Hey all,

i am heading to japan soon, about 2 months away, just for a quick holiday...wat i wanna know is... i want to buy some cheap parts for my r32 gtr and im wondering if theres anyone out there that could reccomend any parts that would be a lot cheaper to get over there and where from and if u could give me some directions on how 2 get to it either in tokyo or nagoya (not far out of the city) on a map would be good!

i wanna get some parts that i can bring back in my suitcase too rather than shipping....

my car is reasonably stockish part from the usual

was thinking i wanna get either big single turbo or apex fc

or suggestions...

thanx

My advice, dont go too nuts.

Everything is there for you, if you know where to look.

Anything along the lines of electronics, fuel system, accessories, gauges etc are easy.

If you go overboard, be prepared for an uncomfortable hike back to the airport - a close to 30kg bag of parts is an absolute bitch to carry - speaking from experience

Find every "Up Garage" you can and you'll find yourself in 2nd hand heaven !!!! :(

"Autobacs" for new, general car stuff and if you're really nice they will both discount for multiple purchases.

AND be prepared to get a lot of attention from Customs on your return to Aus.

Don't listen to blitz...go nuts

just kidding.

BST might be a bit of a hassle though. nicks advice is sound. just check the prices on parts you want here before you go. no point buying a 'bargain' lugging it back then realising you could have ordered it for the same price.

    • Hi. This is just my curiosity because iam sure the tuner figure something out...but either way i want to ask. The "problem" is that the Nistune ECU (Stagea FW and RB25DET NEO from Stagea) sees many times the speed than the speedo does(he says the speedo show 120 km/h - correct speed and the ECU shows like 510km/h ) I told him that this car/tranny getting speed from rear diff. If iam not mistaken the RB25DET NEO "need" to see tranny speed sensor? (my tranny has the plug for it). So couple of "question" If he connects/wire the speed sensor to the tranny...are the signals gonna intervene and if...what if he disconnects the rear diff one and the speedo stops working? Or the "new" sensor from the tranny "take over" and will not going need the one from diff? As i said i know he figure/get that done...iam just curious to know what are the solutions 🙂 
    • Your IACV is set to idle too low. You need to adjust it via the screw Duncan mentioned. From memory it should be 650rpm with the valve electrics unplugged. What is it trying to idle at with the IACV plugged in?
    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
