next month i'll be going to Indonesia for a few weeks, where $300 Aus allows you to live like Donald Trump for 2 weeks.

they have Cefiros there, and from what i've been told car parts will be a good price, so i'm looking at bringing some parts back with me, and possibly creating a few contacts for future importing. atm i'm only looking at genuine parts like headlights, taillights, panels, etc. However, i will check out if there is any bodykits available, what sort of prices if there is & the quality.

at the moment i have to check out how much i'm allowed to bring back as a private purchase, otherwise i'll look into getting an ABN and setting up a business name if it's not too expensive, and bringing them back like that. also have to look into tax, freight and other associated costs.

remember, this is hypothetical and may not materialize for a number of reasons. i'm keen to make this happen so have been talking with a few businesses about bringing the parts in through them.

now, if this can be done, who would be interested in a few parts?

yeah if this all pans out, vents are number 1 on the list, i need some just like everybody else. i'll try to find out a few things this week and give everybody an idea as to what's going on. it's still about a month til i go over there, so there's plenty of time for me to sus things out.

just keep in mind that indonesia got really shitty spec A31's (ones that even japan didn't get)... so things like interior trim and panels are still the same, but don't expect to get engines and RB20DET model spec mechanicals.

That said... I'm sure they have cheap fibreglass bodykits available there so look into them... and also indonesia being oceania's rice (chrome n LED) capital, I'm sure there's plenty of ceffy specific rice too.

Your easiest wa of getting stuff down is to fill a partial container with the stuff you buy... I don't think you'll have enough to pack a full container.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
