Just came back from japan the other day, stuf isn't that cheap over there. Looked at some 20" Work wheels, would have cost round $2900-$3000 plus the cost of shipping. Got a price from the aussie distributor and it was $3250 delivered to my door. Just something to think about.

Back from the land of the rising sun..amazing trip - would recommend it to anyone.

Ended up sourcing the 19" OEM Rays wheels domestically before i left however I did find a set of used Nismo S-tune Suspension for V35 on a yahoo.jp auction. Picked it up for Y42500 which is the equivalent to about $450AUD. I thought it was a great find. Fitted it yesterday and noticed the difference! Photo attached below - theres about 15-20mm drop from estimate without measuring.

Visited Super Autobacs in Tokyo Bay only to find that they only really stock performance parts for BRZ/86gt however most other parts could be ordered in. Basically a supercheap auto or an autobahn with a performance section and a variety of brand named wheels.

For used parts the numerous Up Garages stocked loads of V series parts so very worthwhile visiting/browing their online stock these guys have a reputation of dealing only with local buyers so would recommend visting if you are over there.

    • Realised I never posted this , also I never got a price 
    • I'm glad to hear you've joined the SKI club. Spend the Kids Inheritance.
    • I have a VALCON if anyone wants it, I have no idea why you'd want to have VVT specifically broken out of the ECU as opposed to running it off the FCON/whatever standalone you have.
    • Hi Yes we're a bit optimistic we might get something out of sealing up the two pipes of the external wastegate and reactivating the stock one. I believe the orginal stock wastegate was tack welded shut. It doesn't budge and visually looks closed and sealed. The car has noticeably more lag so it could be at least part of the problem, maybe all. It's definately one of the key changes made since last tune. And it's one that's more difficult to fully understand and measure, not like for instance timing or cylinder compression.  Thanks for that feedback, we'll let you know how this progresses. Fingers crossed.   Regards Rob
