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

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
