    Went to another Toyota dealer today. What a laugh. After being told "we usually move people on who want import stuff, it just isn't worth it" when i pulled out a JDM build plate, he made a bit more effort.

    Mind you I was in there for more than 20 minutes whilst he wrung his hands, pulled his hair, cursed and swore etc etc . Yes I am serious.

    Anyway, the guy is trying to order a few things in. Apparently he requests an order from Sydney who then see if it is available via japan and then list it which enables the order to proceed! Sigh.

    Anyway, have tried to order the burgundy clock bezel (colour 02 has been superceded by 12). Have actually ordered 2 as they are only $12 each and the dash will surely come out again sometime in the future. And if it is this hard to order them.....

    Have also ordered the 5 tooth speedo gear per Jonny's other speedo drive thread. The 22 tooth plastic gear on shaft was available (2 in Brisbane) but cost $49 so i might have a look at a few KE70's first.

    I have finally sourced some 14 inch Intra wheels (factory 14 x 6's) and am trying to order the Toyota caps that fit them. They may be a bit of a challenge.

    Anyway shall update this when I hear back in about three weeks.

    This is also the procedure I have been told. Congratulations for getting a parts guy to order from Sydney, you are on the way to success! And I can order the same parts once on the system
    With all the imported diffs, you maybe the first in Australia to order the speedo gears!

    Im in Hobart. The local dealer is CO-OP Toyota. I have worked as a mechanic there. Even as a mechanic, I had to give one parts boy a 6 pack of Jim Bean once. Ended up getting the parts manager to look something up himself, and still had to give the boy his bourbon. So frustrating

    I think it was Rob. He would point to random objects and say "why don't you put a 4A-G in that Jon", till someone kicked him in the nuts. He has moved on to service reception now. I won't name the current parts guys.
