Never bought clothes from the states in my life dude, so dont know. Lucky enough to know someone good in the UK.

Always been stung for charges when getting car parts from there tho, never got away with it once!

Was just curious as usually can find reasonable prices in the UK, would be nice to exploit the $2-£1 though

Took it for an MOT a min ago, and...

It failed

On almost nothing though, and the 2 things it failed on i knew about, and if i wasnt such a eejit idve fixed em first

Indicators flash too fast.
No rear foglamp.

Thats it

Ill fix them tomorrow, get them retested, get an MOT

LOT more work to fit the Skyline engine and box than I imagined too, and nicely done it seems as well.

Subframe has been cut and welded to make it fit, as have engine and gearbox mounts of course, and bulkhead has been "massaged" with a massive hammer quite a lot too

My fave thing though was giving the car a bit of a raping in the Industrial Estate where the MOT place is, it smokes em good

i prefer bare metal so you can give them a polish easier to repair when they're kerbed aswell they look the nuts though

Ill have a closer look for you in a bit mate, let you know either way.

Right, just got a foglight, semi done that bit.

Indicators still confuse me though as im crap with electrics.

Got some 1986 VW Polo bumper indicators as they fit right and got a big bulb, hoping the extra current draw would slow indicators down, but they dont light up?!
Currents deffo coming in and back out the 2 wires (as can daily chain side repeaters in to it and they light when its plugged in), but bulbs dont light?
Tried 2 seperate ones, and 2x E30 BMW ones, none work, but other bulbs will (but they all side repeaters so no good), so whats that about? Have some cars got different ways that the bulb wiring works or something?

Also, could it be a relay problem? Or when they break do they just stop working?
Can hear relay clicking real fast, but when put hazards on that relay clicks normally, making me think its a different one for that.
Not like i even know where the relays are

You should of known that! Thats the only thing you HAVE to do to get a Jap import through MOT, (other than rectification work).

Good news it doesn't need any parts though
