hey guys,

Just starting the importing process (still searching). i have read in other threads where people found links on auction sites. but most of those links have now died and i cant read japanese, so i cant figure out how to go back to the main site lol.

i want to browse those sites just incase my broker/agent has missed out on anything that i could be potentially interested in.

anyways, currently looking at a GTR R34 vspec or vspecII(if im lucky), for 50k or under landed and on road.

any help would be appreciated.

cheers

You can use https://bzl.cis6200.jp/e/ with sign in id - V38095

Doesnt show you auction reports though like on the J-Spec site. Have trust in your broker , if he is any good then he surely wont miss a beat you just have to be patient. Also check http://exchange.goo-net.com/ for fixed price cars.

^^^no auction report sheets, BUT you DO generally get a much bigger warning of cars using the legit USS browser...

ie: you'll know about an auction that is on wednesday.. and see the car come up on the sunday before - whereas Jspec you see it on the tuesday arvo :P

...down side of the USS site is that if you find the car you want - you end up walking around for three days with a boner anxious over whether or not you are bidding enough :P

my personal opinion

:)

i like to browse import monster for his ability to view yahoo japan

and i tend to use www.japaneseusedcars.com these days

because you get a fairly vast and varied view of auction houses, also the cars are listed in year built order so you're not jumping from 1989,2004,2002, 1994, etc etc

plus japaneseusedcars have put their dealer view back up again finally :P

the reason you've only been shown two cars will probably be because your broker only VISITs one auction house a day - they're not going to go to kansai to inspect a car for you if they're in tokyo on that day unless you tell them its super duper important that they send an auction runner on a train out there to view your car... (for example)

for instance:

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
