Just as the topic says, i paid a visit to USS auctions out in Saitama (North of Tokyo). Getting there was quite a feat in it self as i don't have a car in Japan, but it was well worth it. From central Tokyo the ride is roughly an hour or hour and a half and does require some changing of trains, but as the pics show, its definitely a sight to see! I have to thank my mate Ibrahim for getting me out there as you're not allowed in unless you have a buyers pass I.D. or you're with someone who has one. So enough talk and let the pics do the talking!

We begin, and straight into the foreign big boys... On display in this little section were about 5/6 ferraris, a brand new V12 Benz and a Bentley Coupe...

Pardon my ignorance, but how does this USS Auctions deal work exactly?

Is this an "auto-dealer only" type thing where cars are bought and sold at wholesale prices or can the general public get involved too?

Those Datsun Fairlady Z's are calling my name!

So, if I understand correctly, you pay a fee to be able to buy cars and then you're allowed to purchase, correct?

What's the membership cost roughly and are any of these cars worth a piss or have they been thrashed about or are theft recoveries?

Thanks

that website that was posted aka Japan Auto Direct looks to be like a middle man or agent for those vehicles which are available from USS auctions.. Not USS auctions themselves. To get an 'account' or 'membership' or i guess purchasing access direct with USS i believe you have to own/run a business and prove that, then wait some time for all the paper work and then be able to buy... The auctions are not open to the public.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
