Call me a grumpy asshole but that's a pretty racist thing to say.

You wouldn't be saying that if you ever been there. Then again I wish that country would buck up and control all the damn red-light districts, it's just straight up disgusting and you'd understand why I said what I said.

Stuff i'm grumpy about.

I posted up a set of wheels for sale on some fb groups tonight. They were off my mom's car, so I'm not even making anything. I've had over a dozen morons ask me if they'll fit their car, or ask what cars they will fit. Or assuming they fit their car until I see a picture/I ask what they drive. Then the lowballers, but that part doesn't bug me. How do you not know your bolt pattern, or at least know how to google it? I'm just some stranger on the internet, what if I just say they fit and play you? Lol


Also-- a lot of zilvians give off the vibe that they got picked on too much in school. I don't get why people have to act pretentious. Social skills are really easy to develop if you try. At the end of the day we're all a bunch of nerds driving hair dresser cars.

Take it from someone that currently lives here and regularly ships seats: his price is fucking out there. Kris is going for gold every time he posts AKA aiming for the one, true moron that just joined.

JDM is pretty much dead for me. I had long hoped that cheap imports would revigerate my. love and interest... But then I see $16k GTS-Ts, $35,000 GTRs and $25,000 FD3S' and I'm all "naw fam, I'm good".

Hmm junked out RB20 R32... or C5 Corvette...

Hmmmm

I'm honestly surprised it wasn't between an R32 and some Mustang variant.

Dude this is the age of ask-the-seller-even-though-Google-is-free.

...and just ignore those people man. That's one of the more useful skills I've learned in the military: the picked-on kids that find some cajones will make the most noise.

Also, is it an S-Chassis specific paint code? Better be Lavender Frost.

You'd think with the advantageous currency exchange they would be a tiny bit more modest lol


Honestly, i'd rather have an r32 or some sort of Mustang over a c5. I don't really like how they feel. C6, that I can get with though.


As far as dumb customers...i've never had it this bad. EVER. Well, almost this bad both times I sold an R32. This is why I don't like selling cheap shit and only stick to a handful of suspension companies and a dozen or so wheel brands. Most of the time I can sort of understand the questions my clients ask even if it may seem stupid to most. These people are just....really really really dumb and shouldn't be modifying cars lol.

I honestly didn't write that about anybody in particular, just a thought that crossed my mind. I've met a lot of really awesome people through here, sucks to see a lot of the good personalities gone. Now y'all are stuck with dumbies like me and idiots who think weed actually makes you lazy, lol. Lazy people are lazy.

its the shipping costs due to large packaging size... ive seen S13 kouki seats all over YAJ for a few hundred bucks. its just getting them stateside thats a bitch if you dont have an importer who uses containers to ship.

I do notice anything S-chassis and R-chassis related parts being sold out of Thailand have incredibly high pricing on forums AND on eBay.

Pricing on R-Chassis stuff is out of control, people are asking 30k+ for bone stock series 1 BNR32s. I swear the GTR crowd is worse than the 240sx groups now, jerking each other off about vinyl "skyline" inlays on their rear bumpers.

I get that he's out of Thailand but it seems Kris is always high on his valuation of his parts, not to mention he's not all that pleasant to deal with.

Bought a set of wheels and front and rear set of cusco strut braces off of YAJ.

Ended up being roughly double what I won it for after broker fees and shipping through streeter.

[zenkicpe]

So all of the old grumpy people on Silvia are grumpy because of expensive used/jdm parts?

i dont know why you guys insist on using him... just sign up for a damn buyee account on YAJ. outside of front bumpers and side skirts i import (of which i have an importer ive been using for years bring my large items over), i ship everything via buyee. my advans ran me a whole $400 shipped to my door in 4 days with buyee using EMS. a set of valances costs me a whopping $65 to my door. everything is repackaged by buyee and they do a DAMN good job at packing things too.

[tuzzio]

I heard they have some pretty convincing looking lady boys over in Thailand. Whats better than anal and common sense?

[afishysilvia]

Streeter is good with packaging, I use him when buyee won’t let me buy because of a risky seller.

[jumpman2334]

this thread took a weird turn.

Hey “asshole”

Are you comparing the two properly?
Are we talking a junked out R32 from “T-mac” who is the second US owner or a grade F R32 from an importer?
Legit 25 year old Jdm imports coming through an importer will not cost the same as buying one used IN JAPAN. It doesn’t come over for free.

I agree that there are better ways overall to spend 20 grand, an r32 or a c5 is not a sound investment of your money.

At least he's talking Corvette's instead of mustang's tho

10 years ago you could get a GTR for $15k.


Shit got expensive and even older and more beat up is all I'm saying. All the while there are some amazing new cars out there. Hell you can get a SCAT Charger or Challenger for under $30k. Gt86's are dirt cheap, 350Zs for $5k...

You have to REALY WANT a JDM car to be porking $20-30k cash for one. Shit, 15 years ago you could buy a domestic FDS3 for $20k.

Update for those who care (none of yall): Those sideskirts came in within 24hrs of ordering them and were in decent enough shape. Car is going into paint tomorrow. I haven't told many people the paint color, but i'll tell y'all this: OEM Nissan color, very rare

Pretty much all car values went up though. Even beaters. 1. inflation 2. new car values are rising which causes used ones to rise as well.


Z's were lowering in value then started holding steady, and honestly all the bottom barrel Z's around me are going up in value cause cheap kids bought them and well, they got it for $3k + $1k in oil changes and cam sensors = $3500 firm 2 years later when they sell it.

You can lease a hellcat for $2k down, $600/mo. I thought that's pretty tempting.

I'm out of the jdm game, going back to what I know. Old American iron. Bought my grandfather's el camino last spring after selling my s14. I'm having more fun wrenching on the mullet of cars. It's ugly and I love it.

Dont want to go to crazy with it. Every rpo and body code point to this thing being pretty rare.
