INASNT, how much cheaper are the parts off greenline/nengun? i mean i look at the prices on their site and they seem too cheap to be true, granted there is still import tax, gst and freight, but when its delivered to your door, is there still that much of a saving? especially on the big items like coolers, exhausts, turbos etc.

Prices aint 2 cheap 2 be true, its just that the prices are marked up a shitload if you go to buy em in a shop here.

If you get a bunch of stuff send together then you save alot on freight. I have never had to pay gst or import tax on any of the stuff i have got in luckly so yes i made a big saving.

so its all luck if you do/dont get hit by customs, ive spoken to a few people who regulary import stuff, not just car parts but clothes, shoes, perfumes etc and they also say theyve never been held at customs. the parts i want are mostly hks, apexi and trust so i should expect a delay

Yeah you have to be unlucky to get hit. Things like multiple packages to the same address or continued delivery over a long period will atract attention but for buyers liek you and I it's normally fine. I had all the same worries when I started buying but you will find they are pretty smart and mark it "gift" anyhoo.

In my experience you will almost always have delays with parts from Japan. If it wern't for the price I wouldn't bother. Sooooo much easier to buy local but can't complain with $100+ savings

    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
    • Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.
    • Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?
