munkey, the dodgy asian men are at the swap meets. most of em are from china. quite a few of the computer stores are owned by china man as well.

i just went up to sydney last week, i didn't realise computer parts would b cheaper there else i would've looked around. went in that paddy's market, no computer stuff there.

cheapest place i've found here is msy. their parts are cheap cheap, those guys must get em cheap from some supplier.

take a look: www.msy.com.au

i dunno how dodgy they are though, went there and the store is pretty small and stuff. i tried to bargain em and it didn't work and they didn't have my motherboard in stock so i left.

where are the computer markets in melb, where dodgy taiwanese and asian men peddle expensive gear at insanely low prices like in syd?

boxhill town hall, camberwell, collingwood, springvale... go http://www.comtrader.com.au/ for a list of current. Going on prices on, well for anything (from cars to computers) i'd imagine melb would be cheaper for computer stuff. you get some dirt cheap deals, and while it looks dodgy, most of it works great

I could make soooo much $$ if i bough mobile phones and comp stuff and sold it in australia, but i would have to smuggle it in or i would have to pay import duty on the stuff!!

Inark u still smuggling stuff into the country with your anus?? wanna come to taiwan and we can stuff a few comp parts up your anus and bring it back to australia.:bahaha:

would there be any room up there to bring me back a set of mag wheels???

:D

hmm the weight and sixe of box +courier fee + import duty australia would charge you for the mags would be shiteloads!

I was told u pack all my old clothes in the dhl box and my new clothes in my suitcase then i wont get charged by dhl/customs for bringing back new things

i love the asian men at "swap meets" (dunno why ppl stll call em that, hardly anyone swaps anything... its jus "computer markets" in syd)

The most popular one up there is at North Rocks shopping center, they all own small stores and warehouses, and the guys that trade direct out of warehouses give you prices so cheap i've yet to see anything in melb compete with them.

The other place is on Liverpool St in Enfield, which is where umart (www.umart.com.au) dispatches its goods from, you go to the website, check the price, put in an order and you pay em when you pick up... brilliant.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
