I stopped buying from Japan ages ago. The parts are one thing, its like heaven. I would sit night after night going through Yahoo Japan like a kid in a lolly shop.

Then I got the credit card statement and almost had a heart attack!

Its true you get what you pay for, but bloody hell, you pay through the nose ordering from Japan.

My days buying awesome Japanese parts are over. Unless financially I hit the jackpot, and then if I did, I'd rather go there myself and fill a container :P

i have one of these wind guard for sunroof at home it come of my s2 prime ed,( the first part i pulled off it, 10 mins after picking it up) the clips are long gone but the guard is in good condition

How quick, Duncan? I ordered some clear blinkers (front and side), and was informed they were shipped on Wednesday.

I'm so so so so so so tempted to buy those LED rears (like in the first post), but I think they're for s2 and I'm not sure I could be bothered stuffing around to swap the wiring. to suit my s1. Yes, I am lazy. No, I've never denied it!

I just bought some bits thru import monster for the first time, very quick turn around.

Never mind, Duncan, I got mine today!

Got a set of clear sides and the LED fronts too...

sorry mate didn't see your post....the stuff was here within 7 days of the auction finishing. better than many local ebayers can manage.

yes it was pricey but it was literally they only one I have seen for sale anywhere

Niiice!

yeha,

I think we need to befriend some japs who work at nismo and impul. or nissan wrecker yards :worship:

Maybe we should have dedicated yearly visits with half a dozen forum members representing the different car types .. all armed with 5 empty containers each. and they arent allowed to return until everyones orders are complete. *hands over the 20 page checklist of everyones required parts*

group buys ftw.. everyone chucks in $100 for plane tickets and empty containers hehe

    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
    • I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:   
    • Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
