R31_silo2: well.. I've got something in the works and it already has a comparable stereo gear. Curiously there are NO rear speakers... anyone seen this before?? I thought rears were stock.

race_snooze: well see, I coulda sworn I saw one that was white in my suburb and thought that was the one I was gonna check out, but this one was grey. So I might have seen yours, but I have nfi where you live :D

lol @ starting 32 vs 33 war

As for weight diff mines 1260kg so whats a 32 hmmm

what have you done to you R33 to make it 1260kg, as they came from the factory at a kerb weight 1370kg? R32's were 1290kg kerb weight from factory

Just remember guys, you can't get Milk and Juice in 2.5L

Dunno if I got this right, but by comparable gear I'm guessing you mean like aftermarket? Having no rears is not unheard of, specially caus by the time you get your hands on a car with stock speakers they are usually shite.. thus if you cudn't afford both front and rear .. and wanted some good front ones (ie splits), I know I'd shuv the old out the door.

I dont have rear speakers in mine but the boot makes a good place for a pair of 12.5 Subs. Not putting in the rear speakers certainly helps the doof doof get into the cabin :)

Yeah. I just thought it was weird @ no rears. I don't send any signal to the rears in my Civic anyway (just fronts and sub), so I guess it just saves weight and no interference between 6x9's/whatever and the sub.

Mine subs only 10" and did the job in the Civic, hope it'll be ok in the line. I got 10" cos it was cheap and I like my metal so need a quicker response than 12".

I'm not quite outer belco snooze.

BTW: I made a post on car covers for skylines but noones answered :) guess everyone's lucky enough to have a garage (and not have a family of 4 with one car each!). Plus I'll have the civic until I flog it off so that's 5 cars. We have a garage but it's chockas so NOONE parks in there, what a waste...

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • 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.
