Is it possible for him to act as an intermediary for online japanese auctions like yahoo or sumfin? coz I found some parts for my car on there, but can't get em over here,coz a) my japanese sucks, and B) they won't trade with international buys, can he go in as a middle man?

he can do that yes thats where he gets most of his parts from and thats where have sourced parts from him before.. just cut and paste the yahoo page so he knows what it is.. just beware that occasionally the person advertising a product might not have stock and you might need to be patient.. but got some dump pipes and other bits and pieces and they were fine, also an electronic boost gauge at a good price. he charges I think 10% on top for providing the service.

It`s more than 10% It depends on what it is. If it is really expensive than you pay about 10% But if you purchase a blow of valve for lets say $50 AUS then I charge 25% on it $12.50 AUS

OK 2 things i've imported from japan... just tell me how much you'd charge for these, both bought from yahoo auctions:

Wheel caps got em for 200 yen, by the time I got em the total charge was about $65 (rediculous)

Strawberry face kit for my 180sx bought for 220,000 yen, by the time it got here it was $4500 (reasonable since I was asked $7000 for the kit in australia)

How much would you have charged me for them (all prices in yen are purchase price in Japan, and the ones in $AU are with delivery to my door). Using those examples could you give me a breakdown of what your charges for those items would be?

PS email me if you don't wanna reply in public.

Thanks

You see folks...There are other people in Japan with access to performance parts.......If you would rather deal with people in Australia and over pay for your parts...then thats fine.  

So if you would like to get anything out in the open about anyone or anything.....feel free to do it here....get it over and done with so we can move onto better things.

If you don't mind, I'm trying to establish WHY I should make a purchase through him instead of someone else, or someone local.

How would you know a guy's ripping you off on a can of coke if you've never bought a can of coke before in your life.

These two items happen to be things that I've searched for, bargained, hunted and finally purchased. By getting his quotes on em I can compare his pices, charges, and service procedures to the ones I've already used.

If you have a problem with it, report it to a moderator, don't whinge. I don't see your post proving to me why I should purchase from nengun (which if you may recall is the original reason for the thread: why don't people like purchasing from nengun; well I want to find out why I should). We all have reasons for asking what we do.

Just got the costs involved if nengun had gotten me those items, and I reckon its a fair deal he's offering, so I think I might be tryin his services next time.

It converts this:

to this:

Its basically a kit that consists of a pair of S15 silvia lights, front guards and a bonnet, all of which convert the front of a 180sx to the new 200sx :D I think there's about 11 in australia maybe less.

      Thoughts on this .. G35-1050 pulsar result

      Nope, still smaller rear, put on the 4inch exhaust and picked up power everywhere, ended up just shy of 800rwhp.   Didn't seem to be hitting any walls either, so perhaps could have pushed for more but all maybes and the fish that got away etc etc.

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it
