There's a full Freeway Dolphin intercooler kit on there atm.

Yeah been watching it for days. Have contacted seller, has no leaks just cosmetic damage. Lets all bid on it and push the price up. :P

Same deal with a zorst on there at moment. Has to go dead cheap or all the fees and transport kill!

Had been thinking there might be some way the SAU M35 community could some how communicate to avoid pushing importmonster prices up?

im finding import monster just charging way too much.

i got a nm35 nismo dash.. the bid cost me $428 to win the auction.

to get it to my house.. its just shy of $700 including shipping and import monsters fees. and it weighs less than your shit.

ive got a local there who can get whatever i want for import monster and avoid the tarrifs..and im going start using him.

(direct from yahoo).

when the auction costs 35,000 yen to win and then import monster chucks on 7000 yen of their own it gets expensive.

are we talking about the front bar?

theres a few but there all fairly damaged n dont come with the grille

thats exactly what i thought.. rip off merchants selling us dodgy bars for high prices.

im not going for it.

notice the impul car.. it was advertised mutliple times as either the whole kit in some auctions and in others it was broken up in pieces.

it made no sense.. like one auction they wanted 800$ for the two side skirts than another they wanted 1700 for the two side skirts and the front bar... absolute jokers.

i personally reckon you did the right thing.. i reckon the hdi is better than the dolphin.

Even at the current price $357 the SH Dolphin through importmonster would come to about $790 sea, $830 air (over double the sale price) so no point ....except has an intake kit with it.

Got a key to reprogram through them and it went from $20 sale price to around $50 delivered - realy seems to much.

Now fingers crossed no one else bids on the zorst! HINT

just won a zorst through IM.....awesome :)

Sorry Old Gregg....only kidding :yes: good luck hope you get it!

BTW....read earlier you have prob's....what is it?

P.S. Best way is to keep quite with IM....if I mentioned to all you guy's that there was a Nismo ECU on IM for $450 would you bid against me? :cool: wont work....would love it to but there will always be someone out there who will cut your grass....best bet is if you find it to keep quite if it rare!

Other forums have tried having 2 posts - one to give others a heads up there is item "x" if anyone is interested - another to "shotgun I saw it first lets not push the price up". All that happens is people use both as a source of items to bid on. So you are right you just shut up and hope no one else finds it! That Dolphin inter kit would already cost $967 delivered by sea through IM - $489 looks OK but not once you add the extras!

re the probs - transmission? - company purchased from is paying to truck it to Sydney so they can make sure it is fixed properly even though the re5ro5a is a pretty common one. Local mechanics can't even tell for sure is trans as it seems to have put the motor into limp but not put up any codes or warning lights.

I thought it was turbo to start with! Whinning and no power all of a sudden going up a hill.

its so tempting so spend lots of money on there Aaron!

Keir, i agree! it was a fairly straight forward install with no cutting required. the worst part fo me was pushing the clips through the radiators for the replacement thermo fan

yeah wouldnt let it worry you mate.. mines held up fine and its heat resitant plastic.. they wont snap, and the radiator fins will take the load its quite light! just sketchy that i got the wires the right way :?

plus if they dont for whatever reason the HDI Kit comes with brackets for the fan, depening of the sizer of the Radiator fan. mine held and saved the cuts on my hand trying to push clips though.

but everyone to their own i guess :rolleyes:

my HDi kit didnt come with a new fan, did yours??

nah its didnt? I know when I spoke to the "stupid in-coherant call centre advisor" from HDI said that some authorise sellers actually add the fan for our kit coz they were familiar that the fan had to be changed. but mine didnt. does matter I picked one up on ebay for $48 free shipping. tested it n it works fine.. although its rarely uses since our fan doesnt turn on till 108 degrees anyway..i managed to hit the temp once.. then realised my water needed to be topped up lol plus a 35 degree day did the trick.
