Terry, it's got nothing to do with moronic Australian politicians, the value of the Aussie dollar is well and truly out of their hands, the yen is being devalued by Bank of Japan who Prime Minister Abe was able to finally place a puppet in charge of the whole operation and devalue the yen against the US dollar and roll the money printing presses. The US dollar had got extremely weak against the yen and Abe as part of his Abenomic plan had to get the presses rolling. With the US having had their money presses going full bore for quite some time the Aussie dollar is propped way above what it's worth. Won't come down until the US and Japan are happy with their economic status and ready to stop their presses and let their currencies run their normal trend, but when it does drop, it's going to hurt people big time. Problem is in Australia most people financially walk round with their heads up their arses with no real clue whats going on on world scale with market manipulation and currency drives. The old it'll never happen here attitude is going to see a lot of people hurt in future years. The other thing to keep in mind is all models of the Skylines are getting long in the tooth now and Japanese part manufacturers are slowing fading parts out of production. With the average Tanaka not being able to afford big mods anymore (and really have not for quite some time) more and more manufacturers are shutting shop or adapting to the market and making parts to suit what the Japanese are buying these days. Have a look at the Top Secret catalogue these days, parts and kits for Prius's !! I personally know of one huge Japanese aftermarket company that is slowly winding down their performance part production, shutting showrooms and workshops down accross Japan and have set up their main factory to build truck gearboxes and special earthquake shock absorbers for buildings. They'll be around for a bit longer thanks to the GTR35 but change is already happening and other companies are following suit. People seem to think the foreign call for parts is big business but it's insignificant compared to Japanese local market and to survive it's either adapt or shut the doors.

Got a N1 crank in ex condition. Can get some pics tomorrow

Gold Coast !!

Just service stickers !! Pic 1) Timing belt Pic 2) Oil change and filter Pic 3) Water repellant/washer fluid

Still for sale ! Top quality lens !!

Pretty sure that's a track day at Tsukuba !

And only about $25 to send to Oz by EMS with full insurance !!

The JDM Auto ones are QEST JAPAN lights and not their own and are "Highly marked up in price"!! Qest lights use genuine Nissan housings and their led components are better quality than what nismo actually use. Qest do a lot of custom modding on the Nismo lights so quite possible these have been modded by them. Nismo lights would cost you around the $1,100 mark landed depending on exchange rates so Pav34's are a fair price.

Qest use better led components than Nismo and use genuine Nissan housings. They can do custom builds as well !! I get them at best price around !!

Yes definitely. You can generally book Japan domestic flights 2 months before you want to fly. You can fly Narita - Sapporo return and Kansai - Sapporo return for around 10,000yen.(5,000yen each way) Sometimes cheaper if they have a sale.

http://nisekodiscoveryholidays.com/downtown-lodge Ok this place is right in the thick of it in Hirafu (Niseko) with easy walking access to lifts and you've got bars, restaurants and convenience stores. It's owned by a mate of mine and they have specials on at the moment. I think you might have to share a room but rates used to be pretty cheap and like I said real convenient for access to everything including the bus to Kutchan for big supply runs. You can either catch bus from the Airport at Chitose (Sapporo) direct to Niseko Hirafu and pay them and the y will pick you up and drop you back at the airport. The accomo is pretty simple but everything you need and has internet, tv etc and decent common room where you can drink and rave about the lines you pulled on the mountain. The good thing here is you'll meet heaps of people and probably end up hooking up with a few crew and ride together. Flick them an email and get a price and do it early as now is when specials are on. Ok with the off piste.. it's not backcountry riding but just means off the groomers. There's plenty of beginner to moderate areas that are easily accessed and heaps of powder. Golden rule of Japan powder is don't stop on the flats or you will be wading through chest deep powder and it ain't fun and hell of a lot of work. If your out on your own just get around the mountain, ride all the lifts and get to know it then explore the powder as plenty of it. I can sort you a map to good stashes that don't get tracked out straight away and also keep in mind Niseko has night boarding and if it's dumping (which it does quite consistently) night boarding can be way better than riding during the day. Get yourself a set of clear lens or slightly yellow for night riding as normal day lens will be pain in the backside. You can switch lenses easily enough but I usually have 2 -3 sets of goggles set up with lenses for different conditions. Biggest bonus of night riding is the lack of crowds and since Niseko got popular mid 2000's it has got extremely crowded over peak periods. One thing if you like a drink or two, buy a stash of your own beers and always have a few pre dinner or going out drinks to save you a bit of coin. Long neck Sapporo Drafts are the go !! A few bars have happy hours and some Japanese Izakaya's have nomi/tabihodai which is all you can eat and drink for say 1hr for around $25. Lot's of parties going on in bars and clubs all winter but do yourself a favour and try getting to a few where local Japanese hang out as nothing worse than going o/seas and hanging out with aussies the whole trip. Anything else you want to know just fire away.

