Hi guys,

i want to import a kit from the U.S, well just the rear bumper and front. Was wondering has anyone else imported from any of the vendors in the U.S, and if there was any problems . Im thinkin of getting the chargespeed rear(replica), its gonna cost bout $600 USD shipped to my door. It jus seems too good to b true as i thod it would cost much more. Im just worried bout the item being damaged in transit, especially being fibreglass.

Thanks

Steve

sounds pretty cheap... Any aftermarket bodykits you buy are a risk as far as fit and finish are concerned. If it's a knock-off of another kit, I would be doubly careful: perhaps post on www.g35driver.com and see if anyone else has used the same brand of bodykit, and what the quality was like?

Alternatively, you are aware that ChargeSpeed have a distributor in Victoria? Not too sure what the pricing is like, though....

Aternatively, you could just sell your car and buy mine: it's all genuine parts :)

As far as fitment is concerned, its bout a 95% fit. This guy is a major sponsor, so reputation means everything. Everyone always compliments the fitment of the kits especially the chargespeed rear. I was jus worried bout it being damaged in transit.

If u were selling ur charespeed rear i would buy str8 away. :) I got a quote from the distributor in Victoria and it came to bout $1400. I no thats genuine but id rather a replica if the fitment was spot on. Well iv ordered an inven front, it shud arrive any day from the U.S will post wen its here.

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      By thatjawncrazy · Posted

      GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.

      Blue slip

      By Stringycheese · Posted

      Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?

      Should have asked what is the car?

      Blue slip

      By PranK · Posted

      I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
