  1. Start googling for JDM spares in your area. Alternatively, look on Yahoo auctions Japan for a pair, and get Jesse Streeter to send it over (if you're in AU).
  2. You'd get rolled for sure. Having an Asian car, they think you're part of 5T or something
  3. At what cost though? (years ago I heard they were around $10k, maybe it was a different Snap-On scan tool...)
  4. Put up a proper sale thread. With prices. No threads with just a link.
  5. Best bet is to put the wheels on your car as is then measure how much change you want to make. One advantage of having the same size all round is you can rotate back/front for a more even tyre wear.
  6. I think they come with petrol particulate filter, probably why it's even quieter. Does it have fake engine noises (through speakers)? Can you disable it? I know on BMWs they have that, an can code it out ("Advanced Sound Design" or some crap like that). I checked my car and it doesn't have it, so the soft farts are real exhaust noises hahaha.
  7. There's a couple of threads in here that will interest you https://www.sau.com.au/forums/forum/85-importing-vehicles/
  8. Second this. I thought most modern cars have one pre-cat and post-cat (my Liberty did, and that came out in 2009)
  9. Yeah. You could re-lip the rears to 9-9.5" if you like.
  10. Nice one. How's the farting noises? They are pretty rad, 310 kW from a 2L, that was race engines not too long ago.
  11. Iron Chef Imports has a pretty good rep. Try them, if you're keen on importing one. But like others have said, there's already a bunch here in Aus so you save the hassle.
  12. A friend of mine had a 320i years back and the same thing happened to him. Bloody plastic parts in engines should be outlawed.
  13. full custom job. Let us know how you go!
  14. Lovely car. Exactly what I wanted one badly for years, but they're so rare down here in Aus. Had to settle for Skylines instead Some days I regret not pulling the trigger to import one.
  15. Probably hard to grow corn or sugar cane up there.
  16. that is true, if you have the capabilities of working on the engines, the Passat et. al. is good value with heaps of features.
  17. Don't bag the Prius, they hammer for an economy car. OP, don't bother with parts exchange (it's useless), try importing a complete turbo front cut. That way you get the brakes and other bits for engine conversion. Heaps of Cefiros get drifted and crashed. They will suffer from JDM tax sadly, so save up and be patient. Hell you could even throw in an RB25DE from R33/R34 in, they're pretty decent to rev out. There have been a few done on R31s here in Australia.
  18. If you make it multiple parts, can perhaps get Jaycar to 3D print for you. Or maybe Boosted Int. can help you out? He's done a heap of Nissan stuff.
  19. Yuck VAG. I recently went through this. Hatches/small cars were heavily inflated. I found Accord Euro to be a good deal. CL9s easily go for less than $10k, I bought a base CU2 for $11k last year (130k km, serviced at Hani's or whatever that Honda garage near Cabra is called). My cousin picked up a half decent CL9 for $7k. Auto or manual, (if looked after) reliable, can get the luxury with sunroof and HID headlights. I bought my black GTS-t Type M for $6k back in the day, was immaculate and stock. R.I.P.
  20. The standard one's front update reminds me of R34 "series 2"
  21. megahellaflush, 1cm contact patch
  22. 1. Wait until you can save up for engine conversion/off your P plates. 2. Replace engine with Barra
  23. Shipping from demon tweeks will be heaps less, you can get good stuff off them for decent prices.
  24. Thread cleaned up.
