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

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
