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

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
