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.

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
