I just got the cusco strut brace from him, it all looks good, arrived on time, got my tracking #

I'd buy from him again.

there was an issue with the 120Y braces, so it took a little longer, but he communicated with me and I decided to wait it out.

my brace was shipped from japan, so he is having help from someone in japan to ship the stuff.

my dash and steering wheel came yesterday morning. a week, maybe a bit less, from when i paid for it.
i must say apart from the quick delivery,and discounted price, the dash itself is in excellent condition, looks pretty much in 'as new' condition with no cracks or sh1t anywhere.
ill put up some pics on the weekend.

Hello Dattowhore
Now a lightened flywheel allows your engine to rev faster & also has less engine brake when deaccelerating, in your case for using it in a race situation it is perfect. Now you can still also use it for street use as well, it just makes it a little harder to get off the line when taking off under low throttle position, but it is not that noticeable to the point where it is annoying. Any performance engine with a modified cam & carburation etc is always a little bit more work off the start line.

Hello Sidedraught
You are 100% correct here, by the time you land the item in your hand it has cost a fortune. I experienced your experience many times, thus in the end that is why I moved to Japan. I am now in the position to cut out all of the robbery of middle men & offer parts to people at a good price, but still make a living from it myself.

Yes Whoridas_girl
Winning is winning even if it is by a 1mm
& also second is the first looser.

Hello Beattie
Thank you for your kind comments, yes the price, now the Japanese collectors know what these items are worth just the same as we do, I spend many hours & many phone calls & sometimes many KMS driving around Japan to find these items. Then there is the money to be spent buying as I say the Japanese collectors know what they are worth & thus you have to compete with them also. Now I am in business to make money, not to give it away & to those that think that things are expensive, I say come to Japan & buy them. It will cost you $2500 for insurance & flight, + accomodation on top, then you have to get around the place, then you have to know where to go to find the bits. I also have to pay GST + Ebay fees + Paypal fees on top, so I try to keep thing as reasonable as possible as I am well aware if it is too expensive it will not sell. So sometimes it pays to just think about the fine detail on the other side of the fence.
Thanks

Hello Guys & Girls
Thanks for the comments & all are taken into consideration.
First of all I gave Pepper that dash for $700 as I discounted it for him as it was purchased after the auction, thus no Ebay fees & Paypal fees, I am considerate like that. ;)
Yes, once upon a time deliveries would drag on a little longer than I liked & I take full responsibility for that. It is not that I have a better contact doing all the work in Japan, I actually these days live in Japan with my wife in Sendai where my main office is. I share a holding yard & small office with a close friend of mine in Tokyo & operate also out of my Adelaide office when I am there.
I have now joined up here with your nice little 1200 site, so any questions etc, please do not be frightened to ask.
Thanks

Regards

Yea matbighat, sorry about the title. The ebay link is Tokyo 2U if that helps with the title.

Any help/ suggestions i can get, answers my question so im not fussed if you boys keep it going with other import parts.
Im going to wait till i have my engine set-up first so i can measure what sort of room i will have to spare as intercooler pipes and the holley hat will be sharing some of the engine bay room. (i hope)

Cheers dodgeman for your advice. I think they are about 3.8kg, I'm just too lazy to check the JUN website at the moment. It would be for my a15 khanacross car but i know i will need the rest of the engine ie: compression, cam, head, induction, etc to make it work.

Check the flywheel weight before you sell yourself off. A light street flywheel would be somewhere around 5 to 6 kg, but I suspect that those flywheels might be around 3kg.

Check that one of these will suit your purpose, then bid away.
