Buying Performance Parts From The Source


Recommended Posts

Hi all, when im Japan next month i want to buy a few parts to bring back.

For instance:

HKS 3037 or 3040

HKS pistons

I see on Nengun that the turbos sell for about $2500.Will i make a big saving by buying it direct from HKS?

Can someone find out what price i will pay???

regards

Dave

I would say it will probably cost more to buy it from HKS as you will be charged retail. nenguns price is below japanese retail. also, I don't think you will be able to but them from HKS anyway :woot:

not many places even in japan have HKS turbos etc just sitting around. it will be a bit hit and miss, but sure give it a go. I used to love buying parts in japan. now I just order and ship them as carrying stuff is a bitch.

Feel free to plug me any time Richard :D

I can often undercut nenguns prices and also am able to set up a system so you wont cop import tax.

not to mention my response speed is several light years ahead of nengun. :)

Im listening ;)

Well unlike nengun I can buy the part and send it to you in japan while you are here? that will lower international shipping costs... will be a pain lugging around a turbo though. anyway if you dont have my email its [email protected]

mail me if you want to hook something up.

yeah sorry :P I never really thought of you in the new parts light. :D but yes everything jesse says is true. he has good service, knows what he's talking about and has always been good to deal with. so i wouldn't hesitate to recommend using him to buy parts for you. :)

I should also add that he is insanely good looking. has had me question my sexuality once or twice. so definitely buy your gear from jesse over nengun "machimasu o-kudasai" performance.

Hehe, didn't think he swings that way... hehe

Yeah, Streeter rules... I heard he beat Chuck Norris in a fight

hks is super gay to deal with!

me and jesse were tring to get a gasket off them and it just went around in circle,

then rezz try to help me and hks sent us the wrong gasket 2 times and in the end said their was no gasket for my turbo LOL!

bad hks!

I have managed to get my hands on a Garrett GT3076,XTR topmount manifold from GCG and turbosmart external gate for a bargain price.

So i wont be going the HKS 3037 route,$2500 for a turbo was a little rich for my blood.

Im sure ill make the numbers with this setup though.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
