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

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
