hey all :blink:

very cheap prices on ImportMonster but relible? i surly dont know.

theres better places n sites just have a look around i.e google ftw :cool:

joosteN^ :D

Wow another hater :) ...

You said that there are very cheap prices available, but you are not sure if we are reliable? We are an Australian company, with years of importing experience. If you, or anybody else has any concerns about our company, you are welcome to direct those specific questions at me, or send me your number I'll give you a call ;)

You said there are better places & sites i.e. google?

Nobody else does Yahoo purchasing like we do. There is not another site in the world that allows you to browse Yahoo in English, with all prices converted to Australian dollars, gives you the ability to watch items in real time, and bid, on the spot, around the clock. We re-display only the important auction info (such as pics and descriptions) and remove all the other non-important stuff like banner advertising, etc.

I have got an account with import monster, yet to use it but it look very well sorted.

I will have to see prices vs a few other services to make decision.

I have had recent bad experiance with my normal japanese trader who fell back on his "disclaimer" when the shit hit the fan even though I have been loyal it seems to have no stock so nor do I. The whole idea besides having access to the japanese market is having a person provide infomation to you that allows you to make an informed decision.

The problem is when the infomation is wrong YOUR THE ONE LEFT HOLDING THE CAN, OUT OF POCKET ETC ETC.....

Hense trying other service providers.

cheers

Rob

Here's a link that searches the entire site for the word 'Stagea' (get yourself a Coke / beer / whatever & get ready for several hours of browsing)

http://www.importmonster.com.au/auction?ca...%BC%A5%B8%A5%A2

Around 9,000 items over 180 pages!

Otherwise browse using the categories down the left side of this page:

http://www.importmonster.com.au/auction

Example, go into 'Interior Equipment' then 'Nissan'

Or go into 'Intake & Exhaust' then 'Nissan' then 'Muffler / System'

And search those categories (drop either of these in the search box):

Japanese text for Stagea: ステージア

Or put in: WGNC34 (or whatever model you have)

Once again if anybody needs assistance with specific searches just yell out.

so.....just a question when we bid....do we have to have money in the account first or do we just simply bid...win...then forward money into your account with a certain reference wait like a couple of weeks and recieve items :(? is that how it works :)? hahah

Chi,

We require a 50% deposit in order to bid. So if you want to bid the equivalent of $100, you would need $50 in your account to bid. We're only talking the bid amount here, not the full price including shipping & GST.

If your bid is unsuccessful, the deposit is returned to your Import Monster account instantly, so you can bid on other items, or request to get it back again (credit back to your bank account, paypal, credit card, depending on how you paid us). You only actually pay if you win an auction.

In an ideal world we'd just run the honesty policy, but unfortunately not everybody follows it. If we bid on something for you, without collecting money, and we win the auction, and you change your mind, we are stuck with the item. If we just didn't pay, it would mud-up our Japanese Yahoo rep which has follow-on effects with future purchases.

Hope that makes sense.

Okay. EMS items (sent via air) take on average 3-4 business days to arrive at your door once they are sent. Sometimes the Japanese sellers are very quick at sending the goods to us, other times they lag out a bit, it is best to assume it could be 2-3 weeks from when you win the auction.

We're offering a Yahoo purchasing service, helping you purchase from Yahoo. We (like you) don't know the condition of the item. We find that the Japanese are usually honest in their descriptions, and when selling rims for example, ensure to take pictures of any damage such as gutter rash. So you are taking on some risk purchasing this way, however you are also saving heaps too. The choice is up to you :)

I think importmonster has a far superior layout then slidewize and alot more interactive features. The biggest one being your in control of the bidding function and alot more easier to search for items then thone are in a set menu like Slidewize.

Importmonster has got big ups :rolleyes:

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
