Next month my dads m8 is going over to japan and he has organised with my old man to get me an 89 model car as he has alot to do with the wrecking/scrap yards.. he has said he can get the U12 Bluebird SSS Attesa-LTD with the CA18DET and 4wd.. i am just wondering is there still a few of them around, or are the pretty rare but he still may be able to find one??

Because i really want to get one and he should be able to find me one, but since u live there u may have bit more of what is in Japan And what is hard to find etc...

Thanks

I found this U12 SSS-R for sale at a dealer:

Stock SR20DET goodness...

They're by no means common, but I have seen various SSS Limiteds getting about the Kobe area. The ones that I've seen have between 100,000 to 150,000kms on them though. As with all things, it's right place at the right time kinda situation if you can score one.

oh U12! I didn't read that bit (I was thinking of the next shape). I regularly see one of those in my area - seems to be quite modified too. Not real pretty, but probably very good bang for buck.

I just had a quick look on car sensor, goo and carciao - and, well... good luck finding one! Some great prices on the later cars though - pity they aren't eligble for 15yr importing

I got that pic from Car Sensor... there were only 6 of them for sale this week. Mixed bag of U12 SSS Limiteds, U13 SSSs and SSS Atessas, and that extremely rare SSS-R above.

yea, dad says he deals with alot of scrap yards and he knows what he is talking about but the SR20DET doesnt come under the 15yo rule i dont think as it was 1991, but i think the CA18DET ones started in 1987 or something like that....

he should be able to dig me one up..

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
