There was a sale on tonight (friday 17th) on the Jetstar website.

$199 one way to Narita from the Gold coast. Fingers crossed i got in just in time, with $330 (with taxes and shit) one way from Melbourne! :stupid::D

All up i'm looking @ $1840 return for 3 people from Melbourne to Narita :blush:

big giant red hairy ones.

oh.

i mean... cramped seating, virgin blue style service, delays and to top it off, not one single good looking young Japanese stewardess. all old bats. I dunno, 1 or 2 hour flights are fine if they're shit, by the time you feel like yelling at someone you have to get off the plane anyways, but on long flights I think the extra creature comfort goes a long way and is wortht he extra quid.

So its true, Shan IS a whore, its just a matter of the amount :laugh:

Anyway, what dates are you flying Shan?

Flying Gold Coast to Osaka on June 22nd and coming back on the 9th of July... lol I'm being dragged there by a friend who's into the cultural stuff... apparently there's a Tanabata festival or something which will be cool to see. In mid june there's a dragon boat race too as well. All I know is that there's a D1 round on the 26th and 27th of June.

This time the trip's gonna be more of a cultural trip than a car-trip. Mind you if you see a guy trying to check in two R34 GTR seats as excess baggage on the flight back, that'll be me. I'll have to try and catch up with the J-Spec japan crew in tokyo as well, and try and meet up with Laurence n some of the ZT JP guys to go out n get drunk and smash some random box at a seedy love hotel.

Regular sea freight will always be the cheapest though is always the longest form of regular freight delivery.

Air Freight will be around 25-30,000 Yen

Its a pain in the ass to take it back on the plane with you but would definitely be the cheapest option.

Just ring up your carrier and check out the cost for an estimate of the dimensions and weight as check in luggage. The last thing you want to be told is that they cant fit it in with baggage or something an hour and a half before you fly out.

Should be under 9,000 Yen for an exhaust to come back with you.

Bit of a noob question, but i haven't really bought anything back like that before....

What will Australian customs say about the exhaust? Would i skate under the rader if the value declared is under $1k?

They shouldn't say anything, its just cargo in a passenger plane.

I doubt they would even ask you a question about it.

Keep the invoice anyway though i doubt the cost for any would be over 1k anyway and if it was and by some strange chance you are questioned just explain its for your car and it cost $500. Customs agents aren't evil people. If the value is legitimately under $1000 then there is no extra cost associated in bringing it into the country.

Everyone brings back things from Japan be it video cameras, game consoles etc.

If it worries you just put the box inside out, its still going to be x-rayed.

I wouldn't even worry about it.

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
