they said they're going to need another day with the car, I asked then if they could give me a progress report on the car, and they told me They've Replaced the Tint on the Rear window, and replace the springs in the front (it was too low at the front). I'm not an expert and I have no idea how busy these guys are, but they've had the car since Midday Tuesday and all they've done is put a layer of tint on the rear window and swap the springs. They told me they are currently working on the tachometer now, but the car won't be ready until end of day tomorrow.

Doesn't look like I'm bringing it to the cruise.

Hi do you guys know what process is to register a interstate vehicle in WA, have any of you done it ? Is it hard ?

I did search registering interstate but only found eastern state stuff.

Think you need to go pits , and get a road worthy Certificate , haven't done it my self tho [emoji28]

Sad. They get pretty busy most days with engine rebuilds, mods and usual services. But pretty annoying they promised two days but took longer.

Being in similar environment, everyone wants to know when it will be ready

Go short and your a flaming mongrel if it blows out.

Go long and you miss out

Best guess is still only a guess

Right, Under promise, Over Deliver, retail 101.

I'm not upset that it's taking a bit longer, I'm disappointed because we discussed a time-frame, and they couldn't keep it, and they didn't ring me to tell me it was going to take longer.

Also, it took more than 24hours, just to apply tint to 1 window, I know they out-source the tint... but it doesn't take 24 hours to tint 1 window.

also, they charge by the hour, so the longer they take, the more I pay.

Ring around on places that tint c what the going rate is this way you know you wont be over charged, also you are paying for something to be done/service if you dont get said service then negotiate

    • 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.
