Hello All

Mark Nguyen is the name. Moving my import yard onto the internet in the coming months and hoping to deal with the clubs/teams available on the net in regards to Japanese auto parts and cars. We have a variety of Japanese high performance parts & cars available. And I'm happy to give special prices to people on forums. Just wondering what parts most people are interested in on here as I have a variety and don't know what to list first. I stock a range of Nissan Skyline R32, R33, R34 GTS and GTR Parts as well as Toyota Supra, Soarer, Celica, MR2 and Nissan 180sx, 200sx, 300zx.

Hello & welcome Mark.

Depending on what you can get available, anything from performance parts to random accessories would get snapped up all the time. Are you in business now, or have a website etc etc ?

Yup what dan and Adrian said plus a website of your parts plus prices...

don;t worry about those victorians.... there a crazy bunch :-)

I'm in the process of creating a website etc, been looking for webmasters and designers but so far, very expensive quotes lol. As for victorians, they are crazy indeed. My mate from victoria told me he saw 16 cops today busting Jaywalkers in some sort of operation in the city. Surely there has to be a better way to use police resources LOL

Click on the members name, and a menu will pop up. Then click on "send a private message to.........", and there it is. Once someone has sent you one, it is easy to reply to their message.

MNImports, g'day and welcome.

For parts, are you talking second hand OEM parts? or just performance parts?

There isnt many places here that do second hand and new OEM and performance parts that I know of over here, like JMS or D1 Garage do in SA.

Something like that would be a welcome addition.

I'm talking second hand OEM and performance parts. Some of which would have to be ordered though.

Thanks for kind regards.

Well, some ideas would be the basic mods, exhaust, suspension, bovs, wheels, injectors, turbos, guages, fuel pumps (GTR/z32), afms - I could go on for ever :)

Second hand OEM engines, gearboxes, interior trim, panels, bumpers, lights, brakes, suspension, ecu, loom etc.

LOL, I got most of those.

I have some 780cc Nismo Injectors on special too if anyone is interested. I'm selling them new for $700 to all SAU members.

I got 2540 HKS Turbos for $1800 but they take 10 days to get delivered.

I got Buddy Club Hyper Golds New for $1500.

I got Blitz Fuel, Water Temp, Boost Gauges.

I got Gearboxes for R33 starting from $1k

I could go on forever too.

Thanks for your help though

Mark

    • Plazmaman 76mm Pro Series, done. Data to back it up, I posted up somewhere here a few years back
    • So.....wire it up appropriately. You can't use the resister pack with those injectors anyway.
    • that’s the thing i’m on ID1050s and haltech not getting power due to the injector resistor 
    • ahh okay cheers, i was thinking of just going for the m073, think m079 would be way too overkill considering they are same size. 
    • My first car was a HG. I'm very familiar with them. A mild cam upgrade is a good idea. The 186 is a very flexible engine - meaning it has good torque from down low. You can give up a little torque down low for quite a lot more excitement in the mid range, and a bit more up top - but they are not exactly a rev monster. You need to upgrade valve springs at the minimum. For a bigger cam, you'd want to make sure it wasn't still running the original fibre cam gear. That would be unlikely, given that most of them shat themselves in the 70s and 80s, but still within the realms of possibility. Metal cam gear required. Carbies are a huge issue. The classic upgrade was always a Holley 350, which works, but is usually pretty bad for fuel consumption. The 186S had a 2 barrel Stromberg on it that was very similar to the one on the 253, and is a reasonable thing if you can find one, and find someone to help you get it set up (which is the same issue with setting up a 350 to work nice). The more classic upgrade was twin sidedraught CD type carbs, or triples of same, or triple Webers. The XU-1 triple Webers being the best example. You can still buy all this stuff new, I think, but it's a lot of coin to drop. And then the people able to set them up are getting fewer and further in between. There's still some, but it used to be everyone's** dad and uncle could do it. **Not everyone's! But a lot. All in all, I wouldn't get too carried away with the engine. Anything you do to it without a full rebuild for power and revs will only make it slightly faster. I am all in favour of a complete teardown rebuild, with nice rods and pistons, 10 or 10.5:1 compression, and a clean port job with at least a big enough cam to run 98 with that compression, if not bigger. And if I did that to a dirty old red motor, I'd want to inject it too, which I'd struggle to fight against the devil on my shoulder that would argue for ITBs and trumpets. But the bills would start to mount up, and it will still never make stupid power. OK, a few people still know how to build absolutely mental red motors, courtesy of the work that went into HQ racing and modern knowledge being applied. But even a 300HP red motor is no match for an RB20 with a TD06. So you have to decide what it's worth to you. I'd just put a set of 6>2>1 extractors, a 2.5" exhaust and an electronic ignition conversion/dizzy on it and just run the old girl like the fairly slow old girl that she really is.
