Is it possible for him to act as an intermediary for online japanese auctions like yahoo or sumfin? coz I found some parts for my car on there, but can't get em over here,coz a) my japanese sucks, and B) they won't trade with international buys, can he go in as a middle man?

he can do that yes thats where he gets most of his parts from and thats where have sourced parts from him before.. just cut and paste the yahoo page so he knows what it is.. just beware that occasionally the person advertising a product might not have stock and you might need to be patient.. but got some dump pipes and other bits and pieces and they were fine, also an electronic boost gauge at a good price. he charges I think 10% on top for providing the service.

It`s more than 10% It depends on what it is. If it is really expensive than you pay about 10% But if you purchase a blow of valve for lets say $50 AUS then I charge 25% on it $12.50 AUS

OK 2 things i've imported from japan... just tell me how much you'd charge for these, both bought from yahoo auctions:

Wheel caps got em for 200 yen, by the time I got em the total charge was about $65 (rediculous)

Strawberry face kit for my 180sx bought for 220,000 yen, by the time it got here it was $4500 (reasonable since I was asked $7000 for the kit in australia)

How much would you have charged me for them (all prices in yen are purchase price in Japan, and the ones in $AU are with delivery to my door). Using those examples could you give me a breakdown of what your charges for those items would be?

PS email me if you don't wanna reply in public.

Thanks

You see folks...There are other people in Japan with access to performance parts.......If you would rather deal with people in Australia and over pay for your parts...then thats fine.  

So if you would like to get anything out in the open about anyone or anything.....feel free to do it here....get it over and done with so we can move onto better things.

If you don't mind, I'm trying to establish WHY I should make a purchase through him instead of someone else, or someone local.

How would you know a guy's ripping you off on a can of coke if you've never bought a can of coke before in your life.

These two items happen to be things that I've searched for, bargained, hunted and finally purchased. By getting his quotes on em I can compare his pices, charges, and service procedures to the ones I've already used.

If you have a problem with it, report it to a moderator, don't whinge. I don't see your post proving to me why I should purchase from nengun (which if you may recall is the original reason for the thread: why don't people like purchasing from nengun; well I want to find out why I should). We all have reasons for asking what we do.

Just got the costs involved if nengun had gotten me those items, and I reckon its a fair deal he's offering, so I think I might be tryin his services next time.

It converts this:

to this:

Its basically a kit that consists of a pair of S15 silvia lights, front guards and a bonnet, all of which convert the front of a 180sx to the new 200sx :D I think there's about 11 in australia maybe less.

      Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out

      Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.

      Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
