dude your links don't work..

hold on i'll do some snooping yeah?

try to right click the auction page then properties then post that link... cos your links blow dude

LInks fixed MR EPs. THanks!. Damnn if only i had more time im very interested in that auction grade 4 model, the bodykit and rear wing looks awesome.

okay i have looked around and cannot find any 1996 S supras coming up for auction in the coming days..

i can see a white 2001 SZR that has a starting bid of 680K

that particular car could go anywhere up to a million yen... i'd probably say it'd go close to around about 900K FOB or more...

the 96 SZ

hold on - is it the black one?? grade 3.5?

i'd be budgeting anywhere between 500K FOB to 8/900K fob

okay the white SZ-R is mint... which will push the price higher - but it's white... which tends to lower local (japanese) interest

being a 2001 SZ-R though, never know where it could go.. my previous price estimation still stands.. anywhere between 800K fob up to a million FOB

it's at Nagoya and goes up for auction tomorrow - if you're mad keen on it then get on the phone to someone.. and express your bid - but you have to pay about a grand brokerage fee before they'll do your bidding for you!!!

keep in mind... you can't go fishing without bait! so you never know... you can pick up a bargain... one of the soarers i picked up was 280K FOB simply cos - well i guess everyone was asleep when it went through auction!

as for the SZ supra - i cannot for the life of me find out any more info - but that car also looks neat ... modified... i wouldn't be bidding on that one without a proper inspection put it that way... and if i was to bid on it... i'd probably have a crack at about 500K??

maybe a bit more

do these prices make sense to you in landed n complied terms though?

sz-r looks so good plus i dont mind white cars. ...that wuld be my first preference but not enuf money

as for making a last minute decision im just going to keep waiting, mainly because my dad is going to have to help pay for car.

thanks for the help mr.eps and yes they vaguely make sense.

this how ive broken it down for the supra sz bodykited one

$6,500 for car,

$990 dollar for broker like iron chef

$2000 Shipping

$3000 Compliance

$1000 duties and taxes

so like close to $14 grand correct?

i really like that sz though, although i just hope there wouldnt be any rust etc. so if i had more time wuld of been nice to get proper inspection

as i said - the SZR could go any price...

could go expensive because - face it... it's a 2001 final build model... it's a 6 speed manual... it is graded by USS auction house as 4.5 which means "almost like new, immaculate car"... and it's interior is B-grade... which also means it's immaculate

it has no aftermarket suspension, no rims, no guage pods, none of that aftermarket "boy" toys

keep in mind.. auction gradings mean NOTHING

my black soarer... that thing was graded at 3... and that thing blew my socks off after i got all the pics through...

but then again

the SZR might go really really cheap if nobody else bids on it or it gets sold after auction in negotiations... who knows... the japs might be busy hunting whales when it goes through... but for the SZR i would be prepared to pay at LEAST 800K fob

Ok so $10,000-$14000 for car,

$2000 shipping,

$3000 compliance,

$990 broker fee,

$1000 duties and charges,

so about $17,000- $21.000

i really should of got a job during the HSC because that would make a really nice p plate car, its immaculate!!!! plus low km's which is a bonus for resale value.

PS very suprised ur soarer was grade 3, it looks great comapred to most of the soarers here in aus

my advice

f**k waiting and buy this

https://bzl.cis6200.jp/e/p5_search_detail.a...amp;p=2&f=p

it's grade R but you never know... it may be graded R because of body mods / respray... it may be well repaired ;-)

or this one..

13483_002.jpg

13483_003.jpg

grade 3.5 83Km

oh and.... 6.5K for car FOB = about 13.4K landed n complied with today's exchange rate... but allot 14/14.5K for tyres + registration costs / any hiccups along the way

That black one looks damnn goood for 3.5. Do you think there would be much chance of it having engine troubles etc?

as for the grade R car i cant see it? it blocks me from seeing the webpage for some reason...although i may have seen it..is that the one thats got a matte silver respray?

resale value regarding imports... keep watching the skies man... anything can happen... ALL imports hold their value... ALWAYS.

i know that this is not everyone's tastes.. but i fvcking LOVE everything japanese and bazaar... everyone here gives me shit all day for the stuff that i like..

but... if i was in your shoes - i'd be shopping hard for a nice pre 89 import... cheap as crud on a stick plus less hassles with compliance... even today after buying my dream soarer i STILL think about cars like these..

1979 toyota markII

1979-Toyota-Mark_2-Lgtouring_front.jpg

1979-Toyota-Mark_2-Lgtouring_rear.jpg

that as a first car would be absolutely porn... you want an import... you're limited to no turbos... supras are too typical!!! get something RIDICULOUSLY unique... =)

or how about a crown convertible :P

1984-Toyota-Crown_front.jpg

1984-Toyota-Crown_rear.jpg

i think that car is just soooo insanely pimp... lower the suspension springs and work equip 01/03 and that thing would be soooooooo pimp

grade R

10047_002.jpg

10047_003.jpg

don't actually buy that it'll be a PITA to comply haha

the black one... 3.5 is still a good car man!

2J is bulletproof engine.. very little problems with toyotas... and even if there IS a problem down the track - who cares? you'll still love the car!!!

but yes - that's my point... don't pay attention to what the auction grade says on paper... you can get a really good car @ grade3 like i did... or you can get a poo wagon graded at 4.5

i really like the bodykit and wing on that car above!!!

hey Mr.Eps if an auction sheet says on the front left and right panels and bonnet. if it says XX on all those panels..wat does it mean?

Yeahhhh that black supra would be damn good. as for that cream coloured car that is soooo sick!!! how much do u rkn that wuld go for...? thatd look so good debadged and lowered on some nice rims.

the convertible??? probably nothing...

i'd be bidding about 200K fob for that thing... well maybe not THAT low lol but i wouldn't be expecting to pay too much for it!!!

ugh!!! the pre89's are KILLING me tonight

1970 toyota crown... grade 3.5 86xxxKM

1970-Toyota-Crown_front.jpg

1970-Toyota-Crown_rear.jpg

put some autosol on the grill and you have yourself a classic!!!

I am seriously thinking of selling off my SZ and keeping the cash until i have enough for an RZ.

Do you want my SZ? its auto though, for a nice price of 10500, i'll get an rwc so that you can get it registered in your state =D

But of course, i'll be keeping my AVS model t6s and will slap on some stock 16 inches.

Hey Xalmon, thanks for the offer but I'm really intent on a manual, not for the purpose of beating the hell out of the clutch, but just because i enjoy driving a manual more...i jus seem to hav better conection to the car. In the VZ Berlina (an auto) it just bores me to death not changing gears, so it would be the same regardless of the car model i.m.o.

Oh well, thank god you're not in melbourne then, having the right leg cramp up in traffic is better than having both legs cramp up in traffic. =D

lol yeah i would be tempted to go for an auto if i was in melbourne, ive seen how the traffic gets there. but ye im in newcastle for 4 years for uni and theres not too much traffic, although it is getting worse, just have to leave at the right times to avoid it.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
