What a load of shit!

How does the US dollar effect the price of cars that are already in the country?

Actually how does it effect the price of cars coming from Japan either?

If anything, a strong $AU makes things cheaper from overseas.

Back on topic :)

I felt I got a reasonable price and a pretty quick sale.

It results in pushing the current ASP's (Average selling price) down on anything imported.

Its killing the technoligy industry at the moment as grey imports are 1/2 the price of the retail stores.

Which may sound good now, but wholesalers will compensate by jacking up profit margins now and once the dollar drops again the ASP's will rise again to higher prices that before the wave started. In short its good right now, but will be bad round xmas time when most people spend a packet. My advice shop for xmas now...

IE. 50" High def plazma from Sony (Bravia X series) in China $2200AUD, in Australia $4800AUD (quoting cheapest prices seen).

Even if you pay through the teeth on shipping its still going to be a grand less than is sells for in Australia.

Thats the problem with a astong dollar... :)

Stronger $AU means cheaper importation which means cheaper prices on resale from both the However, the primary problem with import resale is basic supply and demand.

Its always about supply and demand, everything in this world is about supply and demand... :)

yeah,I suppose that makes sense,

sorry COL!!!

You better be, no one understands world economic pressures on the depressed seal cubs in antartica like me :)

Yeah it was suprisingly quick.

I thought that thing would be harder to shake than herpes.

Talk to COL-GTSX he's looking to sell and it is an immaculate car.

      Did a conversion on my rb20 with rb25 cam and pulley, controlled it with a solenoid (forgot the port diameter of the solenoid)  and made an oil port on the cam cap to lower pressure in the journal. Difference  is day and night, the rb20 isn't dogshit down low anymore, not a powerhouse but this had add much welcomed torque down low. Boost build a bit sooner and torque rise way more when it start building boost. Only need to deactivate the VTC past 6500/7000rpm.   Knowing how it help with only 2L, having it on 2.6L it should be a mod to think about early on as it gives a lot of performance on most on the rev range.

      Not too sure, the throttle body has 4separate plugs going to it. Im not sure if the throttle is driven by cable and the motor is for traction, cruise and something there light blue one is TPS. i don't understand why the throttle won't open with the cable until about 3/4 on them only moves the valves very slightly
