and im coming up with this idea,

why bother.. they will have the same stuff... and even if they had some special -tools/equipment the group you will trying to sell to (Japanese/Asian Resturants) if there Japanese, I'm telling you now they WONT buy second hand.

Don't waste your time

were actually more interested iun bringing over their rational combi ovens and hoshizaki upright chillers as 1) combis are exxy as f**k here and pretty cheap there

and 2) hoshi's are rare in australia

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 !!

i guess the next issue is whats customs view for importing used food equipment?

i did my homework

it has to be clean as fark, like, the clean we belt out when were selling out items

elrodeo, you have a pm

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
