Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls i require your help, in the past few weeks i have been thinking and i have come to the conclusion, do we have a good and serious japanese car and parts importar i am considering a business such as "just ***" in sydney i cant disclose the JAPanese importas full name as for privacy rights and issues but i think you may all know who i am thinking of. i need to know would you people and other owners of japanese imports support me. honestly i am not sure wheather there is a shop similar to this in melbourne "and if so please tell me" but i think it would be a good idea. i would specialize in Half cuts, motors, gearboxes, spare panels, little interior parts and bodykits, badges and so on. everything imported everything you need. any feed back would be great i just want your opiniuon as the customer is always right.

Thank you kindly Lee.

there are a few places that do that but i think they are more spare parts wreckers, not a shop like your suggesting. its always good to have a decent spare parts supplier that wont charge you stupidly for parts. so if u do go ahead, i dunno become a sponsor on SAU, give us good prices ( maybe even discounts for sau vic members:D:D) good turn around times, and of course good service and im sure you will get business. it all comes down to marketing i guess. market yourself right and u'll be sucessful.

good lucks with it. which area are you planing to open up?? not in geelong i hope cause thats too far for me...LOL

well I already bring containers of parts down from japan, have access to wreckers etc, but I only do it on a per order basis, so when the container's full it gets shipped down. So if you need a supplier and/or logistics organiser gimme a hoot.

thank you for the reply i forgot to mention the store would more than likely be in Coburg or burwood area and yes there would be special SAU disconts espically when there are group buys

If it does go ahead, lemme know Lee if you can.

The SAU committee are interested in all that sorta stuff.

Its a good idea. Especially if you open it in Geelong :)

Seriously, a good shop that sells second hand performance gear as well as original parts will always be profitable.

Good luck!

It's about time someone in Melbourne gave the boys from Japanese Motor Sport in Adelaide a run for their money!! I'm sure you would get alot of business from the keen punters in Melb. looking for good prices on second hand big brand performance gear. All the best with the business venture!

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
