Buying Performance Parts From The Source


Recommended Posts

Hi all, when im Japan next month i want to buy a few parts to bring back.

For instance:

HKS 3037 or 3040

HKS pistons

I see on Nengun that the turbos sell for about $2500.Will i make a big saving by buying it direct from HKS?

Can someone find out what price i will pay???

regards

Dave

I would say it will probably cost more to buy it from HKS as you will be charged retail. nenguns price is below japanese retail. also, I don't think you will be able to but them from HKS anyway :woot:

not many places even in japan have HKS turbos etc just sitting around. it will be a bit hit and miss, but sure give it a go. I used to love buying parts in japan. now I just order and ship them as carrying stuff is a bitch.

Feel free to plug me any time Richard :D

I can often undercut nenguns prices and also am able to set up a system so you wont cop import tax.

not to mention my response speed is several light years ahead of nengun. :)

Im listening ;)

Well unlike nengun I can buy the part and send it to you in japan while you are here? that will lower international shipping costs... will be a pain lugging around a turbo though. anyway if you dont have my email its [email protected]

mail me if you want to hook something up.

yeah sorry :P I never really thought of you in the new parts light. :D but yes everything jesse says is true. he has good service, knows what he's talking about and has always been good to deal with. so i wouldn't hesitate to recommend using him to buy parts for you. :)

I should also add that he is insanely good looking. has had me question my sexuality once or twice. so definitely buy your gear from jesse over nengun "machimasu o-kudasai" performance.

Hehe, didn't think he swings that way... hehe

Yeah, Streeter rules... I heard he beat Chuck Norris in a fight

hks is super gay to deal with!

me and jesse were tring to get a gasket off them and it just went around in circle,

then rezz try to help me and hks sent us the wrong gasket 2 times and in the end said their was no gasket for my turbo LOL!

bad hks!

I have managed to get my hands on a Garrett GT3076,XTR topmount manifold from GCG and turbosmart external gate for a bargain price.

So i wont be going the HKS 3037 route,$2500 for a turbo was a little rich for my blood.

Im sure ill make the numbers with this setup though.

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
