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.

when i got the evo it worked out cheaper to buy it here

but i squeezed the people outa $4k straight off lol

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
