Anyone used Yahoo Auctions lately?

I bought me a used Power FC the other day, fantastic - got it for a steal!

Anyway, went back in today to bid on something else.. and they have changed the rules. You now have to become a 'premium' member to bid on anything over ¥5000!

This means giving Yahoo your credit card number and paying ¥294 a month for the rest of you life.

This sux. Bugger you Yahoo Japan :)

yahoo membership has always been free of monthly fees. I think from memory it cost me a few hundred yen when I first signed up (years ago) but you never had to pay monthly fees. I gave them japanese credit car but never really had it billed for anything since I've never sold anything on yahoo.

are you a premium member? if so then you are paying the monthly fee.

you've always had to pay a once off fee, but the new "premium user" scheme is a variant on the old put your credit card in, pay a once off and off you go scheme.

Its been around for a couple of months now from memory, definitely not a year. We've got a premium account now, otherwise we couldn't bid on cars :)

I think some high price auctions allow you to still bid on em if you're not a premium user though, if the seller pays extra... not really sure on the details.

It has always been a monthly based fee. About a year ago or so they introduced a campaign where it was free to make an account (with no monthly fees) and in July they changed the rights of the `free` users to a limit of 4,999yen bids. So it depends when you signed up as Yahoo always have campaigns coming and going. Usually its a 294yen (~$3 AUD) a month fee to be a premium(non restricted) user.

you can open an account pretty easily, but you'll just end up getting a bad rating when you try to communicate with the seller in english, or you spring that "i'm in australia, can you post international" on them.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
