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 saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • 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.
