The site which we used to use up until 09/2008 was amayama- they dont appear to be active now. Look them up on google at one stage used to show a photo of car. Was a great way of finding out if your broker or whoever was acting for you to purchase at auctions was being honest- no none of them were. Example- bid 1m yen you got it for 1m yen then find out it sold for 700000 yen plus their fee of 100,000 yen an extra 200,00 yen to them. Just a game which you play.

If you can buy it here and look at it-touch it-drive it and the price is reasonable after doing some research why pay two commissions to a broker here and their agent in japan who actually buys the car and organises shipping (usually 100,000 yen which is ok as he does 95% of work) Just a little advice as the two commissions have just added a minimum $2k to your dream car,

If the owner didn't sell at that money, he's on crack...

I second that, I gave a reputable import a budget for a car. I won it and they told me they bought it for just in my budget. I ended up finding out what it really sold for and they had fluffed up the price quite a bit. When confronted about it they told me someone in the office had made a mistake. I never bought a car from them again.

So yeah, it would be great if you could see how much cars where selling for.

I saw 1,000,000 yen FOB mark up on a Blue R34 GTR a while back, spammed out by the usual so would love to know the kick back on that one.

I've got access to everything coming up that's no problem, I just can't give MY access out to my clients so they can search through the auctions themselves... I don't mind doing it for them, it's just that most of them want to search for themselves.

    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
