Nippon 2015

Just came back from japan the other day, stuf isn't that cheap over there. Looked at some 20" Work wheels, would have cost round $2900-$3000 plus the cost of shipping. Got a price from the aussie distributor and it was $3250 delivered to my door. Just something to think about.

Back from the land of the rising sun..amazing trip - would recommend it to anyone.

Ended up sourcing the 19" OEM Rays wheels domestically before i left however I did find a set of used Nismo S-tune Suspension for V35 on a yahoo.jp auction. Picked it up for Y42500 which is the equivalent to about $450AUD. I thought it was a great find. Fitted it yesterday and noticed the difference! Photo attached below - theres about 15-20mm drop from estimate without measuring.

Visited Super Autobacs in Tokyo Bay only to find that they only really stock performance parts for BRZ/86gt however most other parts could be ordered in. Basically a supercheap auto or an autobahn with a performance section and a variety of brand named wheels.

For used parts the numerous Up Garages stocked loads of V series parts so very worthwhile visiting/browing their online stock these guys have a reputation of dealing only with local buyers so would recommend visting if you are over there.

    • Howdy all, A mate of mine picked up an R32 GTS-T recently and it had a very... colourful... gear knob that needed to be replaced immediately 🤣 I put together a replacement which is reminiscent of the Nismo offering, which I also really like both the feeling and design. I basically took what they did and optimising for 3D printing, with the exception of the top chamfer, where I prefer a filleted design, despite it not printing quite as clean. If anybody needs another thread size for the locker or if you prefer a top chamfer similar to the Nismo one, I'm happy to put something together for you and as a side note, I was really impressed by the TPU lock nuts. Originally I was going to use steel and then found out the ones I had on hand were sadly M10 1.5 pitch, rather than the required M10 1.25 pitch, so I had to get a bit creative rather than wait for the bolt shop to open. In the picture it looks a little bit 'rough' at the top due to the layering printing on a curve, but in reality it's not very noticeable at all and honestly feels pretty good in the hand. https://www.printables.com/model/910138-nissan-skyline-r32-gear-knob Regards, Sean
    • Which can be translated into English as "waste of time"/"good"/"too big"/"stupid".
    • R32 fuel gauge definitely stays at the current reading when turned off. It will not show a new reading (ie if it was low and you just filled up) until it is turned on, at which point it should sweep from empty to full in only a few seconds.
    • Guys , just picked up 400R today , still getting used to setup ,I might be looking at maybe getting a exhaust upgrade in the next 6 months , any advise for a shop in Sydney?
    • Msg away 😆 obviously I didnt get specific details about what you wanted etc but know the Emtrons can do most of the same as M150 and little cheaper Otherwise M150 yeah does absolutely everything but you do pay extra to add on this and update that ie: logging normal vs pro package etc   traction control - well helps hold my car 😄 obviously combined with other tuning factors built in blaa blaa   we work it off wheel speed sensors for Bosch ABS and have setup for various slip percentage selectable via keypad
