Ouch. From what I remember that component of mine was about $3.5k

i suppose it goes to show everything to do with a gtr is more expensive lol. i hope im not getting ripped off though.its almost double the amount you posted.

cbf with importing though

yeh sometimes its to much hassle

all looks great but that wing, oh my f**king god

TRD wing, actually looks good if the car is modded right

evo 6s are fair cheap on jspec.....wow

yeh saw 2 for $15k landed and complied O_o cheap

there prices they have for customs fees and that cant be accurate, mine is way more than that :/ .

yours probably wasn't 685,000 FOB either

cbf with importing though

I bet in 12 weeks time from now you stilll won't have a car, even if you bought local.

good thing about importing is that you pay in stages, so initial up front cost is only like 1/3rd final cost. It's almost like a loan :P

does the customs prices vary to how much the car costs in the first place? eg. the more expensive the car the more customs tax and shit id have to pay.

scratch that question lol, of course it does. i think i need some sleep :P

Importing is good fun. What was funny is my car cost me $7200 in Japan, shipping, customs duties, compliance, rego, etc. came to more than that. It was still cheaper than buying locally at the time by at least $3-4k.

    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
