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.

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
