As usual, what are you on about?

The places that are selling goods, stock the common sale items.

Its simple business, obviously something you don't understand for whatever reason.

Keep stock of common items, and order in those which are not popular sellers. Especially when your dealing with parts ex-another-country.

Go down to Rampant, and they have a WALL of rims, maybe 30 sets or more to look at? As thats what they do, bring in a lot of wheels so they have common sizes etc in STOCK. They have motors in STOCK. They have other common items, you guessed it, IN STOCK.

I agree with Kyle

wtf is the point of telln me rampant stock walls of rims? you rkn some dickhead is going to walk into footlocker and ask for a toothbrush?

no shit rampant are gonna have stock of wheels because like you said, its wat they do. and even if thats wat they day, ill bet my hairy ballz if i asked them to give me volks with a +5 offset theyll tell me to wait a while.

my whole point is majority of stores will need to order parts in, because this shit isnt freely available, most of it is offshore, they aint nessesaties, and are only ordered by the minority. even with something as popular as exhausts. you walk into a exhaust shop and ask for a Blitz nur Spec exhaust for a r34 gtt. chances are they prob aint gonna have them in stock and will order. but if u just say exhaust for r34 thanks. yeh okay they might.

im just tryna help this guy out by simply saying

theres no big real reason why you gotta go into a showroom/shop to buy shit.

because chances are your still gonna have to order, pay more and wait longer and it prob cummn from the same place. online businesses are realiable enough these days to buy with confidence.

and you guys arguing about bs have properly put in this guys head that his better off at a showroom.

way to go........

I don't think YOU realise how things work. People post alot of shit on forums but I reckon you take the cake. There are plenty of places around Melbourne that stock JDM parts.

and i just wanna bring this up again.

kyle man the guy obviously thinks that buying over the net is unsafe, and must involve credit card details.

im simply lettn the guy know times have changed. you can safely buy online from trusted people, get great deals and walk away happy. thats what this site is all about. helping one another with infomation.

i still rkn ur a bit of a anus licker for trying to make it sound like there are shops out there that are "one stop shop" with everything in stock. it just dosnt happen buddy sorry.

if anyone agrees that jack is better off buying from a retail store raise your hand. because i honestly think his chances are better here on SAU's trading section.

f*k me ash you should be paying me and not those f*kn ads u got everywhere on this site now lol.

thats it from me, im off to bed. gotta beat off to this blonde i met at the movies.

well most people arnt running wheels with +5 offset on street cars are they?

obvisiouly shit like that is your choice and off course its gona needed to be ordered

most of the wheels will be a offset suited to cars to just chuck on, unless the have a negative offset mega dish for widebodies

they arnt gona have it in stock because they know most people wont want them so in turn if they did they would lose money

Banned.

Thanks guys, I knew about access auto from here and i googled n found a couple online shops. I found a few showroom/shops/retailers but they're in eastern suburbs... maybe i'll just have to take a drive down n check them all out in one go. My auto barn has some JDM parts but it's a pretty small autobarn i think...

anyway thanks again guys :blink:

haha nice Blitz

Greenline and Nengun usually don't have what you want in stock either, they order it direct from the manufacturer and then send it to Aus

If you know exactly what you want and don't need it in a hurry some $$ can be saved by ordering from Japan... but nothing beats actually being able to see/touch the parts in question so I agree it's a good way to go

There are also a number of online shops that are sponsors of this site, I have used a few of them and have been very happy

Just whatever you do stay away from the yum cha brands at Autobarn and the like... best advice is to buy quality parts even if you have to spend a little more and be wary of 2nd hand items... even rims... I have gotten rims that look straight but once you take them up to 100km/h its shaking like an ice feind after a week long bender

good luck:)

Again, i think i big part of Jack wanting to visit a showroom is to be able to speak to people about his parts in person, rather than have to rely on emails especially if he's unsure about what he's looking for or just wants some ideas...

different if you know EXACTLY what you need...then u can go ahead and order something as big as a whole turbo kit online and not have to worry about what is coming for you in the mail and hope that it actually suits your application...damn, i know i'd be stressing out forking out 3500 grand and hoping ur parts arrive...having said that...it IS generally pretty safe to trade thru online businesses, especially those who advertise here on SAU.

Hi tim, do you have the address for Rampant Performance , i work in Ringwood.wouldnt mind checking it out myself

David

Hi David,

I think someone already posted the address, but it's 15/100 New Street, Ringwood VIC 3134. It's down the road where ringwood mazda used to be. Might be open a bit more limited hours while Aaron's away, but still plenty of good stuff to dig through!

Tim

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