Check Jestar web page to do bookings. Narita to Sapporo and Kansai to Sapporo Cheap tickets will start again in September onwards. July /August are peak times for domestic travel in Japan. You can also try Skymark Airways : http://www.skymark.co.jp/en/%C2'> They only book 2 months in advance as do Jetstar but Skymark have crazy sales from 9am and you can get tickets for 1,000yen but only on sparrow fart early flights. Also, how is Niseko for boarding? I have a Burton twin which apparently isn't very good for powder. Should I just hire a board? The Twin will be ok depending on it's size. Yo really need to step up a few cm's in length than what you would ride in Oz. If you can be bothered take your board, spend some time on the main course areas getting to know the mountain and hen head off piste into the powder and see how you go. You can always hire powder boards no problem. Make sure you set your bindings as far back and when you hit deep powder lay way back on your back leg. After 5 months of riding powder each year my back leg calf and thigh muscles are bigger than my front leg. Japanese or Western style ??

I'm standing and have sent you message !! Check your Ebay and please refrain from doing business here ! Mods can you delete this !!

Second half of Jan definitely better and will be well on the way to getting a good base. Thing is what people don't understand is niseko needs a decent base to open all areas and to have optimum riding in those areas.The snow has to bury the sassa (type of bamboo) and lots of snow tends to open the tree areas as all the sassa and small shrubs and trees are buried. For nightlife Niseko is way, way better than Hakuba although in pas couple of years Hakuba has livened up a bit but you can party every night in niseko. Hakuba is pretty quiet compared to Niseko so if your on pat malone your way better off heading to Niseko as plenty of friendly bars and restaurants. You can do shopping locally in niseko but way better off doing a bus run into local town Kutchan and do a big supermarket top up for food and munchies. Onsens are easily accessed and definitely worth doing a run out to Yukichichibu out past Chisenupuri.

February will be good. Should be solid base by then and then Niseko Powder machine will be in full force. Base should be somewhere around 3-4 metres and nice and cold for the super fast powder. Depending on when in February you go the crowds will be a bit thinner especially if it's end or nearing the end of school holidays in Oz. Niseko area has it's own crazy weather with deep cyclonic lows forming up north of Hokkaido and with systems coming out of Siberia and crossing the ocean between Russia and Japan the place just pukes super dry powder like a machine and thus attracts the crowds. The area has a lot of ski in accommodation form backpacker bunk style to top end penthouse 5 star and big bucks and plenty of nightlife with bars and plenty of variety of restaurants. Getting there is simple. If you fly into Narita you can fly domestic with Jetstar direct to Sapporo / Chitose airport for around $60 and then easy as to get the bus direct to Niseko. There's a few Japanese bus companies running services daily and plenty of foreign companies offering airport pick ups. Regarding ski gear , I have a house in Niseko so leave all my boards and gear there. If you want it easy as far as luggage then just hire your gear there. Niseko has a couple of foreign owned ski rental companies http://www.inski.com.au/ and cater for foreign sizes so no issues getting gear to fit. They also offer demo day deals where you can test out different types of powder skis and boards. Taking your own gear make bloody sure your skis are decent proper powder skis and longer than normal that you would use in Oz. The powder is super soft and te last thing you want is to be under gunned and sinking in the powder. Wading through chest deep powder is not fun !! Personally I'd take all your snow wear and boots and hire ski's there as you'll have the right gear for the conditions. When buying your lift pass, depending on how many days your there grab a 2-3 Hirafu pass and once you've worked out this side of the mountain (Hirafu and Hanazano) then buy the all mountain pass so you can get away from the hordes and explore the whole mountain. This way you can ride all over Higashiyama and Annupuri and access some wicked powder stashes and the back bowl. Hakuba has the steeps depending on where you stay. Gets good snow but not as dry as Niseko but still get's bloody good. Off piste you need to know your shit and be very avalanche aware as they do happen and hence the ski patrol are nazis and will confiscate your pass if riding off limit areas. February /March Hakuba builds a bloody fantastic snowpark which attracts some of the best snowboarders in Japan and riders from the rest of the world. Night life is pretty quiet compared to Niseko and big variety of budget accommodation. Mate and I are going to be offering full back country tour guiding all over Hokkaido wherever the best snow is and this will be around late Jan and Feb. Tours will have full the Japanese experience with emphasis not just on the snow but also getting the full Japanese experience visiting Japanese restaurants and bars and getting to hang out with some cool Japanese people. The 2 of us have a combined 25 years of riding , guiding and living in Japan and are fully experienced back country guides. Anyway, if you need anymore info or info on bookings, flights, accomo etc, etc just fire away, happy to help. Sorry Loach but it's crap !! Its just started to really start snowing and can and has rained through this time. If your comparing it to OZ then it will be all time epic but if going off Niseko average then its prety average and extremely crowded. I started riding and living there in late 90's and pulled the pin on the place in 2007 as it had turned into a circus and nowdays a lot worse. Around xmas time you'll be playing spot the Japanese as most Asians you'll see are from Hong Kong. You'll definitely get snow and if lucky some decent powder but it won't be the famous champagne powder that niseko is famous for. People get sucked into the sales pitch to come over for a white xmas, yep there's snow and can be good but still not pristine but still can be fun.

Hey Terry sorry been busy as with Uni exams and went away gold prospecting and missed your message. Will have a suss at pm and get back to you later.

Exactly ! As a lot of these items that keep coming up for sale at way over retail prices in Japan are readily available in Japan and just need to be ordered !! Just sometimes a lead time for manufacturing !! People..do your research !!
