OK for those of you who don't know I am a Takakaira junky..I have placed nearly 10 orders with these guys and have never had a problem.

So here is the [b:901408301d]G O[/b:901408301d]

I will be putting in an order in the first 2 weeks of May so if you want anything check out www.takakaira.co.jp and let me know at

[email protected] so we can get a discount by ordering in bulk.

To give you an idea, I ordered some stuff on Friday 12th April and will get it on Wed 24th April, this is usually the case so long as they have the gear in stock. If you know of something that is made but not on the site let me know as I hava a few goods masters (HKS, TRUST, APEXi) that I can get part numbers from for instance the HKS oil filler cap is not on the site but I know the part number so I can put in a special order.

PRICING: Use the pricing on the site as a guide, I will divide up the freight based on the individual weight of the parts per person and give you and idea closer to when we order. This is a great opportunity to save heaps on gear. i just saved $270 on my S-AFC.....

I'm a Takakaira junky too it's a huge site you can spend hours there

........how about a sequential shifter?? I just installed a C's shortshifter and its really great,..........and all those wheels.........drooooool! :(

Sequential shifter:

Lifts the original pivot point by around 15mm then extends the lower section of the shifter by the same amount thus reducing the throw length needed to move between gears.

Shipping:

Shipping is based on weight or size depending how big it is i.e. if you bring over a front bar for your car then it would be size but for a shift kit only weight. $130 freight should allow you around 5kg. No import tax as the amount declared on the box is within the limits of importation.

Shifter:

My friend got a C's in with front cut and when ever I can I steel it and use it, they are sweet, I have taken all the measurements and will be making my own soon. lol

Just a word of warning about Short -Shifters. If you install one and use as it's intended ie very quick shifts,,,,you won't have your syncro's for long.

Neil

Guy's I did say "Use it as it's intended" meaning flat changes and Super fast changes. 4rd gear syncro ring will be first to go(I'm pretty sure 4th & 5th use normal syncro's like a GTR) and 3rds braking ring will suffer next.....Just a word of warning thats all. Remember our boxes are better than WRX's but they are not bullit proof.

Jimbo double shuffles will be okay cause you are letting the brake ring do it's job.

Neil.

looking for tips from anyone who has received goods of considerable value from takakaira before.

what exactly do takakaira write on the customs declaration?

the complete contents of the parcel? partial contents? obvisouly they undervalue the contents to avoid duty and gst..

any advice appreciated, shipping some stuff from japan personally this evening so would like to know some of their tricks to avoid duty

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
