dont forget, even if you buy one, there will always be things going wrong, and they are very expensive to fix!

dont think that just because you can afford to buy a GTR you can afford to "own" one, you need to be able to comfortably be able to be paying to fix,rego insure, mod it etc....

Its interesting. Perhaps I am biased, but it seems to me that outstanding examples (Grade 4+) have always been quite expensive, but what has happened lately is that Grade 3-3.5 cars have started reaching stupidly high prices (and Grade 4s have maintained a -- somewhat reduced -- premium).

LW.

the cheapest atm is around 23k already in the country (carsales had 2-3 for this price) I was hoping that around christmas they would hit around 20k but who knows

id love to get one for 20k but im thinking maybe its not a great idea since chances are it will need atleast another 5k done on it almost straight away unless you get lucky...and then if you have an engine blowout or what ever you will be paying big bucks to get it on the road again.

89's are going for 800-1.1 mill yen at the moment and that is crazy

last year they were going for 400k yen

91 models that are just as crap are going to 400-800 yen

crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but yet people think they are getting a bargain

Fatz I agree that prices have risen a whole lot, but it is just one of those supply/demand issues. I know you're aware of what a Series 6 RX-7 sells for, or a WRX - compare that to the Trading Post over here. Many people happily part with $30,000+ for an RX-7 you can buy in Japan for Y200,000 [edit: well maybe not that cheap, but close]... If a buyer cannot access a particular market (ie. R32 via SEVS - until recently) then the prices of other cars isn't very relevant?

As 'they' say, something is only ever worth what someone is prepared to pay for it.

I hope I don't sound rude or simply stating the obvious - that's not my intent - the bargain is in the eye of the beholder and that doesn't necessarily make them stupid.

As an aside, I wonder what a VL Calais would be worth on a Japanese market.

My 2c

If your genuine and going to buy one now

Check this one out

I dont know what its like but the cars in perth

and worth a look at 22K.

Otherwise wait till early next year as there will probably be plenty of 89models

already in the country to inspect yourself.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
