again copy n paste img tage won't work

^^^that's more the one i'd appreciate an estimate on.. reason being the kms aren't insanely low.. pretty average.. but also has a sunroof so i can be a baller.

i mean estimates on both would be fantastic but yeah =)

PS - that's not to say i don't trust japaneseusedcars.com as a business - i'm sure they're very reputable however none of their auction data matches up with anything else that has to be paid for - but this website is all i have access to =P

okay. seriously you guys easy question here.. 1997 - 1999 soarer Gt-T model.white in good condition..

this is all i want to know. will it cost more or less - than $13,500. i've been asking how much money i should budget for a while now and nobody's given me anything so there it is - an actual monetary figure.. so now it's a yes or no answer

please

somebody

please answer my question like i'm serious have i don'e something wrong? if so i'm sorry!!

this is so i know whether or not to buy in aus or import from japan.. basically guy in NSW is selling a car i want and i reckon he'll come into my budget of $13500, but then i have traport costs on top, SO if importing can beat or match this figure landed n complied then i'll be happy to go with that

Edited by Mr Eps

Sorry mate, I literally got knocked off my feet after that last post - smashed my knee up!

$13500 for a 99 - can be done easily, just need to be patient for the right car. If you can get one here, you're happy with it and think it's a good clean, honest car without being made of 15 different cars - go for it.

  • 1 month later...

phil from directimported or possibly kristian can either of u pls get in touch with me somehow??? regarding subject matter??? phil i emailed u yesterday can one of u pls email me at [email protected] or call me on 0404 756 446 i dont wanna just go disturbing u guys outside of business hours but i wanna chat :blush:

bahahahahhahahaha that made me laugh a lot and another lot

well kristian - ... i don't really want to post up my wants list incase someone else buys it - but i suppose it's safe here being a skylines forum and nobody here is interested in a soarer i imagine

in short - this was put to sale the other day

link

in short - NSW - in that killer rare blue mica colour - manual VVTI turbo 15K. AWESOME car... but in NSW and exxy transport - this was decided because i was starting to think importing just isn't worth it... then lastnight - AFTER i made the thread about car transporting - by mistake - i found this one

this link here

and i simply want to make en enquiry about it to weigh up my options - because literally BOTH cars are my dream - auto or manual i don't care - the auto looks to be in slighttttllyyyy better condition but both cars are perfect it seems

but yes - this is why i "changed my mind" so yeah no lies i do change my mind but it's only cos i'm a hard shopper and i want the best deal for myself =)

Have you had a look at any local Soarers Eps? Like actually gone and seen/driven them? My mate picked up a nice example locally for cheap. Up in Queensland they go for dirt cheap.

Importing worked out cheap for me but both Soarers I brought in were held for quarantine and they charge YOU for them storing it at the dock during that time. Was a real bastard cause it could have been even cheaper without that.

How long did it get held for and why mate?

I've never had a scenario when AQIS have caused a hold up at the docks, provided all paperwork and so on is in order. And those rare instances where I have had to pay storage it's at $45 a day and never for more than a couple of days!

Yeah wat he said... wen i imported the cefiro the docks bloke hid it for me behind a container cos he thought i was a sikkarn for getting a cef... cost me nothing and he held it for a week for free all for love of the sport... but even if cost money not expensive in big scheme of things.... mind u this was about five or so yearz ago with 15year rule.. as i remember i think wwII was still on... i was definately doing the charlston so maybe times changed

and obviously i keep close watch of aus soarers. but im extremely selective...

I have even had a full on aus customs investigation mounted against one of my cars where they flew up investigators from melb to syd to poke and prod the car and take pics etc (was an R35 and nissan was putting pressure on them to find something wrong) and even then I think it was delayed a week and I might have had to pay 1 or 2 days of the storage if any.

usually the hold ups are caused by not having the customs entry or AQIS done on time. if you know what you are doing and have a good customs agent then these things can be easily avoided. :ermm:

    • 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.
