Yeah spotted that the other day.

He is dreaming about getting $6K for a car that can not be complied.

Reckon you could land one here from Japan for about $4K.

Auction Price is about $2,000 - $2,500

Cheers

I just scored a grade 4 2005 , 3.5L black 4WD Axis S PNM35 shape for $4300 nzd from Japanese auctions.

Total cost complied should be $10k all up

Exactly my point. This e-bay car can not be complied. If you can get a grade 4 2005 Axis at auction for $4,300 then how little would you pay for an older car to bring in purely to break for parts.

If you wanted a parts car which is what this e-bay 2004 ARX effectivly is, then you could pick up something older and higer k's for $2,000 - $2500 therefore $4,000 landed. Forget the cost of compliance because this car is not getting complied ever.

That could be a good deal for someone who missed out on our group buy back in 2012. We paid $180 delivered iirc - I wonder what this one will end up costing all up?

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
