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?

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
