I have never met him (or her :)) but have total respect for what he has to say.

Im sure a lot of people share the same view. I am not talking about a crappy sticky, but an actual section.

He doesnt try to sell you anything, doesnt try to push his business, doesnt get into personal politics (except where called for :D) and only gives you advice that he backs up with proof and or experience.

So instead of him coming to us, why cant we go to him....or would he cripple under the pressure. Im sure ALL of SAU can benefit from his advice.

Cheers

Personally if you had any respect for him you would ask him personally rather than post up a thread like this, I reckon sydneykid does a lot more than anyone should…he is a great help to all people. But in simple terms he does have a life as well and doesn’t always have time to site hours in front on the computer answering peoples questions which I know he at least gets 30pm’s atm per day which he answers. Time is money and good advice is worth money, not saying you have to pay him or anything like that but…you know what I mean (I hope).

Don’t take this as an attack on you, just saying in general. Just a lot of people expect so much when they never put in.

My 2 Cents.

SD has helped me on more than one occasion and I thank him for that. I dont think its a good idea to advertise SD as the answer to all questions though. As said by RegLineGTR he has a life outside of SAU I am sure.

How about a "Thanks for ya help SD" thread. HHhmmm I guess this thread is gonna be like that soon...

how about an "Ask the experts" section?

where you can ask members that work or have worked in the automotive industry in depth questions. (also members that are pro's, but don't work in the industry)

there must be a few people in the trade on here?

So, basically the same Idea as PurpleR32's but without the pressure on the one person

how is this different to the Forced Induction Performance section?

a history is there so you can SEARCH the previous threads and save bothering people with the same questions all the time.

Unless everyone is willing to donate so we can employ someone like SK full time I don't see why we have the right to put pressure on someone like that

I think the onus is on you guys to stop whoring threads so people can find useful posts like SK's more easily and dont have to resort to asking the same questions again.

BTW does SK's son hang out on OzHonda forums lol...

OOhhhhhhhh I don't know, I think SK should charge for his advise...............

Simple yes /no question ----------- 6 pack

Some advise ------------------------- slab

Follow up advise -------------------- Grandfather Port

Complex question ------------------- Rare Breed Wild the sphincter of the universe

Follow up for complex question -- Glenfiddich Scotch.

I would like to vote for 'me' as his agent on 10% commission.

He could give advise evry day except Thursday's thats AA meeting day.

Seriously though, I would owe him a Liqourland store just on my own for the advice he has freely given me. I owe him heaps.

Thanks SK.

      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.
