Nengun is good.

I have bought $3000 worth of stuff over the last 2 months, no problem. I paid directly into his account both times.

He helped me out on the first shipment with customs, paid no duty. The second, I got hit for $100 import duty, but that's life. Mind you it was a very large box with some expensive gear. My only gripe is that the emails can be a little short and infrequent. Last shipment just arrived with just a customs notice - had no idea when it was going to show up. He must be a very busy guy.

TakaKaira is another mob I am pleased to deal with, but are somewhat more expensive, but have excellent range of brand and product.

Good luck.

hey Torrens, would something like a front mount kit be racking up some import duty cos of its size? thinking of getting one from Nengun...

Well, that's the one I got slugged for. It had an EBC in the box as well, so it's hard to tell what made it get import duty.

Still, I got the Trust IC + piping kit for under 97000 yen (around $1230 AUD), so adding $90 isn't such a bad deal anyway - still cheaper than just about anything made locally.

My theory is that if you send the goods to major center, it gets checked more thouroughly - both parcels that have been looked at by customs entered via Brisbane CBD. Another parcel went straight through when it went to a residential address. Just theories...

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
