update: Slow_sr20 pm'd me a link to some dank Bomex skirts, when i first checked the tracking it said ETA was the 15th before I went to bed it said the 10th I woke up and it said it would be here today! Now I will have 100% authentic aero and can scrap my replica Bomex skirts (or modify and spray with the rest of the car). Not grumpy about this but I guess I haven't gotten em yet, hopefully they arrive intact.

CA is a pretty cool state but there is definitely some funky legislation that goes down there, which I think every state has in one way or another. I find it the be extremely prejudicial and lame but it is what it is. In some aspects I can understand the need to take care of some issues, but the way they went about is stupid. I guess that's government for ya. As far as the fines go, i'm pretty sure there is a way to waive or reduce the fines if you fall within a certain income bracket. Idk who keeps giving these idiot importers money. Just the other day I saw some fiasco about a midwest importer having his r34 "stolen", turns out his investor went and cleaned up shop. Dude was decieving his investor on numerous levels and got shafted. I hear a lot of importer drama and it's always sad. I wish someone would throw me 6 figures and see what would come out of it. But i'm mostly self made, meh meh. I wanted to get into importing cars from JP but it doesn't make much sense to import cars sight unseen and wait 2 months for them to get here and spend another 2 months repairing them and prepping for sale...then however long it takes to sell.

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

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. |

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

Howdy all!
I'm an assholes, old school and grumpy most days! 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 Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk |

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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

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.

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.

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.

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.
