Aftermarket parts for the Z

[xMaximus]

Hey guys, Just got my Z a few weeks ago! digging it.

Just a general question for us Aussie owners, Where abouts do you all source your aftermarket parts from? is there any decent vendors here in aus or do you mainly just have to purchase from the US?
Looking to maybe upgrade a few things but hoping some reliable vendors either within aus decent internationals that you have had good business with?

Cheers everyone

I bought my HKS exhaust and suspension from https://yakuzamotorsport.com.au/ and they also did installation for me as they're here in Sydney. They seem to have a few different things for the Z now compared to when I was buying. Not sure how much shipping would be to Perth though.

I'll be keeping my eye on this thread as i too am keen to know.
The only "mod" I've done so far is getting rid of that ugly ass front number plate Plinth.
It's from Flow Brackets.... not cheap, but a really nice fix and i was too lazy to create something myself.

A few parts from import monster for me

Aaron is great.

Some for Z1 but they did the dodgy and double down on charging me gst.

And trip to nismo factory in Japan earlier this year so I could carry home.

Got most of my stuff from JustJap and Z1 , Wheels on order from Import Monster, exhaust from Boostlogic, supporting suspension mods from GKTech, and installed by Shockworks (they sell coilovers too)

Z1 make decent stuff? They do seem alot cheaper than the rest, so wasn't sure but alot of people do seem to use them! so will check them out!

I know their Heat exchanger on Z1 is like 5-600 bucks compared to AMS one and others they are roughly like 1400?

The only things I really got that was Z1 Made was the Oil Catch Can, Aluminum active baffle oil pan, aluminum skid plate and coolant pump upgrade. You can also order non Z1 branded stuff too. Like the stillen swaybars and titanium dress up bolts

Keep in mind, that if you order from the states and ship to aus, the custom fees will kill you. I think its a FedEx thing, so maybe use UPS. When i ordered the Boostlogic Exhaust, i didn't get murdered with an extra $1000AUD in customs, using UPS

oh yes, and i got my AMS Intercooler, Heat Exchangers, HFC Cats, Intakes and BC Racing DS-DS Coilovers from JustJap.com

Ah man I didn't even think about shipping.
It's gonna cost an arm and a leg to get a hks exhaust over here then isn't it.... :-/

I forgot about just jap! Thanks I'll check them out

Also howd the upgrades go for you in terms of cooling?(coolant pump upgrade and heat exchanger and etc. See a significant drop in temp?

And how's the boostlogic exhaust sound? Don't think I've heard that one

Im sure you can get the HKS here

https://yakuzamotorsport.com.au/product/hks-full-dual-muffler-catback-exhaust-nissan-rz34-400z/

Don't know yet, going to install them with a buddy this Friday

as for Exhaust sound, I had originally got installed with Catless DPs, but ran into issues with it being WAAAAY too loud and raspy, no back pressure resulting in a Turbo oil leak scare, and unpleasant smoke issues.

went for the High flow cats instead, and it remedied all of the problems.

ill post a video of the updated mods in abit

actually heres a link to the thread

Ah awesome man!

Really appreciate the advice/help! Btw!
Still got my little forged s14 in the garage I used to work on all the time. But been driving a navara for last 10 years and I have appeared to have retained 0 knowledge about anything import anymore lmao.

I know it's hks and for a brand new car but dang 5k stings ooosh!

 

[Resnort]

Yeah $5k+ for an exhaust and I'll get something built locally instead.

I too had forgotten Justjap exist

 

[Resnort]

Got an wing and exhaust (on the way) from boosted6. Postage was reasonable and they had a sale on.
Here is the duckbill, which i thing looks great. It's just a subtle change and carbon fiber. I will post about the exhaust when it arrives and gets installed. The prices were too good to resist... even if i didn't thing about import duties etc.
