Sourcing Cheap Parts

[myr332]

So looks to me like one of my turbo's blew up today... at least it looks so far to be on the exhaust side, as the engine is running fairly smoothly. Here's hoping at least!

Anyway, I'm looking of obtaining 2 x HKS GT2530's for a R34 GTR and some other parts as a small upgrade I was wondering whether anyone has any contacts of importers who typically get good prices and pass on the savings to their customers? Also, if you have any experience with Japanese websites (greenline for example), perhaps you could link me up with some places to start looking at sourcing parts from?

I've checked the "For Sale" section in SAU and found someone selling 1 of the above turbo's, and I swear it was sold in under a minute.

At this stage I'm just shopping around to see what sort of cost I will be up for, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Haha sorry yeah I managed to get that one, I'm pretty sure its outlet is different to the ones required for GTR's anyway but if you want to offer me a higher price than he was asking then go for it.

Have a look at CRD and Sliding Trader forums. They sell bolt on kits with these for just over $3000 I think.
