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.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
