The Dan Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Sorry I thought you were joking. No I think he is just using silly terminology. It's an import, that is all. Have you tried Autobarn? Not sure where you are from but if you tell me what country and state you are in we might be able to point you in the right direction. As for parts availability, that's nonsense too. These days there is pretty much nothing you can't get locally for them. There are that many around.

bozodos Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 haha I got a mental image of the OP going into Autobarn and saying "hay bro i needa bit for mah fulleh imported skyline". Do you need an AFM or a Pod Filter bracket, or both? Chances are you won't be able to get a new AFM through Autobarn.

ELMOHASA33 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 your mechanic dosn't have a clue if he thinks its hard to get parts for a 34. also most auto stores dont list these cars in there catalogs so insted of asking for a pod adapter for a 34 spend a little more time and messure between the bolt holes on the airflow meter and ask for some thing that fits them mesurements. im from a small country town in nsw i dont bother tryin to get parts here as they seem to be far more expensive than syd (bout 200klm away) and alot of the mechanics and auto stoes in town dont have a clue when it comes to imports im guessing your in the same boat.. if all else fails try ebay you will find heaps of good importers jap wreckers and parts. i would try the people in terrys replie above if your any where near sydney if they cant get it for you then no one can.
