OK for those of you who don't know I am a Takakaira junky..I have placed nearly 10 orders with these guys and have never had a problem.

So here is the [b:901408301d]G O[/b:901408301d]

I will be putting in an order in the first 2 weeks of May so if you want anything check out www.takakaira.co.jp and let me know at

cam@d-u-e-l.com so we can get a discount by ordering in bulk.

To give you an idea, I ordered some stuff on Friday 12th April and will get it on Wed 24th April, this is usually the case so long as they have the gear in stock. If you know of something that is made but not on the site let me know as I hava a few goods masters (HKS, TRUST, APEXi) that I can get part numbers from for instance the HKS oil filler cap is not on the site but I know the part number so I can put in a special order.

PRICING: Use the pricing on the site as a guide, I will divide up the freight based on the individual weight of the parts per person and give you and idea closer to when we order. This is a great opportunity to save heaps on gear. i just saved $270 on my S-AFC.....

Sequential shifter:

Lifts the original pivot point by around 15mm then extends the lower section of the shifter by the same amount thus reducing the throw length needed to move between gears.

Shipping:

Shipping is based on weight or size depending how big it is i.e. if you bring over a front bar for your car then it would be size but for a shift kit only weight. $130 freight should allow you around 5kg. No import tax as the amount declared on the box is within the limits of importation.

Shifter:

My friend got a C's in with front cut and when ever I can I steel it and use it, they are sweet, I have taken all the measurements and will be making my own soon. lol

Just a word of warning about Short -Shifters. If you install one and use as it's intended ie very quick shifts,,,,you won't have your syncro's for long.

Guy's I did say "Use it as it's intended" meaning flat changes and Super fast changes. 4rd gear syncro ring will be first to go(I'm pretty sure 4th & 5th use normal syncro's like a GTR) and 3rds braking ring will suffer next.....Just a word of warning thats all. Remember our boxes are better than WRX's but they are not bullit proof.

Jimbo double shuffles will be okay cause you are letting the brake ring do it's job.

looking for tips from anyone who has received goods of considerable value from takakaira before.

what exactly do takakaira write on the customs declaration?

the complete contents of the parcel? partial contents? obvisouly they undervalue the contents to avoid duty and gst..

any advice appreciated, shipping some stuff from japan personally this evening so would like to know some of their tricks to avoid duty

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.

      As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers.

      Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
