Thats great! Yes please. That is basically exactly what im after. Year, mileage and spec. Only thing id love to know is if it has an HK stereo. Apart from that, bang on.

I do understand theres a sales fee, plus the agent fee - namely you for example - and im aware 4 mil was the starting price so id be very interested to know what it went for. Keep me in mind, would you Laurence?

How possible do you think it is to get stock listings ahead of schedule? Or is it that you just rock up and try your luck, hoping theyll have something youre looking for?

If you are serious, lets have a PM on getting this moving. We'll be able to sort something out, im sure.

Cheers Laurence. :ermm:

Keep me in mind, would you Laurence?
I am always thinking of you :ermm:

Using the same website that Beer Baron did captures from I can search auctions, they only update it a few days in advance. But when I find a car I can post pictures like I did before.

well all auctions are only once a week so they start listing cars soon after the auction. usually though it's only really worth checking 24hrs before as by then the list is pretty compelte and all cars will have the reports. you definitely have to suss out cars you want to inspect before you head out. you need check what time it's approximately coming up so that you can order the cars you are looking at. each auction only lasts about 15 second and most places have at least 4 going at once so it's easy to f**k up and miss the car, so you need to get to the auction room in plenty of time. anyway, you don't need to worry so much about any of that. laurence will take care of all those problems, you just need to give him the dough!

It is also been interesting that lately (maybe I have just been noticing it more) people seem to "forget" to mention things on the auction sheets. So an in person inspection is always worth the trouble. Again, checking the auction sheets about a day before is best as cars get sold, pulled from auction, info gets changed, cars get added, etc, etc...

awww, shucks. :ermm:

So do you accept Brie as payment? :)

Seriously but, post away if you happen across anything. I dont know what you would charge to secure the car and this is a risk for me - im sure you understand. If you were to come to Tokyo and have the time, id take care of a few things for you, if you know what i mean but id also expect a few privileges in return.

Well, It sounds like a very hectic business that ive never seen first hand. And i would need to see it first hand before i do anything else...

We can visit Pink Gojira should be fun, if we can get you in a car it will make life wonderful for everyone in this forum! :ermm: N/AR(you know that guy) will be happy.

Anyway I am on holiday until Friday so I will stop talking car auctions until I get back the land of the blossoming cherry.

Ummmm... nothing :Phttp://www.pink-godzilla.com/

Actually until looking at that site it was just a love hotel, I thought you had to BYO. LOL.

oh, hey! *psst* its cool, just dont tell the missus. :mad:

The bloody thing sold for 65k.

retail is over 170.

Unfortunately it only started at 65k, and was passed in. We don't know what the reserve price would have been. They start lower than that so people can have fun pushing buttons.

Id love to push that button around this time next year. :P

How do you know it was passed in? It just says bidding is finished. Passed in as no one bid on it?

Because I have ultimate ninja spec USS access which ASNET doesn't have :mad:

It passed in at the start price, I don't know if one person bid or not.

cool, i see... anyways, Ill be waiting for the PM when you get back later this week. :P

Yes please get this guy a car! This is worse than Prison Break.. 4th season and still no ending.

Are they really that much cheaper? I spent 4 months searching all Auctions for my 6 and the prices vs. the unknown didnt end up worth while. I finally found a car from a dealer and took the bullet train down to Yamaguchi to purchase it. It ended up almost the same price but with 12 months warranty.

Something to factor in... the warranty. When something breaks in a Bimmer, and they do break cos they are shiet, they are costly..

Auctions are weird, to be honest I think a lot of the Ferraris and other ballermobiles go through purely on the whim of the owners. If they can make some money on them they will, but they probably don't really care about selling them.

You see the same Lorinser S65 7.2 biturbo mega-spec car getting passed in week after week, likewise with the Bentley and other cars that just don't get sold. I think they are just waiting on the day when someone with cash will pay "whatever it costs" for the car.

Just a theory I guess. But that is the only logical explanation I could think of.

p.s. LOL at buying a car from Yamaguchi... gangsta :yes:

Ahaha, well i didn't expect it to go on this long but i have had a lot of questions...on the go, you know? Prison break? At least its not LOST, lol.

BMW? Sheit? Well... dont know what to say there, I'm hoping i don't have to drive it THAT much to warrant a repair... How could something have gone wrong in the time you have owned it? I mean, the cars only 2 or 3 years old tops. I suppose buying from a dealer will add peace of mind, having a warranty will help but if an equal car comes up for less at an auction i would take a chance on it and use the money as a backup in case something did go wrong.

The more i save the better, Ken. After all, the train will be my normal mode of transport with the BM as a weekend car. And i can guess there wont be many opportunities to use the thing as a weekend car but i can always make an excuse to.

Besides you know im an alcoholic so my alcoholism wont exactly facilitate driving in a drunken stupor, or will it? I could be wrong! :yes:

(lol at the Yamaguchi gumi comment.)

By the way, Ken. You waited 4 months for the car...its driving me nuts after 2. Where is it going to come from i wonder?

The thing HAS to be this and it HAS to be that. No exceptions. I cant compromise on certain points...

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
