I am new to Brisbane and wanting to know where is good places to buy parts for my skyline. Preferably somewhere on the northside.

Right now I am specificly looking for a top radiator hose. My local Supercheap was of no use. But I want other things too like genuine skyline floormats. Went to one import wrecker and all they had was engines/gearboxes, not the little things.

Went to a place that does compliancing. The workshop and yard was nose to tail import cars, looked like the pictures you see of the Jap auctions. They did not have any wrecked skylines. But an awsome supra and evo6 parked out front.

i was talking to someone the other day and mentioned tokyo toys cos nismo bitch never shuts up about them.

They were telling me they were super dodgy or something.. but for the life of me I cant remember who it was...

In the same conversation, I think they reffered me to sub zero.. so that could explain it.

will check out tokyo toys, see what they got.

went into a shop today, Drift King Motorsport (i think it is called something else, but they have a big sign with this on it) in aspley, cause they had a heep of nice looking rims in the window. They sounded very helpful, and am likely to get my gearbox fixed there.

See MR-GTR (Steve). When he's not overseas picking up cars and parts, he's on the GC - I'm getting my next car through him in a year or two.

Go to www.mr-gtr.com - the site is still being put together but it has his contact details on it.

NIZ30 It's Team Drift King Motorsport at Aspley which is part of Superior Tyres. I've got a few things done through them and know the owner pretty well, you shouldn't have any problems with him..

I take it you drive a white R32, I may have seen you before.. I drive a grey R32 around northside.. number plates 002 NVS..

What's wrong with your gearbox..?

Hey,

I spoke to a guy from Cresta and he was really helpful, althoug overpriced and he gave me a list of people to try..

A few on the coast, melbourne, sydney..

Maybe try asking for something else that u know they don't have n ask if he can give u the numbers of some other places.???

Ok its all good....

A good mate of mine has a source and is doing my complete conversion for me at a really good price....

Cannot say until job is complete though...

As i dont want to be half way through the job and

the price to be pushed up due to demand...

I has happened to me before...

IE. I made contacts with Asian Auto Spares and they said that

I cant get an R32 front cut for $1600 as they had a few and we

wanting to get rid of a couple... So i made a post and by the time

I went down to buy mine three had allready sold and they would

not do the 1600 price for me... Then i had many angry people

wanting to know why i said they could get one for 1600...

See what i mean...

Guest nismogtsx

Well i will say why i dont like them but i cant speak for everyone..

I went to the Auto-salon in Brisbane... Ok they had a stand...

I waited and waited to speak with one of their guys about some customized stuff... The guy behind the counter was a lebo and the guy he was talking too was a lebo (im not racist btw) but anyway... They were not talking about cars at all. They went on and on about some shit and finally when i got to ask my question he walked away and said come back in 5 minutes i need a drink... So i waited and when he came back he fart assed around before coming over to the counter... Then once he approched the counter he sopke and i said i need a price of this and this, roughly, and he replyed " Im not talking to you " and i looked over my sholder and there was another lebo behind me... And all he was interested in was serving his own kind... Thats so f!@#ing rude and i wanted to pull him over the counter and start war... Instead i started yelling and swearing and i got excorted to the side by security and that was it.. I cooled down and forgot about it... I refuse to call them, I will never go there, they make me want to sell my car and buy a Datto 120y....

I will never recomend them to anyone cause he was the one who was racist and didnt want my money... Their too busy looking after their own kind and their own shitty cars...

If i had 50g's to spend on an R33, im sure i could pull sub 10 seconds easy....

My mates cordia runs 12.1's and he has spent less than 7 grand... Total and thats including the car... LOL

Guest nismogtsx

I would have but security took me aside and the security was an Aussie just doing his job and he was surposed to kick me out.. But instead he let me explain and his works were " f#@king lebo's" and i just laughed. He told me to steer clear of the stand and so I did and found a better performance shop in the meen time anyway... Thats local too....

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
