next month i'll be going to Indonesia for a few weeks, where $300 Aus allows you to live like Donald Trump for 2 weeks.

they have Cefiros there, and from what i've been told car parts will be a good price, so i'm looking at bringing some parts back with me, and possibly creating a few contacts for future importing. atm i'm only looking at genuine parts like headlights, taillights, panels, etc. However, i will check out if there is any bodykits available, what sort of prices if there is & the quality.

at the moment i have to check out how much i'm allowed to bring back as a private purchase, otherwise i'll look into getting an ABN and setting up a business name if it's not too expensive, and bringing them back like that. also have to look into tax, freight and other associated costs.

remember, this is hypothetical and may not materialize for a number of reasons. i'm keen to make this happen so have been talking with a few businesses about bringing the parts in through them.

now, if this can be done, who would be interested in a few parts?

yeah if this all pans out, vents are number 1 on the list, i need some just like everybody else. i'll try to find out a few things this week and give everybody an idea as to what's going on. it's still about a month til i go over there, so there's plenty of time for me to sus things out.

just keep in mind that indonesia got really shitty spec A31's (ones that even japan didn't get)... so things like interior trim and panels are still the same, but don't expect to get engines and RB20DET model spec mechanicals.

That said... I'm sure they have cheap fibreglass bodykits available there so look into them... and also indonesia being oceania's rice (chrome n LED) capital, I'm sure there's plenty of ceffy specific rice too.

Your easiest wa of getting stuff down is to fill a partial container with the stuff you buy... I don't think you'll have enough to pack a full container.

      I did not go to GTR Festival. It's quite a long drive and the car wasn't dialed in yet. I also wanted to see how the racing portion went before going. From what I can tell the classes were not heads up, index, or bracket - just whoever has the quickest ET wins. Never heard of that sort of thing before and maybe some people like it but it's not my cup of tea. I don't suspect I'll go if that is how the racing is done. I did get the car out three times and had issues each time. Some were my error - haven't raced the car in over two years - and others were parts. Had trouble getting the clutch to slip correctly and remembering how it was set up in the Haltech. Broke some drivetrain parts as well that couldn't be fixed in a couple days to get back out. Season definitely didn't end the way I wanted but at least the bearings are still fine! Not a fleck of material in the filter. Really hoping next year is the year I can actually test this car properly.

      find it funny everyone claims different fuel chains, do different things with their fuel blah blah blah. We don't have that many fuel terminals in Australia. The fuel tanker trucks drive into the terminal, fill up, and drive directly to the service station and dump out. The majority of fuel you get, is coming out of the same terminals. The variation is actually at the individual service stations and how good their tanks are, as well as how much turn over they actually have. Older fuel stations, that haven't had their tanks replaced are going to end up with the worst fuel. Also a lot of older stations have shit design, and shit maintenance, and end up with more water absorption into the tank. This is when you then get a bad batch of fuel. Other shit things happen, like tanker drivers have a f**k up, and starting to unload the wrong compartment on their truck into the wrong tank.
