Just remember only a relatively small number go through the auction houses. It is the car yards/dealers and private market that you need to be looking at in Japan to open your options up....there are always heaps of KGC10's for sale in Japan through the yards. GT-R's are out there too with a good 15-20+ for sale at any given time through the yards also....

What are you after???

that's why I'd want to discuss my options with somebody who really knows the market and specializes in older cars... Japanese restorations can be a bit hit and miss

I'm open to anything really... just something that has been done really well at a reasonable price... wouldn't want to be spending much over 30K so nothing really collectable... I like the GTR mock ups but not sure a good one would fall within my budget

what about z cars, 240's etc... I see a few floating around in Aus but nothing that really interests me... the 240's are pretty collectable now so maybe out of my budget

sorry gone a bit OT, I'll stop whoring this up now :cheers:

I'm surprised the C110 Coupe only fetched 6ish when the 4 door went for just over 10k. Who knows though...

This 4 door up at the moment is VERY clean and rego'd too. I reckon it will go for a song.

Yeah I was going to bid at $6500 but got called into a meeting at the wrong time.

If you mean the gold 4 door for sale ATM I was led to believe it's a dog?

um..i guess all the $$ went into engineering the rear wing. WTF

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
