tbf I kind of understand the second half, if the shocks are fked you kind of cant know until you make sure they operate as expected (i.e the adjustable dampening won't adjust)

I can understand him wanting to turn his caveat emptor risk into mine - once he's done his home garage swap and given them his speed bump test or cleared his ride height defect before inevitably returning them to me. So I inherit his risk, a lot of time wasting and no sale.

Condition should be a decent giveaway by looking at them to ascertain mileage or treatment and chances of them functioning as they should. But there's a reason second hand gear sells for half of new - I wouldnt buy shocks with any other assumption than the possibility of needing a revalve and factoring that into cost. Same with second hand fuel injectors and cleaning/replacing o rings, filters etc.

Can you imagine if he had any car with no local coilovers available? Buying 2nd hand coilovers from Japan is less than a coin flip chance... A lot of importers won't even bother because so many are shagged or the collars are seized.

I might give FB groups a go

Last time I did that through Leesh's account and the first two buyers were "Send me your address" and the atypical "Do you still have this?" followed by no response. I assume the latter is people scoping out their options and then choosing one other than yours.

Selling stuff is a pita. That's why I still have a ported 4g63 head with 1mm oversize valves/Springs/ti retainers sitting in the cupboard and a high flow evo turbo.

So much can't be arsed.

Selling once, selling twice.... SOLD!

It's here again

You've aged, welcome to the dark side..

Insert that quote about being conservative at age 20 and having no heart, or liberal at age 40 and having no brain.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
    • FYI: Racebox RE7R Custom Tunes Released!   https://goracebox.com/.../2017-infiniti-q50-q60-re7r-tcm...   FOR GEN 2 (21+) VEHICLES, PLEASE SEE NOTE AT BOTTOM See more   But whomever tuned your car is the tuner you should go back to, AMS, Sonictune or BT Tune....
