in my experience ..150+ imported...never seen any of them in person before purchase..using auction sheet only..it depends on the auction house ..some are seller orientated and a COUPLE !!! are buyer biased ..which are the only ones i buy from now

ie. if i ever meet the guy who grades cars at JAA tokyo i`m gonna kick him in the nuts.. :(

it can work for you, but if bidding on-line i would only even personally buy cars 4.5B or better. but dont you have a buyer placing bids for you at the auction house and he is inspecting for you? I didnt mean you personally inspecting them. I have a guy inpsect the cars for me, but if i wanted to i could just bid on the cars based on sheet and pics on-line and have someone collect them for me, that is what i meant by buying without inspecting.

i know what you are talking about beer_baron when i was sourcing my 33 from Japan the people i was getting to source the car said oh we got this immaculate 33 auction grade 4.5 low km's etc etc i was like sounds good go have a look at it. They get back to me and say nope we wont be bidding on this one for you it has some pretty bad rust in under one of the wheel arches ??? now how the fark can that be auction grade 4.5 it pisses me off that they can be so careless at times when dishing out grades for cars :D */end rant*

it depends on the auction house,i`ve seen cars that are graded 4.5 AA at 1 auction reappear at another house graded 3.5 B C ..some are honest graders and some are blatent liars ...it has taken me years to work out which is which not to mention a fair bit of money as well :D

Really?

Check out this '91 GT-R then (grade 3.5!)

As I type this;

5,328.00 USD = 7,175.00 AUD

Even with everything that gets added to FOB price to get in on the road here, that'd still be cheap.

I should have waited, perhaps.

Can you get pictures for this site?

    • Hi. This is just my curiosity because iam sure the tuner figure something out...but either way i want to ask. The "problem" is that the Nistune ECU (Stagea FW and RB25DET NEO from Stagea) sees many times the speed than the speedo does(he says the speedo show 120 km/h - correct speed and the ECU shows like 510km/h ) I told him that this car/tranny getting speed from rear diff. If iam not mistaken the RB25DET NEO "need" to see tranny speed sensor? (my tranny has the plug for it). So couple of "question" If he connects/wire the speed sensor to the tranny...are the signals gonna intervene and if...what if he disconnects the rear diff one and the speedo stops working? Or the "new" sensor from the tranny "take over" and will not going need the one from diff? As i said i know he figure/get that done...iam just curious to know what are the solutions 🙂 
    • Your IACV is set to idle too low. You need to adjust it via the screw Duncan mentioned. From memory it should be 650rpm with the valve electrics unplugged. What is it trying to idle at with the IACV plugged in?
    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
