well he drives like a grandpa :) i assumed it was an NA because even by normal standards ............ he was REALLY crawling! All iwanted was a bit of a drag ...... just a little one :)

So whats the deal with the engine of yours Cam?

Niz - stupid speeds starting with the number 2... something goes astray and i suffer major power loss...

i drive for another 100km or so and then pull out the plugs.. and nearly break down in tears... something has gone bang inside big time..

it's idling funny and doesn't have as much power.. i'm thinkin i've hurt a valve and that the injectors need checking to find out why it all went bang...

going to get it pressure tested to find out if damage has been done on monday hopefully..

tried to drag that Morley Car Audio or whatever its called Supra last night ...... must be an N/A ..... and whoever was driving it was driving like a total grandpa ..... must be totally weighed down with all those subs probably *shrugs* ....... i thought i was going to have some fun but nope ..... maybe he didnt want to suffer the humilation of a Skyline chopping :)

no Niz your right ive raced him at the plex he drives like a grandad lol nice guy but

well i expected something - i was prepared to lose but it wouldve been nice to have a little bit of fun ....... u think someone that has invested that amount of money for speed would drive more like a Supra and a little less like a barina ....... spose not my place to criticise someones driving ..... just disappointed :)

:grouphug: Cam ...... I had a bit of same deal with ZX .... not so much bang but i put my foot down really hard and it surged power and started coughing ...... had so many bloomin fuel and injector probs after that. Hope its nothing to serious ....... it can take the beating - its a Skyline :)

    • 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.
