hi

i have a guy in the middle east which he have a garage and told me that he have lots of skyline parts and mods

i know the guy cuz im from the same country

he told me that he wants to ship the parts and mods to australia as they are very cheap over there which is back in my country

they are cheap because we used to have lots of skylines and other imports which are RHD and getting them from japan and converting the dash to LHD by cutting or by using maxima or blubird dash

before four years the government stoped regestering the imported cars because of the accidents and unsafe cars

so what happened is that lots of car dealers had imported hundreds of skylines and supras and others but didnt know what to do with them

so they are for sale for very cheap prices

the guy which i know told me as im in australia he told me he would part some skylines and ship them to australia if some people are interested

the thing is what are the parts that people look for mostly

till now one garage gave me a list of what he's looking for and he wants to import a container full of parts as turbos and other mods

would like a help so i could know what are the most wanted parts

excuse me for my english as it is my secound language

If they're used parts contact NISSWRECK and see if container loads of whatever can be shipped out here for as little duty as possible.

The people at NISSWRECK can tell you which parts are worthwhile to ship in a shrinking spare parts market.

If they're new parts, and if they're still not being manufactured, contact TOY SHOP, JUST JAP and other advertisers in Performance Imports magazine to see if they're interested.

The process will take time however, because these firms aren't going to just take anything.

Have you thought of doing it yourself?

the guy told me he can get new parts and used parts

Have you thought of doing it yourself? no , cuz its a bit hard for me to deal with these things by my self as i dont have the time to import and sell and i have one year still in australia and then ill go back to my home country

but iv done this favoure to the garage which is back there cuz i used to modify my cars in his garage and he was very friendly

sounds like the stolen cars are returning home in pieces.

didnt understand what do you mean with stolen cars ??

the cars that are in the garage in the UAE are not stolen as they have papers on the cars and some have number plates

its just that the government have stopped regestering the imports as skylines and supras .... ect

and there is no need for these cars to be in the shed without using them so most of the cars are sold for cheap

the guy which i know he is buying them and selling them as a whole car or can strip them and sell the parts

and plus he have new mods as garette turbos and hks and others which are cheap because of the 0% tax

    • You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
    • OK, so a bunch of trim needs to come off to get to the rear shock top mounts. Once the seat is out of the way, the plastic trim needs to come off. Remove 2 clips at the top then slide the trim towards the centre of the car to clear the lower clip Next you need to be able to lift the parcel shelf, which means you need to remove the mid dark trim around the door, and then the upper light trim above the parcel shelf. The mid trim has a clip in the middle to remove first, then lift the lowest trim off the top of the mid trim (unclips). At the top there is a hidden clip on the inner side to release first by pulling inwards, then the main clip releases by pulling the top towards the front of the car. The door seal comes off with the trim, just put them aside. The the lighter upper trim, this is easy to break to top clips so take it carefully. There is a hidden clip towards the bottom and another in the middle to release first by pulling inwards. Once they are out, there are 3 clips along the rear windscreen side of the panel that are hard to get under. This is what the rear of the panel looks like to assist:
    • Yes. Autos typically work from the speed sensor on the pinion shaft of the diff. I also think that even if you have a proper speed sensor for the bog manual in the manual box, that the signal it outputs is not compatible with the auto dash anyway. You should consult that manual (the book, not the gearbox).
    • And I just realised that that advice is slightly nonsensical for a GTR, because you need 2 of them. But it is otherwise true.
    • Having had a reasonable look at the car, I'll be able to remove the (one time) rams and retract the hinge (they are held in the down location by a tiny (m3?) sacrificial screw) which will get it physically back in shape. From there if you remove the rams you need a resistor to turn off the airbag light (as Mark said, there are plug in kits and I might go that way because its reversible). And...per all the threads on here, even if you have the resistors to turn off the airbag light, the bonnet light will stay on as it writes to the airbag computer history - that is either replace the airbag controller, reprogam the EPROM (if I can work out how), or remove the globe from the dash. Having seen how sensitive this system is, if I had my time over I'd pre-emptively remove the rams, even on a road car, because this is all a very unnecessary pain in the arse. Reminds me, time to go and have a look at the Fuga too....
