  1. bump! buyer fell through so for sale again.
  2. SOLD I have my standard turbos for sale. I removed these to fit my current turbos (HKS GT-SS) and they are in perfect working order. They have done genuine 75,000kms and exhibit no faults. These come off my '99 BNR34 GTR V-Spec and make a decent upgrade or replacement of std R32 turbos. You would need to replace dumps as well though since the R32 std dumps are small. These do not come with dumps they are just the turbos as is. Pic: SOLD
  3. People complained last Ribs n rumps due to the price. I doubt we could step it up much although I personally wouldn't mind. Although for convenience LCSH gets my vote, love their pepper steak too.
  4. If you cant understand the concept of using the space saver as a limp home only under 80km/h device then perhaps you need to hand over your keys and take the bus from now on. I dont care how many RWKW your full sic skyline has you can drive it slowly to get it home with a space saver on without problems. The guy who killed himself and another person while using a space saver is not a reason to stop using space savers for the other 99.999999% of drivers who understand what they are for.
  5. There is a way to fit halogens to an R34 headlight without butchering the Xenon bits and pieces. Once compliance is completed the Xenon goodness can be refitted (by you or your workshop). This however is about an hours? work and not all workshops know how or what theyre doing so destroying a perfectly good headlight is usually what happens.
  6. Oh well I had sushiya the other day so ive decided i can probably do genki whatever place on thursday now after all.
  7. Cars do not sit on top of the boat exposed, they are inside the hull strapped down. Container shipping adds only slightly more, 500 - 1500 on top + decontainering fees at customs at this end. You are best off looking at recent past auction prices to get an idea of what you can get for 4million.
  8. Well I guess you could say I did both, I imported myself but I went through Prestige Motorsports as a broker. I got onto their auction list and waited until a GTR came up. I was seeing about 6 - 10 per week. Some cars grade R some cars grade 5 some in between. I reviewed auction sheets and set my bid limit and eventially got my car at a USS Tokyo auction. For an R34 GTR it is still advisable to buy in Japan. You will save money over buying one locally. Local examples for sale seem to be either pricey or of questionable history. Some of the guys have gone to Japan to select the car themselves but this requires someone in Japan to escort you into the auctions and you'd need to organise it. My advice is: - Be prepared to spend 4 million yen for a good car - Do not settle for a non-vspec - Avoid cars from from the northern regions of Japan - Buy a stock car - Avoid cars with factory GPS this is useless in australia and clutters the dash with unuseable features - Avoid Kiwi line shipping, use NYK etc - Chase the bill of lading and dereg papers as soon as you can, chase your buyer up for this - Use a customs broker, take a couple of days off work to ensure you are chasing everyone who needs to be chased when the car lands - Pick it up from the docks yourself, be early, docks open 7.30am - Drive the car to the complier yourself or pay good money for a flatbed who will not destroy your front lip - Do your homework on the compliance situation, use a complier who will not destroy your xenon lights in the compliance process - At the RTA they will tell you that you've been selected for a "random" numbers check and that you must book an appointment for an inspection. If the date they choose is more than 5 days away you are entitled for an interim rego label so you can legally drive the car until that is done
  9. I will be eating at Sushiya while the soft cocks eat at Ramen Genki. They are practically the same place anyway and the food at Sushiya is about a squillion times better. That is to say I am in.
  10. I would buy a stock airbox with a decent panel filter to replace the pod filter. Pod filter is going to cost you performance in terms of day to day driving.
  11. Adjustable cam gears cause DEATH ok.
  12. The R34 GTR ones wont be much good to you as they say GTR and not SKYLINE.
  13. For the money though I would not be buying one brand new considering the other options out there.
  14. $145 for the injector seals and o-rings from nissan
  15. Don't listen to all these haters. The sounds you can get are: 1. Pssssttthhhh 2. Pssthhfoofoofooofooo 3. Psrrtfoooossssssstshhhhh 4. Waassssshooooommmmff 5. Pizzzzooooo and finally everyones favorite at the moment. 6. pooosssshhhhchooofooof ooof ooof.... ooof I recommend installing two or three of them at once so you can get what they call BOV harmonies happening. Oh and the best brand on the market is obviously got to be the Brotec. Suzuki wouldnt have chose them as their factory BOV supplier if they werent awesome.
  16. You most certainly can avoid that one if you or your RAWS has a license to import pre-charged equipment. Many do, check with your RAWS. Supply a copy of that license to your customs broker.
  17. Well we should've watched it since one of SAU's own was responsible for the story.
  18. I have it on good authority that my GTR will be there in a driveable state... We shall see!
  19. I paid less than that for sard 700's brand new. Why bother with wrx injectors?
  20. Yeah don't recommend going to Nissan. All up injectors o-rings and seals for an RB26 is $145++
  21. I think godzilla himself should sign on to his account and post the answer. I think we'll be on the right track then.
  22. Im in.........
  23. grats mate looks nice. needs that tint and its ready to go.
  24. I used K-Line and my car arrived perfect. So they dont offer insurance but it appears Kiwi's insurance is almost worse than no insurance at all.
