Howdy Scottman,

First up, car club.....SAU NSW is a CAMS affiliated club, so by joining up you get access to all the CAMS events. Details are here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=44115

We head out to a heap of competitive events, motorkhanas, hillclimbs, super sprints, drag days, track days, drift days, you name it. Even some circuit racing.

Its a great idea to join a club and talk to members about how to go about things, you can get a heap of good ideas and save yourself wasting a heap of cash.

Have fun :)

Oh on the car, I personally would go an r32 gtst if I were you....have a chat to Roy on these forums about it ;)

I got a cefiro and I'm down with SAU.

You'll notice on the shannons link you posted the car clubs there are classic/vintage/old school car clubs. None of them are Nissan clubs :rofl:

I joined because:

1- they're the most helpful and knowledgable people

2- least amount of keyboard kiddies

3- active track peoples

4- cheap membership

5- active street peoples (meets/cruises etc)

6- CAMS affiliated (NSW)

What more could you want?

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

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      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.

      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.
