You'll find any and every car in Japan.

Importers wont list much on their site, simply because on a daily basis, Japan auctions and sells hundreds of thousands of cars.

The way that part works is you tell an importer what you want, and they go and find as many of that as they can, and then you choose.

Price of the vehicle is the only major variable, shit like import costs, compliance, rego etc is around the same, dunno about AutoWorx, but Imports101 have a calculator on their site for that kind of thing.

Also look into ImportMonster, which now translates Yahoo Auctions from Japan into English, and now has an importing service.

Depending on what you're after, you're probably better off buying locally.

Even something thats actually hard to find, like my Cefiro for example, can be found with enough patience.

Dont rush it and buy the wrong car, and definately dont be one of those idiots who imports a bog stock Skyline and claims they have an "imported JDM drift spec" model, first owner, etc.

Dont think it's anybody on here.

Dont buy that one. If you want all show/bling and dont care about performance, buy a stockie and work it up. No racism intended, but Ive seen alot of sales of Imports from Middle Eastern (ie, "Saaid" as per the link you gave) sellers go sour pretty quick. Forums like this one would be more reliable for buying locally.

That CarSales one might be a legit find though, dunno. I wouldnt pay $17000 for a seemingly stock R33 which apparently produces 350 RW Kws

Ahhh so you reckon its dodgy??

Yeah would rather buy off a forum user tbh and not some one who has just signed up to sell his/her car either....

But i would like to buy one with all the fruit too.....

I think once i have the cash in my hand/bank i will put up a wanted ad and see were that goes.....

I dont think its dodgey, but it doesnt show good signs. You can check it out, but its very unlikely to match its claims.

If your a n00b and dont know what 350rwkw feels like, dont bother.

If you want something with all the fruit you're definately better off here than CarSales, and aim for a GTR, or, atleast something thats not just a plain stock R33.

Why not buy a stockie and do mods yourself? Its a good way to claim "built, not bought", you learn alot about your car in the process, and to start with, even a stock R3x Skyline is a vast difference to a WRX, so you'd want to start with factory power and gradually grow it as you learn the car a bit more? You'll love your car more after doing that, opposed to buying somebody else's art and not understanding it. Just my two cents.

Plenty of help on this forum whichever choice you make.

Yeah true i suppose

I had a stage 1 tuned falcon xr6 turbo before the wrx and that was pushing out 300kw though but they are heavy....

Also had a few twin turbo cars ie a r33 gtr, supra rz, a 3000gto, to name but a few..

Yeah i get what ya saying buy it virtually stock and add my own bits but tbh for me thats the costly way of doing it i would rather just improve slightly on somthing thats already been modded....

Well if you've owned those cars you should be right without our help shouldnt ya?

Wouldnt be expensive man, unless you're paying labor for all the mods, but that defeats the purpose of doing the mods anyway. Alot of these "highly modded" prices include a labor value. My mate bought a Cressida for $4000 with the 1JZ in it already, he got it running and wanted $14'000 for it, actually offered me a mates rate of $11'000...

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
