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.

    • So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House  
    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
