So we're on a never-ending quest to find good parts to sell, however, we keep running into things we're not sure you guys would be interested in. I thought it would be a good idea to ask everyone what they want so we can focus our efforts a bit.
To start off, is there any interest in 4.3 ring/pinion sets and GT-R seats? Any ideas about what we should be looking for and even what we shouldn't bother with would be greatly appreciated.
Also, would there be any interest in a Yahoo Auctions/Up Garage broker service? We actually provide this for a few select customers at the moment, but we were considering opening it up to everyone.

How timely is your shipping? Do large items have to cross on a boat?

Is this only the Garage Defend cooling panels that people are interested in or anything that style?
Edaciousx - We're actually working on that now. We created a Goods section on the website and are hoping to have it filled to the brim with some interesting stuff. We have a bunch of Young Version magazines going up soon and I just ordered a box of K1-Planning DG-5 mechanics gloves.

Speaking of Yashio Factory. Is it just me or have they been quiet lately? Haven't heard anything new from them.

Parts can arrive in as soon as 3-5 business days, but only if they fit within Japan Post maximum dimensions/weight restrictions.
Larger items like aero kits and full exhausts have to be shipped via container as Fed Ex and DHL rates are outrageous.

Do you have any Car Boy magazines laying around as well?
GTR-Garage
05-29-2013, 02:59 PM
Yes, we have Car Boy, Autoworks, Rev Speed, Drift Tengoku, Option, Option 2, GTR Magazine, Young Version and D2D. I actually have a box full of old Battle Magazines, but I haven't found it yet.
Our plan was to throw a random issue in with every order, but if someone wanted a specific issue I can try to find it.

Okachan was involved with the Drift Muscle series and has been doing stuff with Hot Version. I think he has been competing in Time Attack as well pretty frequently. They have a new R35 airflow kit available and an upgraded SR ignition harness which is supposed to work well.

I very much liked how you organized and sold the magazines in a batch of 12 issues for that year. It makes the purchase more pleasing knowing that the buyer gets the whole 12 month issue for that specific year. It's hard to depict each magazine one by one and judge by its cover if its good or not. But at least we get the complete set for that year and era.

Maybe I haven't looked hard enough. lol, I have not gotten a chance to watch the most recent Hot Version DVD's when Keiichi Tsuchiya went his separate ways with Video Option and D1GP. "I could be wrong".
But I do remember back when D1GP held their last event of 07 in the US. After one driver of Team Orange was disqualified in the D1GP Chicago's Solders Field Drift event for not obeying judges orders to get off the starting line. There's a story for that later on, but one of the start line flagers claimed his foot got ran over by Team Orange after he drifted around the guy who was pointing for him to go back into the pit area. Later on I saw him in the ambulance. That was a complete lie, I had everything on camera and this foot was never even close to the car. But Team Orange got a huge penalty fine anyway. If I find the video I'll upload it on youtube.

Hard to find Silvia DCC parts would be great. Things like the blend door motor, resistor, and head units. Stateside if someone has a complete setup they will not part it out and the parts I mentioned hardly ever pop up for sale in isolation.

A bit of an update in regard to D-MAX. We've been speaking to Mr. Taniguchi and there is a possibility of getting LDH floor mats again. We should know more early next week.

That doesn't seem like a bad deal, S15 seats a possibility as well?

I actually passed on a pair of blue Spec-R seats because I wasn't sure if they were worth picking up. We would have had to get them sold for around $420 shipped to make it worth the investment and I just wasn't sure if there was a market for them.

i think youre on point with the 4.36 gearing. s13 cooling panels would be cool too, from signal but i think those are discontinued. R32 seats are popular due to its bolsters and comfort. and jdm side mirrors ganador/east bear etc.

Is it only the carbon cooling panels that you guys are interested in? Other than Garage Defend the only ones I know of are Defend knock-offs that aren't much cheaper. We would just sell that genuine Defend panels, but they weren't very willing to give us any discount. To make any money on them we would have to sell above MSRP. However, there are plenty of aluminum cooling panels available from D-MAX, GT-1, etc..

Renova and garage defend are the only cooling panels I've seen for zenki that cover the whole front.

I was at 326 Power a few weeks ago and they didn't have any 326 wings. Or they just didn't want to sell me one. I see them come up occasionally and I'll make sure to grab the next one I come across.

For LHD mats we have to order complete front/rear sets. These are the color choices they gave us:
Red/Black Checker
Blue/Black Checker
Light Grey/Black Checker
Dark Grey/Black Checker
We're still nailing down the final price, but we're expecting to be able to sell a complete set for $270.

Not bad at all for the price. It is about the same when they were sold here in the states for the full set. Back a few years ago, the guy who was distributing Dmax said if there was a demand for checkered trunk mats. He would put a custom order in for them. I suppose this is a far fetched question to ask you the same?

I think the price on the GTR seats is a good deal. I have a set in my car and absolutely love them. +1 of the R32 / R33 seats.
