Well, yesterdya, after many months of waiting, i took delivery of my car fom the docks...

After waiting there for hours cause their computers were down! I finally had the keys... you shoulda seen how fast i ran to the car!

I opened the door, and got in, shaking with excitment. No idea what to do first... start it, look under the hood?

First thing i noticed, was, AVCR stolen :)..

Started it perfect first go, jumped out, popped the hood, all looked how it was meant to, got in, drove out..

The security guy who gave me the past out signalled me to smoke em, so, ofcourse i did... 2nd gear sideays. Shaking harder than ever, heart punding harder than ever, and something else was harder than ever ;)

Get to the front gate, in hysterics. Quickly get my licence back, my dad is like ?WOW! jumps in.

He says, now take it over and park it. i say.. like ****! im driving it.

Take it out on the straight at the front, and flatten it, 1st spins and 2nd is slammed in like 2 seconds, still smoking, sideways past all the truckies.. snap 3rd, still spinning. i freak out a bit thinking, i dont want to stack here. i have no insurance!

the look on my dads face, who drives a HSV Clubsport with 240 odd rwkw, and says "F**k... are skylines meant to be this fast?!" hehehe...

Anyway, just thought id show you all, and tell you that its mental fast. its running 1 bar (14psi) off a hks actuator, off a nissan turbo, bigger than standard tho. With teh AVCR, im guessing it woulda been maybe 18psi? anyway, now all i have to do is work out what is done to it.

The suspension and driveline setup is mental. its tight as and goes where you point it. front and rear swaybars and strut braces, HKS coilovers, and 2way lsd (that works!)

Shes at Carizma now being complied. omg i cant wait. They say they will start work on tuesday.. should be about 2 weeks from now.

Here is the beasty...

(i dont know what the (SAM) sticker is, but ive decided, thats my cars name, hehehe)

    • 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.
    • 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.
