what would be the FOB price if i do look at getting everything totaling max 21-22k? - if i know the FOB price ill just look around for some before i make any moves for a broker, but ill definitely need one....as you can tell I'm a very hard customer very picky....very compulsive that's why the million questions and endless reading of info....plus I'm a uni student and as we all know were suck ass at making some dough for a living and struggle to get a job so 22k is a lot for me, so thanks for grunting this out with me so far and for the replies its been alot of help. ill still be searching just need that FOB price if im totaling 22k :P :P

thanks again guys. just been awesome

You're gonna have to find one at auction because your budget is so tight - forget looking around at dealers or other websites. as they're either cars that don't exist, or over-priced rubbish. Most of the guys on here will have access to a number of sources, none of which are available to the average internet surfer.

We all know your budget - let whichever broker you choose do the calculations in yen for you accordingly. And remember that beggars can't be choosers :)

kk i guess not... il save calling brokers for tomorrow, ill try to look around and yeah.

i found this one but since you said it might be gone i dunno, maybe it would cost me 23k if its 1.18mil fob, as 1mil fob would cost around 21-22k. :P ...

1180000, is pushing it? chance of getting it between 21-22k maybe 23k??

As i said before, 1.2m yen is about $26K++

There is no chance in hell that 1.18 will be 23k.. Unless the AUD:YEN gets back up to 85. You could be waiting a while.

i wonder if that translates to there is repair and when it gets here for compliance I crush it into a cube for you.....

That's pretty much what it means, yes.

:P

You can't have your cake and eat it too. Dealers spend a lot of their own money bringing cars in from Japan - they're not going to give them away for the same money (or less even) it costs to import them.

hey guys big news, according to bbc

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8058708.stm

record plunge, up to 74 , so I'm wondering my price of 22k is getting more attractive and easier to come by and my v35 is closer reach now than ever.

nah let me kow whne it hits 104 again. it will make my inport bills from tokyo a LOT cheaper.

Ezy03,

keep dreamin or raise some more money . $22k for a coupe ain't gonna happen unless you happen to buy a wreck.

you will find that prices in japan will go up as the exchange rate drops and buyers have more yen to play with.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
