Sounds like a similar service to SlideWize (SAU sponsor)

http://www.slidewizeimports.com/

import monster just has flashier pictures on their website but that seems to be the only major difference.

I'd prefer to go with an sau sponsor but thats just me. :D

a friend of mine owns that site.

He's been importing for quiet a few years, under his other business Rampant Imports.

(and for those playing at home, slidewise used to (not sure if they still do) rent container space off my mate to import their parts! :D )

Was doing a search on Google and this thread came up, thought I'd fill in some blanks :)

pixel8r - I can only assume you have not even signed up & checked out our site, otherwise you would see there's quite a bit of difference between our site and the other companies offering Yahoo purchasing services.

www.importmonster.com.au is not just a site advertising that we do Yahoo purchasing. The site is an entire Yahoo interface, acting as the 'middle man' between you and Yahoo. Our site translates into English, converts figures into AUD, allows you to estimate shipping & charges strips away all the non-auction related images, the additional links, the banner ads, etc.

Our site has the ability to search, have your own watch list (that is updated in real time), and you can place bids, on the spot, round the clock. You can even receive email updates the moment you win an auction, or get outbid.

The competition, get you to browse Yahoo yourself, and then send them a link manually telling them what you want. Too bad if it is 1:30am and the auction ends in 5 minutes :blush:

If you used the monster you could place your bid any time you like. :blink:

Nothing wrong with supporting the people who support you - that is an admirable trait. We have already contacted the SAU hierarchy about advertising on your forums :)

looks very interesting, but how do you calculate the fee's ontop of the item cost? (e.g broker fee's, postage etc)

As ali-turko pointed out, there is an estimator on every auction page. Note that we only make money on our commission, that's it. All freight charges are charged to you at cost. Some companies charge you a commission, then inflate all the shipping costs, and pass on the bank fees (we wear those).

(and for those playing at home, slidewise used to (not sure if they still do) rent container space off my mate to import their parts! ;) )

If the competition uses us to provide their services anyway, we can't be too bad then :yes:

Although what we & others are offering is a 'Yahoo Purchasing Service' - nobody in the world has a site like ours :) A large amount of time and money has been invested into this project, and we're all pretty proud of it. :D There are already thousands of people using the site, we only launched it 6 weeks ago!

If you haven't had a suss, check it out, if I can help anybody out with searching for something just yell out :D

    • Go to SP mufflers and get the muffler of size you want and make a nice mid muffler. It's about that simple! I have 2x 3.5 Magnaflow straight through Mufflers and while it's pretty loud with the Varex open, it's quiet enough with the Varex closed. You can also buy off the shelf Magnaflow straight through mufflers as well. You also have a turbo to quiet the car down too. Don't overthink it. Buy my extra Magnaflow muffler sitting on a shelf doing nothing (buy it new, ignore this part)
    • Centre-offset muffler under the floor, same as stock. Just....3.5". The change from straight pipe there to centre-offset will mean that you need to remake some of the pipe (add a bend or two).
    • Hey guys. So my R34 GTT has a custom 3.5” exhaust (done by previous owner) with a high flowing cat, and then just a Varex cannon muffler on the back. The car does drone alot and is really loud even on highway driving just cruising, as you can imagine due to the Varex muffler basically being a straight through with the valve open. As much as i love a loud RB, it can be a bit much with no other muffling in line and just driving casually. I wanted to lower the volume output on the exhaust a bit, as well as remove the drone (probably a way to do both at once), and was going to do it all myself as I am a fabricator and have done exhaust work in the past, so the fab work isnt my issue, im just not sure on the right product or type of product to use to get the job done, and i doubt an exhaust shop would be wanting to help me as they wont be making any money from helping me, unless they supplied the product? Anyway any help or guidance in best way to approach this would be awesome   Thanks in advance
    • Meh, whilst the Honda is a "really" good car and has potential if you want to drop coin on, it was uninspiring for me to look at, but, it did serve its purpose and is now in the boys hands, his happy, his girl is happy, as she wasn't to keen on the noisy old Patrol, and most importantly, the Minister for War and Finances is extremely happy that her "little baby boy" (6'2 nugget who is currently training to be a copper, which will make 3 coppers in the immediate "circle of trust") has a well sorted reliable car that doesn't guzzle diesel Me, I'm more than happy with the NC MX5 that I replaced it with, it's a fun little car that I like looking at, like driving, and yes..... I do like the fact that the maintenance and modifications that I have done/will do are plentiful and relatively cheap, well........ while staying naturally aspirated slow that is, and that's all I really need for a fun little daily, I can rev the 5hit out of it rowing through the gears and never really break the speed limit  In saying that wicked word, "modifications", I've already ordered something for some noise and an additional "3 ish" horse powers, or whatever it gives, in the form of a header, and, a new set of "cheapo" BC coilovers that are already sitting in the shed waiting to get put in, I had the same BC's in my old NB and found they were fine for the street, hwy, and the occasional track days I did in it, they have 6kg front and 4kg rear springs which is about 10% stiffer than the stock springs which I found worked well for their price  I've also already been in touch with MX5 Mania in Dural, so once the header is on it will get a ECUTek RaceROM tune there (I cannot rev match for 5hit, and I loved the RaceROM rev match and FFS in my old 86 "RIP") In other, maintenance news, I put some new sparkler plugs in it, and have a new set of DBA Street series pads to put in over the next day or so, I'm running the DBA street series in the SS and Honda and really like them, they work great and are not dusty at all I've also booked in a few days leave over this weekend to give me 4 days weekend do some paint correction and give the leather seats some conditioning and interior some Bissell and steam cleaning OCD lovin', the carpet and interior looks clean, but from my experience with the Bissell IRT carpet, and the steam cleaner IRT trim, looks can be deceiving I've also found that finding a detachable hard top is proving problematic, the main reason why I didn't like the NC initially was the power retractable hard top that I seen them with gave the roof line a weird look, the detachable roof though looks good, and is a same shape as a NA/NB hard top, similar, but unfortunately not the same as it has different fixture point on the front, so fitting a easy to get NA/NB detachable hard top is no bueno New Old cars are fun, cleaning, hunting and playing around brings much joy How are your beasties going? Do you still have the Skyline with the LS???, or Barra??? that you were playing with
