the biggest issue is 90% of suppliers in Australia already bring in chinese, thai and so on made products.

On a recent fitout i completed i sent back 4 display units as they were rusted out.

With more and more retailers only going for the cheapest prices you'll be hard pressed to develop a market of second hand products when cheaper new products are in high demand. Ive built that many restaurants and cafes that will only use low budget products as they simply do not have enough capital to build their new shop. of course this provides more headaches then they're worth but unfortunately all they see is the bottom dollar...

You're correct about Australia being very overpriced for commercial kitchen products. we have found clients will often approach companies directly to try save costs. they will surf the net contact overseas companies and much more to avoid using local suppliers.

your exactly right but alot of our customers avoid chinese equipment like the plague, i even had a man pay $500 more for a secondhand kitchen prep bar than a brand new chinese prep bar

we do import chinese models but all are fitted with danfoss motors and we also spend a bit extra and make sure its good quality stainless steel.

so i did do a bit of research and am definatly looking forward to bringing some stuff over from japan. maybe i can sneak in a GTR without the boss noticing :whistling:

Mate I know a few guys in Japan that can do it but anything in the 2nd hand ndustrial kitchen equipment market in Japan will be well used but you will pick up gear in good condition.

Flick me a pm and I'll fill you in as you may or may not want to go this channel !!

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
