  1. well... yr car is not a 92 model but a <91 model, i knew it from the seat, rear wing and boot lock. it should be a ca18de/det car swap with a SR20det.
  2. i will be there for sure! have to break into 13 sec
  3. skyline good - a better daily driven car, more comfortable and refinement. better off boost power due to 2.5L and big brakes. bad - heavy, higher maintenance, had to spend more on mod if u want to go REALLY serious. 180 good - better handling, touch faster, u won't see many around. bad - noisey, roomy. i upgrade from silvia to r33 as i think silvia is too small for me(me,gf & sister) and it's damn noisey, not good for daily driving. but as my gf & sister got the own car now, i would like to go back to silvia(S15) as it's cheap to reach my aim of performance(low 12sec car)

    fingers crossed

    u can swap my standard wheel just for tomorrow if u want? is it too late to say? good luck anyway!!
  6. http://www.caraudioaustralia.com/, they have an online store. i done mine at complete car audio, even affect the quarter mile time, i think it still worth it.
  7. Performance stock form, S14 is better due to lighter and more touque engine but with mod, i will go for R32, at least u can increase to rb23 for reasonable price then it allow u to put a bigger tubro in it. handling maybe s14, but R32 has bigger brakes s14 is roomy, r32 u can have 4 people in it comfortablely i will go for R32, specially the price is cheaper

  10. just try to make some extra pocket $, as the profit i make is so small, my gf always told me to spend something doing something else, it just don't worth the effort i spend. The reason i start thinking of doing this is i try to buy something here, as a poor student, i am not able to afford the performance stuff selling here. I try to buy something OS and i know as i can do it for myself, i can do it for someone else. The more product purchase though me, the bigger bargaining power i have, at the end, i will able to buy cheaper stuff for myself. just that simple. I am just a middle man, if i can buy any product over here in reasonable price, i will rather buy it here instead of buying it oversea, save a lot of work, and i got warrenty too. Unfortunately, the disbutor over here do make hell lot of $$, the biggest different i know, instead of performance parts, is car audio. I go to a audio shop asking for price of an Apline 7998, the RRP is $1699, the best price the shop able to give me is 1300, the street price of this HU in HK is $900, i told the shop and he say the price he get this HU is somewhere around 1100? even shops over here don't make ANY profit, they still not able to match the price OS...
  11. i am keen on the driver training course too, improving driving skill is always important, specially we drive a skyline.

    well... it a good question! i don't know... it was setted by the previous owner, and i haven't touch it then as he haven't give me the "key" of the suspension
  13. not a really good cruise tonight, only 3 cars - me, Andrew & John. But i do visit a DAMN nice house, so it all worthwhile. p.s. my gf is yelling at me to sell my car and make way for a house similar...
  14. well, they do charge, b4 u shoot me, ring up custom and ask if what i say is true. They can charge u 25% whenever they want as they will told u have no evidence to show that u are using the stuff or selling it. If u bring the part with u, they won't charge. But by post, usuallythe custom will charge u. if custom open yr box and don't charge u, u are LUCKY. If everything with a word 'personal use' can be tax free, the distubutor in Aus. will all go bank rob. for e.g. My mum bought me a sony DC for christmas present and i bought myself a profec e-01 when i go back hk last christmas, i use the DC for the whole holiday, and i left both of them over there when i come back. I ask my mom to send them here then as i want to use it. The DC has no box, no manual, and used. custom open my box and charge me $271 for the DC and $200 for the e-01. recipt can be show if u want to. if u are not happy with what i charge. I WILL NOT charge any tax before hand. IF custom charge tax, i pay the 10% G.S.T. for the customer! how is it?
  15. u are lucky of not being catch by custom, but mostly, custom will open yr box and charge tax. i receive two 10-20kg box of jap snack/sweet from my mum every month, nearly MOST of them has been opened and checked. let's face it, custom is working everyday. injectors are small so it might be fine, but try something bigger like intercooler and exhaust and see what custom do to u... PLS mention about WHEN custom charge, buying from me save u 12.5%

    they were tein, VERY hard, u don't want to stay in the car after dinner... but recently i got some michelin sport (used to be Falken GRB), they were SO comfortable and very grip, now the car was alot better now.
  17. but thr quality of photo is very good, it looks better than real!?(mine only)
  18. the method of knowing how much the product is: price showing on greenline web site plus 12.5% tax on top , if it's over a$200 plus postage i am not sure how much is the postage either, i am guessing too. for PFC, it would be around $50-$100 by air
  19. Hi everyone, As 1 of my mate own a performance shop in hk, i am now able importing new parts at cheap price, instead making web site, open a shop, what i do is matching the prices of http://www.greenline.jp greenline. I also sell stuff which not showing on their web site, feel free to ask if there is anything u want. When u purchase from them, u have to pay 15% to the custom and 10%GST (total 25%), what i do is u only pay 12.5% when u buy from me. Any product under $200 will be tax free. EMS postage will be very expensive if u purchase big stuff like intercooler, rims... instead of sending by air, i can offer people of choice sending by sea - save a lot from postage (e.g. an intercooler by air would be $200+? sea would be $60-$80) Only selling to adelaide people atm, but will able to sell in Sydney and melbourne soon. I don't make big $$ on selling stuff, the money i earn will help a bit of my car mod/living expense. The reason i do it is i don't want to work part time anymore, which affect my study quite a lot. As a oversea student, I am paying 17k+ school fee per year! not include living of course... just give u a brief idea how cheap the stuff is. HKS GT Sports Turbine Kit GT2530 turbo. Wastegate actuator. Gasket. will be around $2750 + postage by sea($150?) HKS Camshaft 256 degrees duration, 8.8 mm lift around $1069 per pair + postage by sea($100?) WHY go for second hand if new is that cheap??
  20. anyway, lucky they were not able to break in yr car. Fxxking theif...
  21. well, i match the price of Greenline, they seems to be the cheapest i seen in Aus. But i offer cheaper post method and paying less tax http://www.greenline.jp/catalogue/bcpartli...ntake=FI#engine If u can get a qoute cheaper than greenline, let me know, i think i still can match it. First, i should get parts cheaper than them, second, i am not a shop, i don't support my living by selling parts.... for how long they arrive aus. that's all depends on the post office... the sooner u want, the more postage u pay. if people are interest, i might start organise something about it.
  22. 1 of my mate own a performance shop in hk, so i am thinking of importing parts, as it's even cheaper than Japan, if i can match the prices of Greenline, but offer people of choice sending by sea(save a lot from postage), plus i might able to get them tax free or a bit less (if u purchase from them, u have to pay 15% to the custom and 10%GST) will u guys order from me?
  23. just move to a house which is walking distance to RPM, worth go for a visit someday
