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.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
