Only the series 2 manual and the 260RS

I picked up a set the other day with air-cond and stereo for 6000yen :thumbsup:

Are you using Slidewise for all this stuff Darrin? How is it all working out?

That is a stupid price BTW!

Cheers

Luke

I only used slidewize once to get my R34 GTR front bar

Had to come by container and was a 4 month wait

Also when you use the container method you get hit with duty and gst, even thuo the product is under $1000

So that is a bit of a trap, along with the bidding is not live, so you have set a price a few days before, which is not the best way to win auctions.

I use www.rinkya.com

Their fees work out to about the same as everyone else, but the best thing is the bidding is live.

I have beeen using them for over 3 years now with over 50 items bought and delivered with not one problem

They do have restrictions on what can be bought and shipped, so make sure you read their site well and understand the rules

Basically big items that exceed EMS shipping sizes and weights you can not buy, like body kits, seats, engines etc

I bought my R34 GTR wheels thru them, got them shipped sea freight, payed $900 for the wheels and the total was under $1600 landed (payed no duty or GST) and had them in 4 weeks

You can also purchase a few itmes over a few weeks and then ship all together to save on shipping

They will stall items upto 2 months. I have 4 items waiting to be sent now.

Also, new items are not worth buying, because you pay fees on top of the purchase price and a 25% shipping fee, so use greenline or nengun

And cheap items you can get here are not worth bidding on either by the time you pay the fees.

It is really good for items you can not just get here, like those gauges at any price.

I have used this company once www.fromjapan.co.jp/en just to try them out

Fees work out approx the same and had no problems

Now I have let my secect out, don't bid against me :thumbsup:

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
