What a load of shit!

How does the US dollar effect the price of cars that are already in the country?

Actually how does it effect the price of cars coming from Japan either?

If anything, a strong $AU makes things cheaper from overseas.

Back on topic :)

I felt I got a reasonable price and a pretty quick sale.

It results in pushing the current ASP's (Average selling price) down on anything imported.

Its killing the technoligy industry at the moment as grey imports are 1/2 the price of the retail stores.

Which may sound good now, but wholesalers will compensate by jacking up profit margins now and once the dollar drops again the ASP's will rise again to higher prices that before the wave started. In short its good right now, but will be bad round xmas time when most people spend a packet. My advice shop for xmas now...

IE. 50" High def plazma from Sony (Bravia X series) in China $2200AUD, in Australia $4800AUD (quoting cheapest prices seen).

Even if you pay through the teeth on shipping its still going to be a grand less than is sells for in Australia.

Thats the problem with a astong dollar... :)

Stronger $AU means cheaper importation which means cheaper prices on resale from both the However, the primary problem with import resale is basic supply and demand.

Its always about supply and demand, everything in this world is about supply and demand... :)

yeah,I suppose that makes sense,

sorry COL!!!

You better be, no one understands world economic pressures on the depressed seal cubs in antartica like me :)

Yeah it was suprisingly quick.

I thought that thing would be harder to shake than herpes.

Talk to COL-GTSX he's looking to sell and it is an immaculate car.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
