I'm currently looking for one wheel as I broke one of mine, there are currently none in stock in New Zealand but have found one on Yahoo Auctions in japan but I have never used it before, is it safe to use? Has anyone used it before? Just want to know how others have found it before I go spending my money

I dont think you can registration in Japan yahoo, they need japan local address to verify, but you can use buyee.jp, what they do, is they help you to bid the item, and sent the item to you, but you have to pay buyee fee, local postage from buyer size -> buyee and international postage buyee->you. I have been using alot since 2 years ago, but you still have risk as you never know what will happen.

moonlight racing offer a service for buying through yahoo auctions. I don't know how much they charge...

I ordered some 2nd hand lowering springs for my daily, expected arrival end of this month which would make it about 8 weeks from paying to receiving the goods.

Murphy's law though....after i ordered and paid for them I found the same springs, brand new, shipped via DHL for only $50 more than what i have paid and i would have got them within a week or two.

My opinion is that it's a great service he provides, but not the cheapest or fastest. You pretty much pay three fees, the auction fee, paypal fee and then i'm guessing Moonlights fee as well.

Another example is a used front Cusco strut brace i found on Yahoo....through Moonlight it was going to be $235 shipped once all the fees were added, i found brand new via another site for $245 shipped.

I know Up Garage ship worldwide and to NZ through a 3rd party site that is owned and run by them. Haven't bought anything yet but might do in the next month or so and see what its like.

Get in touch with Fortyone, he does source some stuff through there, takes the risk out of it that way too.

They work via proxies anyway (I.e you'd pay twice, essentially for nothing as no guarantees will be given if you get a wrong item), just register with fromjapan or buyee and do it yourself.

So this turned up today. Lowering springs for my Toyota Crown. Ordered via Moonlight Racing on the 15th March!!

Next time i will do my own ordering from Up Garage, at least then I won't have to wait 12 odd weeks again!

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
