I use 98RON and WMI, no problem but never been pulled up for an inspection either.  I have been pulled over a few times, but generally only RBT or a look at the car and tyres etc....never had to lift the bonnet.  But I don't do epic skidz, no sh1tz and giggles.

Had my WMI for maybe 10 years, I'd need to look up my receipts.

Mind if I ask what your setup is like? RB26? How often do you topup your tank? Failsafe's?

Gtst so a 25, get over 500km to a tank of 98.  Get over 1,000km to 2.5 litres of water meth.  Its set so that it only injects when you are boosting.  So cruising at 100km/h you aren't really using any.  I have no failsafes, don't really need them.  My motor will show high knock levels if the WMI setup stops working.  But I've not had that happen, plus I set my hand controller up to read knock levels with peak hold and I watch it  just like a speedo or any other gauge...so I'd know if it stopped working.  But again, its only injecting when I'm boosting.

From memory I've set mine up to start at 60% IDC and all in by 80% AND 8psi and all in by 14psi.  But I'd have to check those figures if you really wanted them. 

If I had a Haltech or Link I could maybe set up failsafes, but I have always had a PFC and never really seen the need to change it.

      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.
