Theres a really nice set of R34 GTR rims which look like they mite sell cheap. Would be great if they could be brought here.

Cheap !, when the price is in Yellow ( ie. the 190,000 yen ) that is the desired and will sell at price. 190,000 at the current exchange rate is about $2900 aus in japan . Would hardly call that cheap, especially when I have a set of R34 GTR rims and brand new tyres for sale at $3800 .

You really need to have contacts in Japan..... :)

But if someone knows someone..... :)

There are always the Japanese S1 R31 tail lights for sale on Jap Yahoo....

Theyre never any more than $75 AU at auction, but they want over $300 for them here (when you can find them)

like R31 Skyline Chick said its all about contacts. most people over in japan wont be bothered to ship it overseas. not long ago there was a r32 gts4 which no one bided on. there was no reserve so someone could have picked it up for around $500-$800 ( i forget the actual amount )

:confused: ......Japan rims = $2900(and tyres Bridgestone RE040) .....ur selling for $3800(brand new tyres)....why isn't the japan rims/tyres cheap??? :confused:

err ... cos the Japan rims are in Japan and mine are here in Aust with all the duties, taxes , shipping and middleman markup paid.

Find someone to buy em in Japan for you and send em down, you will find out :D

I'm currently waiting to see if I've won a set of wheels on the Yahoo Auction in Japan. The bidding closed about 4 hours ago and I was (... well I think I was) the highest bidder with 41,500Y. By the time they get here should cost about $1000 (If I've won them *fingers crossed*).

I'm able to do this thanks to J-SPEC Imports . Thanks heaps!!!!

They're 18 x 8 made by Rays Eng for a company called Brunt. Brand new as well...

Congrats and goodluck.

Keep us updated

BTW if u dont mind, how much is craige charging u to bring em here?

Just got word that they are now mine!!!! ;)

They came in at 56,500Y (~$832), transport in Japan is 14,500Y to make a grand total of 71,000Y(~$1045) FOB. GST looks like it'll be $80 odd, duty $130, and about $50-$150 for freight.

So it looks like a brand new set of Rays 18x8s will be mine for about $1400-$1500! Not bad considering they go for about $2500 normally!:D

easy, go to  

www.altavista.com

then click translate, then in bottom part type in http://auctions.yahoo.co.jp

then change it to say japanese to english then gclick button, and your in, with english

This is certainly the way I've been doing it. But lately (ie ever since they revamped the look of the site) the translation page has been a bit farked (after you hit translate it just reloads the translation page). If you keep trying it usually works after a couple of goes tho.

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
