Looking back at this post now, its amazing that you were able to get Motordyne's for 3.5k AUD.

 

Theyre going for 6.3k AUD now on JDMAccessories...

I haven't followed this thread to closely, but recently I had to purchase something from the US that was not car related, that did not ship to AUS. I found a service that gives you a US or UK postal address, and then redirects that to your Australian address. My item was only about 3lbs (it was American so imperial), and when I did the numbers, it worked out a lot cheaper than one company that did sell the same base model, but it had no options for upgraded accessories/additions and was well overpriced compared to buying it directly from the manufacturer. It was a cheap item, so it was also a test. The package has been delivered to my US address and is on its way here. The web site allows you to join without committing to a years membership (and had free upgrades for a trial). If I had to have a complaint till now, its that from the time it reached my US address till the time it was sent to / collected by DHL, it was so short, there was no tracking within the US address system, it was straight out for AU delivery! The other issue I had, was not with the re-director, but with DHL, that appeared to delay my package for no reason. As soon as I contacted DHL, they told me to contact the shipper, and when I contacted them, DHL updated my package status with 24hrs and the re-director apologised for the DHL delay.

I got a tracking number from the manufacturer to track it to my US address, and now I have a tracking number provided by the re-delivery, for delivery to AUS. I also have a StarTrack tracking number for delivery within AUS.

They also had a calculator where you entered the weight and the dest address to get an estimate of the shipping cost, before you sign up. Both my source and the re-director used PayPal, so it was pretty painless to pay. There were other companies, but the three I found, this one looked the best for my purposes; and as bothered as I could be with searching & researching.

    • UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their reliability is proven, performance can be predictable, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!  
    • I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end
    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
    • Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?
    • Hi all! Looking to relocate the battery to the trunk of an R34 GTT. I want to do it using as many stock GTR components as I can (including the harness protectors from the 34 GTR that run underneath along the chassis to the engine bay). So far I’ve purchased the battery tray from a 33 GTR, as the captive weld nuts are already there just asking to be used. There is also the slight issue of now having to relocate the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU, which in GTT’s sits right above where the battery will then sit on the tray. Has anyone already achieved this, and if you have any pics that you wouldn’t mind sharing? It would be great to see how others have done it and where you put them, as there are countless holes in the parcel shelf panel to potentially use. Just trying to get some ideas bounced around, and to help uncover any potential problems I may encounter by  my choice of location. TIA for any help!
