Exp of Interest: Going to Japan, get your orders in ...


Recommended Posts

Hey Guys n Gals,

Hopefully at the end of this month I'll be embarking on a trip to Japan for a week or two. Whilst overseas I'm more than happy to purchase a selection of performance goods for people as long as they're small and light in weight.

I was thinking PowerFC's & SAFC's (brand new any model) & Injectors, but if anyone else has ideas please let me know.

This trip will be at the start of November so I need to get an idea quickly of the sort of enthusiasm out there.

Of course, once it's established what people want I'll be speaking with my contact that I'll be staying with in Japan to work out the cost of the items is so that pre-orders can be made (I'm not made of $$$ !) .....

Please register your interest here and what you'd be thinking about. Remeber, try and keep it sensible ...

This must be arranged before the end of October so please be quick with your reponse.

To anyone doubting my sincerity or motives, I've been here since the start of SAU and I'm not likely to run to Mexico with your cash. If you have any doubts please feel free to ask around the forum , many have met me, many know where I live and I doubt I'd get far :P

Any other questions please ask away.

Cheers,

James.

G'day James,

How ya going?

I can just see it now, you boarding the flight back with a suitcase full of PFC's :) And you saying to the custom's guys 'their all for personal use sir ! ' :)

But seriously, would be interesting what sort of price you could get a Power FC Pro for (for a R33 GTS-t).

Cheers

Just wanted to gauge interest. I will more than likely limit the goods based on a first come first serve basis.

I will be travelling with friends to "spread the load" so to speak ... as far as I'm aware however with boxes flattened neatly in the suitcase backing ... I purchased them second hand for friends as presents .. at most they were $200 each :) and this would be assuming that they even bother to check the suitcase.

3 PFC's in a laptop bag with a laptop could fool me as harddrives ... get my drift :)

I am keen for some 550cc injectors, top feed (for a GTI-R SR20 - not the same as 'normal side feed' SR20's).

Let me know how much.

Thanks,

Richard

Just to keep track I'll be postg interest shown in the first post ..

Prices will be confirmed and posted shortly, good to see the interest so far .. keep it coming.

As mentioned previously I will be travelling with mates which means that we can easily get around 4 PFC's through each ... so will limit PFC's to around 12-15 total, injectors unsure.

Muz, sorry mate, restricting the purchase to high price items that we can get considerable discount on. I wont have time to run around grabbing nick-nacks.

I'll put you down for interest on a PFC+HC for an R34 GTT yeh ?

Hey James, Hows it going? Havent been on much since the OCAU dyno day. Im also interested in a PowerFC + HC if you think you would have room left for one more. R33 GTST.

Also you selling your intercooler yet?? hehe

My car has been off the road for about a month now as it had a brief romance with a guard rail down the coast. Panel beaters sure are busy around these parts :)

Sewid : Mate, long time no see !! Sorry to hear about the car and hope it's not too costly. I'll pop you down for goodies mate, as I said, I'll be going with 2 other guys so the more the merrier.

As for the intercooler, not as yet, and the sideskirts are still holding up despite the hole in one :)

Muz : done and done.

Thanks. I wonder what the price is going to be, obviously you wont know until you're in Japan.

My car shouldnt cost too much to fix. I have source all the parts off the forums already. Love these forums for parts. Just got to get the f'ing panel beaters to get around to doing my car.

Anyway ttyl

Hey there,

Wow, so nice of you to offer your help for fellow skyliners. Thank you for your help.

All I want is a turbo timer. Now I know I'm in Melb, but I'm kinda strapped for cash right now, so if it ends up to be cheaper, I'll still would appreciate your assitance. The one I want,

Blitz Dual/FATT DC Turbo timer

OoOo, so nice ricey illumination white face, dash thingi like http://nismo.com.au/pricelists/r33gauge_.jpg would be cool too. You know the one that fits a GTST. Hmm, maybe asking a bit much there.

Still Jimbo, tell me if thats possible.

Thanks!

    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
