  1. Most recommended exhausts are Remus and CES, not sure about Apexi N1 or Magnaflow. They are both proven to gain for the 2zzge. I heard there is a TRD muffler also availble for our cars, but no one seems to have it yet.

    i heard the n1 is loud and lose power. i have tried trd wagolis on my sedan and it sounds good plus it was bolt on specific for nze121. no issue with back pressure. both remus and trd are about $700-$800 but you can buy knowing they are designed to high standards.

    i have not driven a car fitted with ces exhaust. but the first time i saw one was last month on e-gene's car. e-gene took off and it sounded quite nice. a moment later was a dc5r with mugen exhaust and that was on a totally different level.

  2. this importaing places are bit funny, i was looking the other day on intenet and there was awesome condition skyline R33 Rb25 Gts-t for sale and only 500,000 yen which is around 5K!!!?

    not seeing the sale but looks like that was fob japan. additional things you need to pay for is international shipping, landing costs such as tax and duty, transportation or storage and compliance. it all adds up if you want to put it on the road.

    i have thought about importing a car since if you own it for 1 year overseas you can import it as a personal import. but unless i get a dirt cheap car or a prestige car i could not see it being worth it.

    how is these things work?

    have a look at customs web site to find information on how to import vehicles they have different schemes and application

  3. some people force bend the pipe down. otherwise remove the bolt connected to the pipe and move it underneath and then tighten the bolt. use some imagination and you will get it to work.

    also add in a few washers as spacers under the brace on the suspension bolts so it all sits flat and you're not bending the clamps

    from memory the washers need to be about 3mm thick to give enough clearance. bunnings can get washers. sometimes the loose washers they have in zinc finish is thick, sometimes the stock is thin. try to find the thicker ones and you probably need to combine 2 washers together to get the clearance needed.

    by the way c-one provides the washers. cusco have the washers welded onto the bottom of the bar ends. trd have them too.

  4. i saw these on ebay. after meeting RME1 last month and seeing his racing nuts i asked him where he got them from and he said ebay so i jumped on and searched.

    i found a seller with zenki and lucky i asked RME1 if this was the brand he got and he said no, so i did not buy them. now i read that you are using zenki and this happens to the product. saw them for $40-$50 per set.

    i have never really liked rays duranium nuts because of the closed end. i like the sportier type with the open end so when i saw RME1 i knew i wanted them just like c-one or weds.

    if you are going to change to rays get onto ebay for them there are heaps and around $150 per set for long and cheaper for short type.

  5. that sedan is in hong kong. the bodykit is from topline japan. i have not seen that bodykit outside japan until i saw that sedan and if you can afford it one good thing is that it has never been copied. the bodykit is available on yahoo japan auctions but you need to go through an auction broker to get it as the seller does not ship internationally.

  6. You get warning signs? We in Victoria should be so lucky

    i saw the private operators using the corolla wagon seems like an unsual model of car to use. usually can spot them as they park so straight on the nature strip and have extra dark tint on the back windows.
