  1. You'll need a blue slip. Depending on the inspection place you go to they may not give one because of the mods. You'll have to transfer the rego and get NSW plates issued and pay the appropriate fees. Perhaps look at the RTA website for more details.
  2. Nothing an uppercut doesn't sort out. Or are you talking about the rotor?
  3. They don't suck. It's the small minded people that don't know anything about them that give them a bad wrap. I have owned 3 and I never had a single problem with them at all and I dare say the people that bad mouth them have never even owned one. Just like anything mechanical (and female) they can have issues when mistreated.
  4. I don't think it's the fact that people are misinformed, it's the fact that people will shop around for the best and cheapest price they can find whether it be overseas or locally. I for one couldn't give a shit about the local market / economy. What matters to me is what part I want and where is the cheapest I can buy it from. I am sure a lot of people who have spent a decent amount of coin on their cars would agree. They would be kidding themselves if they didn't.
  5. Drive parts sold. Will throw in free delivery for the pump at $900.
  6. nevermind, i saw you were after used.
  7. Details of lawyer please.
  8. You can buy them less than 1100 on ebay usa...
  9. Perhaps you need to find another profession... BTW, tell me what's illegal about importing parts from overseas ? I am curious to see what your understanding is. With regards to Trust/Greddy - perhaps no one wanted to buy their products anymore because other competition were offering a better product for a cheaper price... But you've already acknowledged that it was a poor choice.
  10. You need to realise that people who work hard for THEIR money can do what they want with THEIR money. And I personally will always import parts for what ever car I wish to build IF it's cheaper for me to do so and I would expect the people that actually use their brain to build a car would do the same! You could potentially save a massive amount of money doing it that way, money that can go towards other things. I ran an online car parts website for a few years and I ended up removing it from the web for a few reasons, one was the local parts retailers IMO were overpriced. Why the hell would I buy a set of pistons (for example) from x stockist when I can jump on ebay even and buy the same things for a considerable amount less? Then you find the US car forum / Yahoo Japan Auctions and find the parts even cheaper! I can agree with what you're saying to an extent, but the Aussie retails don't seem to be in touch with the exchange rates, when the Aussie dollar gets stronger they don't pass on the savings to their customers. At the end of the day it's their choice to be a retailer, no one is forcing them to start that kind of business. No one is asking them to keep their business open even if its running at a loss. If they want to be more appealing to local customers then perhaps they need to look at what they're actually doing and seeing what competition is out there. But I guess you'll be the dummy and pay more to support a local retailer rather than saving and buying from elsewhere - good for you.
  11. $900 for pump $200 for the drive parts Please only message me if you actually want to buy it. I had two people wanting to buy but they don't seem to want to commit to the purchase.
  12. Must have been hair raising... (cannot believe no one said it already)
  13. The Wanted to Buy section is there for a reason. Perhaps if you were that genuine you would actually keep an eye out in the for sale section. Don't crash and die in the new car, that would be a crying shame...
  14. Is the wanted to buy section broken?
  15. Where's that being offered?
  16. FWIW, here are some parts numbers that I came up with and pricing for an external oil pump kit. I only really needed to find someone to make a bracket for the pump itself, most of the parts are there minus the hosing and belt. Might be a couple of extra fittings required depending on where / how you wanted to mount it. Some of the prices may have changed since I did it (about 4 months ago)
