    I'm not sure if this is within the forum guidelines but I have a mate that is bringing in a container from Japan. He has done this a few times in the past only on the MR2 forum and the users on this forum. Those know me in real life (Chilli, AndyMac just to name a couple) will vouch that I am not here to scam anyone.

    Basically, if you need something, contact him and he can give you a price on how much it will be (if he can get it). It will take a little longer as it will need to come in by boat. Please read his post below,

    Also not sure if this should go into the For Sale section either as he does not sell parts regularly. He knows where to source parts and only does this once in a blue moon when there are enough interests to bring in a container.

    Do we need to source the parts ourselfs?

    No, you don't need to source it yourself

    contact him, and he'll tell you if he can get it for you.

    Spoiler

    I'd really like to get my hands on one of the M30Z spoilers like on the Tommy Kaira editions. Think I will have any luck with this piece?

    As in the first post

    I think it would be easier for ALL to simply contact him via e-mail. He can tell you in much more detail than I can as I don't know the nitty gritty involved in this.

    His contact is on the link in my original post and just say you are from the 300zx forum and what parts you are after. He will reply you as to whether he can get it or not and the price.

    Hi guys!

    I'm alv's mate. We been mates since like forever. Have always loved the 300zx, but my heart will always lie with the MR2 hehehe. Hope i'm not breaking any of the forum trading rules as I am not a trader. I'm basically just getting a whole bunch of ppl's parts together and shipping them over! I do it maybe once a year because I'm a sucker for punishment lol.

    I have some contacts on the supra forum so they are also part of this group shipping in that thread: http://www.supraforums.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=53453
    And obviously the MR2 thread that Alv posted earlier.

    Please email me requests to dylmah@gmail.com. Ideally you'll include your contact details, what you want, specifics on it (e.g. size/width/offset for wheels) and your budget so it can be determined where to start looking for you. Can source used or new, but the savings normally come on 2nd hand parts.

    As i'm not 100% familiar with the 300zx aftermarket world would appreciated it if you could include a picture of anything you're after (e.g. a spoiler). If its wheels just a model number will do (e.g te37s or LM GT4s etc).

    Email and I will find out price and availability for you.

    But that is still cheaper than Import monster for yahoo goods, plus shipping is a damn sight better for shipping big items, as we can ship things that import monster can't even fit.

    ETA is late August ~ mid September, but with these things you can never be certain, hence the big variance in the time line.

    Are other things possible besides car stuff?

    Any items possible? (non car ie food) EMS is killing my father in law send stuff over. Of course its no trouble getting it to you so there is minimal effort on your part

    You will likely run into a minefield of red tape if you try to bring in foodstuffs, as you will incur the wrath of the Quarantine Service(and if you think Customs is tough, you ain't seen nothing yet).:eek::eek::eek:

    Yeah, i'd rather not deal with anything that quarantine customs are going to have an issue with. If you want golf clubs, musical instruments etc happy to help you there.
