That sounds good. Where is this Skyline Farm hangout you speak of jason?

Will out asses hurt the next morning if we drink this special wine of yours?:)

A crowd like that can make or break a maccas! Obviously when I was there they were doing great business!! Now... well I guess we will see. It was only a matter of time till they closed the carpark, we all know that it is a great danger to the public to have cars meeting in one spot :)

It only gets dangerous when some w@nker starts "racing" around the carpark, or starts doing burnouts.

That's the problem with meets like this, it's gotta attract some c*cksucker that ruins it! :) I reckon we should belt up this c*ckmuncher!

ouch...!

is it time to go back to parramatta rd kebabs at burwood/enfield??? :)

hands up those who were around in those days!? the days when nick brought out the first white r33 gtr i ever saw in sydney! the days when fairfax, cosgrove & mazwreck were kings..... :)

yeh when i rocked up there was the chains in place, but all the cars were in the street next to the maccas, lines the whole way up.

the maccas doesnt own the carpark, they only own the first section, the rest belongs to the homemaker centre, thats why theyre blocking it off...

but i wish they would open it up! because it was closed, there was a massssssive line of people turning right off cumberland tryin to turn in because of the amount of ppl in there jamming it up......so if it was open there would of been no traffic, good one security/police whoever.

runs were shit last night, nothing but p platers being hard ****s, some of them are maniacs though, this guy in a done up s15 on red p's of all things, full of trust gear was running everrrrrybody....crazy ****s.

burger king is too small :)

franks, you talking about smokey joes :)

damn, thats way back.

thats the days when the bondi beach carpark would be absolutely packed on weekends, be the equivalent of what cumberland maccas carpark was the last few weeks.

remember those days :)

    • 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. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
