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:

    • Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters. 
    • I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix. 
    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
