Mods are panel work?

SOme of us on the forums when looking for mods order direct from Japan.. I have saved Hundreds!

As far as panel parts i was watching racescar a while back and they went to a place called Japwreck in Beckenham.... haven't been there myself but looked pretty sweet when they did the filiming....half cuts engine heaps of stuff.... anybody had experiences with these guys?

Everytime I went to JapWreck to ask for parts they looked at me kinda funny when I said R33 and told me to look elsewhere.

That was a year or so ago but since then they have had a bit of an ad on racescar claiming they now do Jap import bits... So who knows nowadays.

They do have good service so give em a call before you go to find out.

Your best bet is to look on Parts Locator on the web or ask for the mag at a big newsagents. All parts listed including jap imports... Saved me and fellow mates a bundle.

Ahh Yes good call GTRKen

AGI in Bayswater where very good when i went to them. I lost (I'm not going into details how :-) ) my passnger floor mat sometime ago, i was getting desperate and a sydney company wanted $140 for 1 !!!!! how ridiculous!!!!

So i looked around for ages! When i went there i described what i wanted. There was a young guy and an old guy the young guy said "Nah we don't have em, see ya later" then the old guy got off his ar*se and said hang on a minute... 5 minutes later comes back out and he found one for me! i asked how much and he said $15 i then said out aloud " BECAUSE YOU GOT OFF YOUR ARSE HERE IS AN EXTRA $10 for lunch!" The young guy just stared at me!

So yeah if ya do go there and there are 2 guys as i described deal with the older one as he was great to me....

Always good to see the looks on peoples face when they haven't gotten off their arse and someone else who did gets a nice tip!! haahah!:uh-huh:

Is AGI still around?

They were the last time I drove past. I have been there before and I didn't find them all that helpful. Actually, Perth in general seems to suck for import parts. Either they don't have them or they want too much. I went into Jap Wreck too and found they didn't have a hugh range of Skyline parts either - aren't Skylines as common as Commodores in Japan?

Best get from interstate. My brother is sourcing his half-cut from there.

yeah just as probably Japwreck did, the guy in QLD said he got a spare shipped over cause a few times his windows have been smashed on the docks by dickheads throwing rocks so he gets a spare when he can.

surely getting a 2nd one from Japwreck can't be double the price if someone else is getting them in the same way. and i payed $45 for overnight freight in that $175 price as well.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
