  1. Chasing a set of standard twin turbos only in good cond for sensible dollars. Car is going back to stock so let me know what you have.
  2. How about a HKS Japan built 2.8 thats only had final run in tune and total of 1200km's. Everything from N1 block and head was brand new. Absolute stonker of a motor and only best of the best used and built by one of the best in the business. Would make a very very wicked stealth sleeper.
  3. You can remove the film but it looks crap and extremely hard to do decent job. Nismo didn't really plan on improvements in lighting technology. Your stuck with Red or White as Led option or if you are prepared to send your cluster to Japan, I can organise this : http://qestjapan.com/itempage/r34/qj-nr4200a.html Not cheap but best leds available world wide hands down.
  4. Beua, as Roach said you can have your boards delivered to Niseko . Just send by takubin to anywhere in Japan, straight to your accomodation absolutely no issue using either Sagawa or Kuroneko as both have delivery options for snowboard gear as this is the way Japanese travel. Send their gear ahead and just take small luggage with clothing, been in operation for donkeys years. You could bring your gear with you and when you arrive take it to either company as they have delivery centres at all airports and send your gear and bob's your uncle. You'll need your accomo name , address and contact phone number and they'll ask for your number in Japan but hotel number is fine, main thing is to have your accomo in niseko correct. I reckon in your case rent and save the coin and hassle sending your boards . You can get last seasons boards for around $20 a day and multiple shops in Hirafu village (main village in Niseko) with english speaking staff that can sort you out. Everything is available for clothing , bindings , boots and boards and even backcountry gear if your heading out. Boot size is no issue as all the foreign owned shops in Hirafu cater for big feet foreigners. Probably biggest shop with widest range is Rythm Niseko and conveniently located in central Hirafu. There's a multitude of shops so plenty to compare different rates and if your not happy with your board take it back and swap for a different one no issue. A lot of the shops have try to buy deals where your rental rate comes off the price of new board but be aware the powder boards you will ride in Japan are longer than what you would ride in the excuse they call snow in Oz. My wife's family come from Korea over to Hirafu every winter and stay at one of our Ski lodges and just rent their gear. They have there own stuff for back in Korea but just bring their own boots, snow wera and kids bring their bindings. They can travel around as much as they want and often go from one resort to another and just hire boards. Another option is to buy in Japan. Last seasons gear, by the time you arrive will be cheap as chips. you'll still drop 40-50,000 yen on 2014 top line board but it will be up to half the price of Oz. Japanese go nuts for new season gear so they'll be grabbing all 2015 gear and most have done their shopping by now. Selling it back to a Japanese shop won't happen and if they did you'll get bugger all for it. You could take it to a 2nd store like Hard Off where they give you a few 1,000yen. Selling back to foreign owned rental shop you'll maybe get better deal but not by much. Way better to take it back to Oz and flog it there. I've been living and riding snow in Japan since early 90's so have a bit of experience. Yep back in Oz now studying, running a few business here in Oz and back Japan and just had new baby so this will first winter I won't ride there in over 20+ years so envious of your fun in the powder. When I lived in Niskoe there was less than a handfull of us whitey's and I rarely got to speak english as just rode with my Japanese friends. With progress and $$$ the place has changed and lot's of old friends have left. I don't ride there much these days as cant handle the foreign influx and do most of my riding in central and Northern Hokkaido and Northern Honshu where there is awesome backcountry terrain. Japans snow is why I went to Japan in the first place and all the playing with fast cars, and other stuff was just a bonus. If you need any help with sending your gear or have any questions , flick me a pm as happy to help out. If you really want to take your gear with you send me a pm with your accomo as I know mosy
  5. Triple gauges still available from Nismo. Dash cluster is the only one not in production anymore. Only now made for R34.
  6. Well the one on Yahoo Japan via Import Monster is already at 43,000yen so call it roughly $440 on exchange. (remember top rate on xe.com or such is not the rate say a import company will get, they will be getting mid rates) Then throw on the following gst : $44 Yahoo and japan domestic fees : about 6-700 yen total so around $7 Then it has to be shipped from seller to import company so around $15 Then import company fee say 10% of purchase price : $44 Then post to Oz by EMS : about $48 So already your looking at total of just under $600 delivered for a 2nd hand unit and this auction hasn't finished yet. Recently saw a second hand one go to UK buyer for around $750 delivered. Price has jumped for them very quickly and new ones get snapped up like lightning.
  7. Not manufactured anymore so going for top dollar $$$ The one in the link is used and auction still going so will probably go higher. Been seeing them go for crazy prices. Sent you pm about brand new one.
  8. On again at the end of the this month. http://www.nismo.co.jp/event/festa2014/index.html
  9. How about Top Secret Carbon. Not made any more so real rare now.
  10. http://www1.skysports.com/f1/news/24182/9502110/red-bull-announce-that-sebastian-vettel-is-leaving-at-the-end-of-the-season "Sayonara Biatch" good to see the back of the whingeing weiner. Hopefully he'll fade away into obscurity. what i'd love to se is at the end of the season all F1 drivers thwon into a MMA cage, forced to skull hald a dozen duble JD's and then game on . Stop the the poor boy top bloke whining and crying and get it on and punch the crap out of each other if they don't like their teamates. I'd have my money on Kimi.
  11. And order from Japan and you'll save yourself at least $500 compared to that price.
  12. double post and I wasn't even drinking
  13. Good price considering HKS Step 1 & 2 is around 5k and Pro version at 7k and that's not including freight. Paul I knew you'd be sniffing around at this
  14. Sorry Roach but Rugby union is pretty bloody big in Japan and has been for awhile and getting bigger. Nowhere in the league of that skirt wearing fairy rounball game nor boring as batshit baseball but it has it's own national league, national tv broadcasts and a hell of a lot of international players at top level down through club level. With world cup coming to Japan it will gain fair bit of interest and a national side that's getting competitive (they used to get drilled on the scoreboard) and whole lot of big coin getting thrown into the top league,its definitely gaining a lot of popularity. Got lot's of friends who have been playing professional rugby in japan for years. With camera gear, hit the big shops like Yodobashi , Bic camera for their display shop models as these can be dirt cheap . Used yes for customers to test but always serviced before being sold. Also there's a lot of good bargains on Yahoo. Picked up quite a bit of Pro level gear for buckleys. Always check that gear has been serviced in last 12 months and ask how lenses are stored. Cheapest gear I've found has been in Korea in Seoul. There's an area that has bucket load of used/new camera gear and you can drive a good bargain. Hlped having the misso who is Korean tightarse but walked away with some great gear at very good prices.

  17. Mate chuck this for sale on the pommy GTR site as you'll have way more luck as multiple Fcon tuners across Europe and you'll probably get your asking price with the pound/euro to aussie dollar exchange rates. http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/
  18. They are the Newer ones. The garbage you hear about the older ones being better is a load of crap. New design was tested for better flow and less disturbance than the old ones plus. Tomei engineers are not idiots, if the old design was better they would have kept it. The old ones had two welds and caused a slight disturbance in flow properties, new design has been flow bench tested and flows better , less disturbance and hence less restriction. It's not about bigger being better, ask any sexaholic chick that, it's about performance and nice smooth flow ! I've been over this with Japanese engine builders and seriously , if the old design was better then that's what Tomei would be selling. I'm not trying to convince you to buy these, just I've sat down with multiple race engine builders in Japan and been through the myth that the old style are better.
