man, even with my busted fuel pump bam, I'd beat you :D

Hey Jas what exactly happened with your pump man?

I was on the rollers just before and after you (as you had to get fuel)

and all i saw was a you get on, do one run and then get off... what happened dude? is she alright?

I was going to come over and intruduce myself, but you looked busy at the time.

Best of luck pal,

God Bless,

Nate

Hey Nate,

My fuel pump, she went BOOM.

Thankfully it's been picked up now and hopefully there isn't too much damage.

Just organising replacing it at the moment. Unfortunately it's now eaten in to my safc2 budget, but whatever will be, will be (I'd have said it in French, but I've got no idea how!).

Next time just throw something at me, that'll get my attention!

Thanks for asking :(

Jason.

And hes even added it to his sig already!

Jason you went very quite when that happened huh! Fair enough...

Jason nearly 3 years ago when i got SLY i just started out with a SAFC and dump pipe and air pod.... 3 years later and $20,000 in extras including a fuel pump it wouldn't surprise me if you would need one further down the track anyhow...

it's starts off with an SAFC and finishes with Engine Rebuild, hi flow turbo Wolf 3d Ex Cam Gears.. thats just the tip of the ice burg..... included in that though is a FUEL PUMP..... my main point and what i said yesterday you will need one anyway later down the track..... especially when ya car starts makin 300+rwhp... and yes one day it will be making that much!!!

awww i missed Nate :( Was there til about 1:30 .... didnt put Niz on - if there's anything wrong with her i personally prefer to live in denial about it at the moment ;)

Sooooooooooooory Loz :(

I would have just missed you... i did see something black blur through one of the side streets just off Albany Hwy on my way there though... tisk tisk Niz :)

And Avram... sorry aging dude... we will meet again mwhahahaha :elaugh:

I had church which dragged out a tadbit longer than anticipated :(

Although Loz, you wil be happy to know that now i know what my car is pulling...i want MORE POWER (in a big booming voice) and the cooler is definately on the books for this christmas holidays... and if your lucky...and nice to me... i will do your piping for your cooler too ;)

Will see you on the cruise though.

God Bless,

Nate

ahh yes that wouldve been me :( Went for a beer with some mates after at Cheers then headed down for a bit of a solo coastal cruise :(

I want more power too :elaugh: although probably get me in more trouble with the law :(

Thanks Paul - beginning to think that it's never gonna happen!

Give Ant a kick in the pants (sounds like a nursery rhyme doesn't it) for me and forget about all the "prettying up" of the engine bay - he's got 4 weeks left to get it all back together and run in!

    • 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.
