Possibility Of Cheap Parts

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.

^^ true, however i believe my opening post serves as a disclaimer that this is in no way finalised, purely theoretical at present.

    • You could try some less aggressive pads on the rear. I found (a long time ago when all my brakes were stock 32) that using the same (Bendix Ultimate) pads at both ends made the rear bias excessive. I strongly suspect that the stock Nissan pads probably use a different material, but aftermarket pads will usually be the same material regardless of what pad they are put onto. That bias situation did get better when I put R33 calipers on the front AND used the same pads - just transferred them from old to new calipers. So you should feel the difference with the change you're making. But certainly do not forget the option to change the rear pads down a grade or two.
    • Ha ha, sorry dose, I wasn't meaning to argue the point on "it'll do f**k all". I was only shining a bit of a light in the flawed logic you used with it mate.   I 100% agree that there is zero point changing stock manifold with a stock turbo, unless the manifold is f**ked. And only reason I'd ponder aftermarket manifold on a stock turbo would be that I'm too scared too look at the potential ludicrous prices people are asking for a stock manifold! Ha ha ha
    • Shhh... Muricans don't understand the idea of metric so can't find half the stuff we have for modifying JDM cars 😛
    • That may or may not be me that replied 😅
    • Your response is extremely similar to what someone on the Haltech tuning tips Facebook page answered me. I take it you're also on there haha. Dyno is booked for June 27th and that's exactly what I'll be doing. I also realized I never setup a pulse width adder table so I went and did that last night. Made a fair bit of fueling difference in low load areas.  I sorted out my power steering belt woes. It was an alignment issue and it has now survived multiple instances of abuse that would have killed it prior. I also changed my fuel pump hose. The hose I replaced looks nothing like the legit gates hose I received. Real hose is actually 5/16" and is labelled properly. Amazon refunded me but has been giving me grief about my nasty review I'm trying to leave... I keep having to modify it for acceptance. I want to make sure the point gets across to others.  Last issue I want to deal with soon is the slight vibration I get in my steering wheel with my GKTech Spacers in front. My annoyance has grown and I'm at a point where I want it resolved. I've tried everything I can come up with like clean spacers thoroughly, tighten in star pattern, retorque, have wheels rebalanced 4-5x with a variety of machines (2x with a Hunter elite). I've also taken the spacers off and remounted multiple times just in case.  I'm starting to think my GKtech spacers are at fault. I'll pop a wheel off and toss a dial indicator on tomorrow to verify runout and parallelism.
