Well Yahoo have gone and turned away more customer's with their bizzare policies. They no longer accept foreign credit cards to sign up for new auction accounts and old auction accounts can not change to foreign credit cards either.

Making it harder on Aussies.

but 90% of the auctions dont ship international, so even if you sign up, what is the point?

not exactly revolutionary... you'll have to match or better rates that other ex-pats offer... and rinkya. the margins are so low these days its usually not worth the headaches.

that and when the retarded AUD does shit like this it sure doesnt help either...

LOL at the current rate being well off the bottom of the graph!

still if you do some research and make some contacts you can see how much margin rinkya, nengun and greenline have and can undercut them.

Is a personal import from japan into Australia permissible for any car.

Or put another wa,y will DOTRS in Canberra issue an import certificate for any car, eg diesal/petrol.

Can I stay in Japan but send the vehicle to oz ,or must I arrive before the vehicle?

I am sure the link with ebay will fall to bits due to people without money to pay for items winning them. It is the main problem I have had dealing with Australians. It is easy to spot an overseas buyer as they usually have a lot of bad feedback with cancellations. My record is clean so far but I had a number of "headaches" from SAU members who seemed to think that I was running a layby scheme under the bonnet of their cars.

It is interesting that a number of auctions now specifically say "if you are foreign or can't speak Japanese don't bid"

Had to sign up to get the info... :banana:

Import Monsters fee – Minimum 2500yen, then 25% of the purchase price up to a maximum of 25000yen. So even if you bid 500000yen, the maximum fee you will pay is 25000yen

its good... if you dont like money! LOL

I guess they have a lot of ppl to pay so that kind of operation would cost a lot to run, not hard to undercut them by a fair margin though.

Well here it is... my first ever bilingual auction!

I am not sure how I can find it through eBay but it had a seperate part for an English description.

http://page22.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/l5001090

yea looks orite i guess, but you had to type that out in English didnt you? so it doesn't translate plain Japaneses text :banana:

unless most sellers actually start shipping internationally its still crap.

Actually it does have the option to translate the text automatically, but obviously that is limited by the quality of the translation software.

Hehe, if anyone has seen your car Streeter they will know you really should charge more... :banana:

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By wizlb · Posted

      Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.

      What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
