No haven't received them yet. I was in contact with customs this morning and he was suppose to get back to me this arvo. I will contact him in the morning and update at lunch. If I get them tomorrow you should get it by sat.. We will see tomorrow.. All the paper work is done I just have to receive them..

Just got off the phone with customs. He is organising a courier to deliver the kits for tomorrow morning or arfternoon.. If I get it in the morning I will send the kits tomorrow. If afternoon the day afer... Finally comming to an end. :O

i just looked at your gb#1 web page, the kits are in sydney. im in adelaide. your in brisbane. wouldnt it cost less to get customs to send one straight to me instead of up to you then down again to me or is it a thing of the customs fella's not being able to comprehend this.

just a thought to speed things up and save money.

cheers

Unfortunately I cant do that. As basically I'm the distributor. Customs wont drop ship parcels for me..

Getting the cargo sent up to brisbane does not cost me any more than the ship landing in brisbane. The only thing it does cost is time. Really the cargo should have been sent to brisbane not Sydney. But they though this would be the fastest way, sent to sydney first then to brisbane. They are gonna be lucky little kits seeing all of australia before they make skyline car go fast ;)

received kit. very happy. looks chromed not polished, also only has four joiners so i take it i have to use the stock one as the fith. but again, very happy.

wont have a chance to install it untill the 29th but ill post up any probs ideas i have when i do.

cheers

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
