls off to school .

Knees and shoulders have been stuffed for a while, so no golf and SFA to do at home, well apart from normal house work. I am Mr Mom :)

Cannot wait to get it back and I hope it is everything I think it will be and all will be good again.

Nothing like the feel of power at the touch of your foot, the excitement of being thrust back in the seat and hoping you do not stuff the next change, just thinking about it got me excited , nearly cracked a boner, then I passed out, Fark old age, lol

I'll put some pics up now :)

Well, if Slowly Slowly gets the job done, this one should be done sometime in the future???

They have been rooting around with the oil pickup and cradle over 2 weeks. I used to make Proto Type tubular products and if I was in that industry and could not do that and the cradle mods from scratch in a day, I would sack myself. If I had done the work before and knew I would be doing it again,I would have made a template so I could do it in quickly. With a small tube bender, in minutes for the bend shapes, cut the ends off the old pickup, weld the ends back on the new bends and done, of course you must do it precisely so it ends up where you want it too. Make a jig and it is the same every time :)

I just could not comprehend that if you give a company all of the components 2 months before they tell you to drop the car off, then give you a 6-8 week build time and 19 weeks later, this is as far as they have got and going on the previous time frames for the work done, it could still take them ???????????????????????????? :(

The other work was done on time and at the price quoted , more than happy with the results :)

I know, "you all told me so" , I just could not believe that people in business can be so full of shit and remain in business if they treat their customers like this??????????

These people are something else, they are like mushroom farmers, we are the mushrooms.

The Mushroom :rant:

    • 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.
