Hi All,

Following up on our announcement that we have been appointed as Works Bell's exclusive Australian distributor (see http://tinyurl.com/64hus7 ) this week we opened the Works Bell section of our site.

The Tuners Group is one of only two Works Bell Factory Authorised Distributors worldwide outside of Japan, so it is quite a coup for a growing Australian company like us to have been selected by Works Bell in this capacity, and we are honoured to have been selected by Works Bell as their exclusive Australian distributor.

Works Bell products are also used extensively in both Formula D and D1, and were chosen by Japanese tuning giant JUN Automotive as the supplier of the steering wheel and quick release used on JUN's iconic Mitsubishi Evo X project car.

Works Bell are also the official supplier of steering wheels and quick releases to Team Orange, and to Toshiki Yoshioka of Team DROO-P.

PRICES NEVER BEFORE SEEN IN AUSTRALIA

As you can see, we've kept our promise on pricing - our ex tax retail prices are identical to the prices that Works Bell's products sell for in Japan.

So Australian customers can now get Works Bell products at ex-tax prices that are identical to what you'd pay if you lived in Japan - without the cost of an air fare to Tokyo :D

Unfortunately there is no way around GST, so the Australian government puts their hand out for 10% on sales to customers in Australia, but we believe that our pricing is the lowest everyday prices that Works Bell products have ever been available for in Australia.

And of course by by purchasing from us, because we are Works Bell's official exclusive Australian distributor you are 100% guaranteed of getting the real deal, genuine Works Bell products.

THE TUNERS GROUP'S AUSTRALIAN PRICING POLICY

In terms of our pricing policies, as I said when we released the Forced Ignition system in Australia ...

"One of our primary business goals is not just to provide high quality, innovative products, but to provide those products to our customers at prices that are not inflated by multiple layers of exporters, importers and distributors."

"We are supplied with Forced Ignition systems directly by the manufacturer in the US, and we work hard to 'cut the fat' from our supply chains."

"The end result is that we are able to supply high quality, highly innovative products like the Forced Ignition Immobilizer to our customers at the previously unseen innovative prices we are announcing today."

"For too long, customers in Australia have been forced to pay large markups on products made outside of Australia. With our new pricing on the high quality Forced Ignition system, we currently have the lowest pricing of any retailer in the world - online or offline."

We will be applying exactly the same kind of pricing to our Works Bell products ...

Premium quality Works Bell products at ex-tax prices that are identical to what they sell for in Japan where Works Bell are based.

AVAILABILITY AND HOW TO ORDER

There are a few products we are still adding to our ordering system, but the bulk of Works Bell's major products like the Rapfix II Quick Release, the tilting Rapfix GTC-R quick release, the Team Orange and Yoshioka Collaboration edition versions of the Rapfix II etc are all now online and available for purchase.

Please note that we have had to turn off private messaging on the forum as we have no way to track which forum PM enquiries we have replied to and which we haven't, so for enquiries please contact us via our contact us page at

Hi Naomy,

This is the the Works Bell Rapfix Key Lock System ...

large293.jpg

It is designed to be used with the Works Bell Rapfix II Quick Release ...

The Rapfix Key Lock System is definitely worth getting as well if you are getting a quick release.

As it says on our site at

http://www.tunersgroup.com/Online_Store/Wo...ock_System.html ...

"Designed to be used with the Works Bell Rapfix II Steering Wheel Quick Release, the Rapfix Key Lock System takes the security of your car to a whole new level ! When you park your car, you simply pop your steering wheel off and attach the Key Lock System security cap, which attaches in seconds with a simple turn and click action.

Constructed of ultra tough A5056 billet alloy, it features an ultra scratch resistant almite surface finish, and a high security non-pick cylinder lock mechanism with a ball bearing action and unique keys. The Rapfix Key Lock System is built beyond tough ! With no steering wheel in your car, and no way to remove the Key Lock System, a car thief has no way to drive your car away !

How It Helps Keep Your Car Safe From Car Thieves

The Works Bell Rapfix Key Lock System locks to the section of the Rapfix II Quick Release which is attached to your steering column.

It covers the fasteners that bolt your Rapfix II Quick Release to your steering boss / hub. So rightaway it stops a thief unbolting the Rapfix II mount from your steering boss / hub, and stops the thief attaching a steering wheel which the thief has brought with them to your boss kit / hub.

large294.jpg

The Works Bell Rapfix Key Lock System also helps stop a thief removing your steering hub and replacing it with a steering hub and steering wheel which the thief has brought with them.

It also helps stop a thief who has brought another steering wheel with a quick release fitted to it from attaching that steering wheel to your quick release mount attached to the steering column.

And last of all, the Works Bell Rapfix Key Lock System is a large diameter which also helps deter any thief who might try to steer your car with vise-grips or similar."

In answer to your other question ...

if u purchase quick relase can i use my momo steering wheel and if i purchase raphix key lock system can i use it as quick release as well.??

Yes the Works Bell Rapfix II quick release is machined at the factory to accept both Momo bolt pattern steering wheels and Nardi Bolt pattern steering wheels.

If you purchase a Works Bell Rapfix II quick release, and Rapfix Key Lock System, the Works Bell Rapfix II quick release functions as a quick release, and the Rapfix Key Lock System is a separate product that attaches to the quick release when your car is parked.

and also can i pay by paypal ? or only bank transfer ??

We accept payment by credit card, Paypal or cheque.

Information about the payment methods we accept can be found here ...

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
