Your thread didnt dissapear, I moved it to a more relavent section. This thread should probably go in the general section as there would be a lot more people who would have this type of experiance in that section than this one, but I'll let it stay for now.

You just cant keep starting topics on a whim about trivial subjects though mike, that is why SAu has other sections :blush:

Slidewize Imports. i used them for my GTR gearbox and Series 2 taillights and they were awesome. they lost half of my tail lights at one point, found them and posted them overnight to me at their cost. they do good things

oh ok then i didnt realise trying to get stuff for a stagea on yahoo was irelivant to this section .maybee mike will look in here but not talk as i must just be a dum dum and not know the rules

im after imfo and past experiences on yahoo auctions. do u use a broker and who etc.

nah, ya didnt use the word "stagea"

........... if only youd said you were going to use the yahoo auctions to bring in heaps of Stag gear........

:happy::laugh:

have a look at: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=74993

I have used these 2.

www.rinkya.com

Have bought over 50 items thru them. Fee's can be a bit hard to work out, but once you know it works well

or

www.fromjapan.co.jp

used them once to try them out. Had no problems, their fees are alot more simple and easier to work out

The advantage of using these companies is you get to bid your self. Bidding is live just like using ebay.

No need to pay a deposit like with slidewise and let/wait for them to put a bid on a day or 2 earlier. It is not the best way to bid to get things at the best price. One thing with Yahoo auctions, if you place a bid within 5 minutes to go, the auction gets extended another 5 min. stops people doing "sniper" bids with 10 sec to go.

The only disadvantage with these companies is you can only but items that can be shipped using EMS or sea freight size and weight limits. So this excludes things like body kits, engine etc

I have used them to buy my Volk GTC and R34 GTR wheels with good success using sea freight, about 7-8 week wait.

The fee costs using these Japanese companies or Slidewise work out to all be about the same.

I have used Slidewise to get my R34 GTR front bar from JP, so the item could come in a container. Disadvantage was the wait of 4 months and you have to pay duty and gst , even if the item is under $1000 due to the fact the whole container assignment is under one name, so they get hit with customs fees. Also with slidewise the items via container come to Melbourne. Then you have to pay to get shipped again to you. I paided $400 for a complete genuine front GTR bar in Jp but the final cost to me in Brisbane ended up at $1070!

It is not worth buying new items of yahoo, because once you add the all the extra fees/commissions they ended up alot more then using someone like Nengun etc.

Sorry for the long response.

Questions?

    • I am being real ocd and do not want to make amy mistakes so appreciate all help provided. I am overly cautious so asking for opinion even if i know the answer   few questions,   1.re tensioner, should spring be greased lightly?    2.tensioner has two washers , one pressure washer and other has recessed/ seat. I am going to put the recessed one facing tensioner where edges are cut out and pressure washer on top   3. my car has custom triger kit sold few years ago by guy who initially built the engine. I moved the crank gear and it moved in and out easy, only way to remove belt is to slide the crankshaft gear forward which I did. I have seen these being very tough to move , anything to do with my woodruff key?   it has a crank sensor shown in purple which I assume reads from the 12 teeth position mounted to the crankcase gear   4. timing belt doesn’t have arrow stating front or back just a arrow which I think is direction of rotation . Do you agree?   5.i figured out why my crankcase cover was worn as there was no washer installed over the crankcase cover before the harmonic balancer was put in place. It is missing, anyone knows the part number? It looks like this https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-crankshaft-timing-gear-rear-plate-washer-nissan-s13-ca18-a31-r32-rb20-r33-r34-c33-c34-c35-rb25?currency=USD   https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4535.382Zy2 https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4537.382dSz https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4534.382q4U  
    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
