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.

Joe

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

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
