Yeah but 2 weeks ago I was at work working my fat ass off (well.. my fat ass has stayed..) and new years wasn't a good time :)

But yea I'm planning to have my alarm done by then so p'raps it might be a matter of just having it installed without the motor and remembering to lock my door. Then when you can show me how it's done I can re-hook it up later.

wait... you say your dad is away ay? :evil:

I've always had a motor that has worked in that drivers door... In fact its really cool, it even automatically unlocks when you open the door (from the inside).

And I love scaring my passengers, I think its tops that the doors lock.

no my dad's at home with the cef (it being his car and all)... and i'm away (coz I live in VIC)...

um if you're gonna pay someone to do the alarm you'd be better off doin the whole thing in one go. Perhaps I'll get Danny to outline the whole process when he gets back (might be quicker n easier).

As for scaring the passengers, my cousin calls it the "kidnapper feature", coz she always gets creeped out by the fact that it locks her in when I start driving.

Oh yeah! With my alarm it locks the doors as soon as you start the car :) Its even better when the person unlocks the door because they dont like it only to have it lock 10secs later after you start driving :)

Funky that's a good idea. I might have a go at the alarm myself - then I can add a few extra tricks :thumbsup:

The door auto lock novelty factor is all good I'm just over when people go to open it they are like wtf.. then i have to hit the switch. Then if they're impatient they were trying to open the door when i hit the switch so then i have to hit it some more times. :uzi:

well mine's wired up so I can unlock all the doors by either:

1. opening my door

2. hitting the lock/unlock button on my door

which seems to be more friendly than just the lock/unlock button.

i've got no central locking anymore(had it when landed though), never had the doors auto locking though. My lock all button works too. My 105kmh ding gets drowned out by the exhaust hehe.  

I wouldnt mind getting central locking working though as it is handy.

Baby steps Mark, get the car running first :)

For the auto lock i'm pretty sure if you cut the wire running to the ECU that controls the speed cut, then it'll disable the auto locking, and it's a cheap way to remove the speed cut. The downside to this is that the hicas light on the dash stays on, I just took the light out of mine, but come time for inspection, over here in Okinawa all of your check lights have to work, so i always have to hook everything back up. I'm not sure about the beeping, mine was stock turbo so it didn't have that, but it's probably controlled by the same wire

      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.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      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.

      My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
