heyas...just a quick question on postage from japan to australia. i have never ordered anything from japan, but i am getting a few bodykit peices that i can't get in australia (not for my skyline, but my liberty) and i am just wondering if anyone out there who has purchased from japan could help me.

what is the difference in the below postage methods. I asked the guy i am dealing with in japan, but his english wasn't very good and didn't explain it very well and i don't want to keep bugging him :s i also had a quick look on google but noting substantial.

EMS:4000yen without insurance.

UPS: 8000yen without tax and insurance.

DHL: 27,900yen without tax and insurance.

that last one nearly costs more than the things i am getting lol so it better be good.

EMS is the Japanese postal service express parcel delivery. It is the premium service for sending parcels ex Japan.

UPS and DHL are just international courier companies. They are both US companies originally im sure.

You also, for small items, have the option of SAL which is the economy air mail from the Japanese postal service. It takes 3-5 times as long but is usually half the price. They only send items up to 3kg or less though.

EMS is great, and even though it's expensive it's probably the cheapest/best method of sending stuff ex-Japan.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
