Yeah mate, I'm well aware of the proximity of it all...without question...however if that was the case, it still does not explain why he says he cannot ship the car out of Kanda - when your photos clearly state otherwise? Even still...he should advised us that is the case and I would have made alternate arrangements. Even a someone like me with no contacts at all and half a world away, I have found other options. Booking a truck at the cost of 180000Y to someone else, specifically after they have advised they will find their own freight...is beyond me.

"it will still be better if he can just load the car as a non-runner in kyushu" I agree completely. Originally when we bought the car, it was never intended to go in a container, as you'd all know, roro is the most common way, for good reason. My Aussie guy tried to get it sent straight out of Kanda, but the Japanese guy (located in Saitama) said it connot be done. You have proven otherwise, quite clearly. The Japanese/Saitama guy was acting on behalf of my Aussie guy, who was on behalf of me, if that makes sense. Mate, 30000, 50000 or 180000...it's not a hassle to me, I have the money...but I don't want to be ripped off over it...nor do I want that to happen to my Aussie guy either...he's a good mate of mine...he's sceptical too...but we have nothing to 'prove' ourselves otherwise

The guy I am getting the car through (Australian guy), has a shipping container in Tokyo and that's why the Japanese guy (i.e. the one that tells me it'll cost 180000Y to get it to Tokyo) wants to send it there, so it will effectively come via container, not roro. The Japanese guy told my Aussie guy that roro is not an option at Kanda, which beer Baron clearly has shown otherwise. Now, I will send him the link to this thread... Of note, the guy in Australia I am using I trust 100% and have bought many, many things from.through him. It's the guy in Japan, or his freight contact that I am sceptical of. btw, Beer Baron and Carizma - thank you for your contribution to this thread, as with m3gtr - you've all been invaluable help thus far.

That definitely seems to be the most conveneint. Do you know if roro is available from Kyushu, for non-running cars? Do you have anyone in Japan I can get to be contacted to organise this? PM me if need be. The bill of lading is not required...

Hey David, thanks for the post and help - much appreciated. The car itself is sound, I won it via Yahoo and had it looked into before bidding. byt this "had to get rid of the car quickly" I mean he could not hold onto the car for the extra day or so it would take me to organise an alternate arrangement to the 180000Y shipping option. So you suggest I get it trucked from f*kuoka to osaka and get it sent here roro? The car is not damaged at all, it's complete and fine, but not running. Failing this, how can I get in contact with an English speaking Customs Agent in Japan? Any ideas? This all might be too little, too late...but I'm losing sleep over it and it's really doing my head in.

Why and how badly is obvious, when you realise how rare the car is, which further leads me to the point of me possibly being ripped off. That said, while I agree it being a non-running car makes it more troublesome, there is a very big difference between 30,000Y and 180,000Y. Apparently the seller "had to get rid of the car quickly" and I have little choice but to accept the 180000Y shipping 'quote' - although I have not paid for it as yet. What I am trying to do is get a quote through other means to validate either claim. Is it a coincidence that my advised 'maximum' bid is within 10000Y of the total cost claimed by the guy in Japan? Also, this is the first time my Australian guy has used this guy in Japan for such things. Maybe this "japanese merchant thieves" is not far from the truth - and that is what I'm trying to find out.

I agree with you entirely! That said, the guy in Japan is seemingly doing myself and my Melbourne guy over on this - can you suggest anyone that can assist with this at all? Any leads would be great...I just hope it's not too late...180000Y is not chump change...it's a fair bit of coin I assume ro-ro = roll on, roll off...which it cannot do as it's not running, and I'm not sure 180000Y will be enough to get it running...have no idea what's wrong with it.

Ah Beer Baron, forever the source of information, I was hoping you'd reply to this thread. Here's some info that might clarify things: - The car is not a Skyline, it's not even a Nissan, and it's coming here as a classic vehicle (1973 model) - Yes, the guys bring it in for me have it sorted, but they have never bought a non-runner from f*kuoka to Tokyo and the price they've given me is off the chart, compared to what another person I know has paid - As it is a non-runner, shipping it here in a container is the most cost effective option - It apparently can't be shipped directly out of Kenda as it is not a 'usual' pick up point and will end up costing more I hope that clarifies some things - I just need a figure on transportation of a non-runner from f*kuoka to Tokyo so I can verify if I am being ripped off or not. To put it into perspective, a friend had his car transported and that cost him 30000Y, the quote I have is for 180000Y - now you can see why.

Hi all, I have just purchased a car in Japan and am needing to get it freighted from f*kuoka Prefecture to Tokyo, in order to be shipped to me. The car is not running...is anyone here able to provide me with a quote in anyway? If so, the relevant company etc would also be appreciated. Any help would be much appreciated...I need this relatively urgently. Feel free to PM if need be. Thanks in advance, Chris

Tough package, the torque would be phenomenal! Out of sheer curiousity, when does it make boost? Good luck with the sale mate! Cheers, Chris

I believe it might be sold: http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...=266841&hl=

Sounds like a sweet ride with an even sweeter interior...would be even better if there were some pics of it...

Free bump for one of the cheapest and neatest daily's you'll find...

Thanks nuffsaid - I too thought they were Axis but they 'only' go up to 19in, and the ones in the pic above are 20s. Any ideas?

R33. I currently own two cars, both auto and this is after owning 20+ manual ones - and I'd never own another auto again. The gearbox difference makes the decision a simple one. (and that's taking into account my favourite Skyline IS an R34 4 door).

Hey guys, Spotted this car in the forsale section and really like the wheels on it. I have PM'd the owner and also posted in his thread to no response. Does anyone know what these are or where I could get them from? They're definitely a local looking wheel...any constructive help would be great. Thank you in advance, Chris

Heaps of pics added

Up

As per my PM (which you never replied to), I would consider buying the wheels if you'd separate. That might help with your sale, PM me if you want to sell. Good luck with your sale. Cheers, Chris

NO swaps please.

eBay is ghey...they didn't like 'JZX100' as a keyword...anyway, I'll relist it this week, been flat out with work. Until then, $9950.00 is the FINAL price drop.
