pitchd Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 ahh i was going to import my car all by myself but decided to save myself a bit of stress.. i ended up going through an agent - www.jspec.com.au J-Spec imports have been wonderful to me (apart from my car missing the boat... that was shipping companies fault though) - adz Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/61457-yahoo-auctions/#findComment-1161436 Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymonkey Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 lol cool, next mailing list I'll be definite to include a couple of DR30's for you guys to perve at. If you're not on the mailing list join up and I'll send it out tonight... www.j-spec.com.au they're just examples that we pick, but it should give you an indication of what's available on the market. If you're serious about importing one, give us a call. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/61457-yahoo-auctions/#findComment-1161462 Share on other sites More sharing options...

.75 degrees sideways Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Hey Shan. I'm not importing the car anymore, but can you import rims? I've found a set. Also i've heard the perps at yahoo auctions won't sell to you unless you can communicate with fluent japanese. Any way around this?

floody Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Hey Shan. I'm not importing the car anymore, but can you import rims? I've found a set. Also i've heard the perps at yahoo auctions won't sell to you unless you can communicate with fluent japanese. Any way around this? Generally they won't sell to you unless you are in Japan or have a contact who can both speak Japanese and has a Japanese contact address. If you can get someone who lives there to make the arrangements, ship the item to them, then ship it here. A friend of mine does just that with his car parts, he's brought in rims, grilles, lights, badges, mirrors etc for his TE37 Levin corolla that way.

frigjam Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I purchased my R32 GTS-4 from the Yahoo auctions with assistance of Prestige Motorsports. The only problem I found was the lack of info prior to the auction, whereas the other auctions seem to more detailed and you tend to have a better idea what you are buying (less chance of importing a piece of shit). I was thorougly happy with my purchase, and when I finally got it, there were heaps more goodies than I was aware of. Just be careful and find out as much info as you can before you bid/buy a yahoo auctions vehicle.

funkymonkey Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 if you get in on the auctio early you can post questions to the seller. Also you can contact the seller and have a mechanic go out and inspect it. Its just all about timing, shouldn't leave whole car auctions to the last minute.

funkymonkey Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 yahoo might not be the best place to chase up new stuff... I'll have a look on yahoo for you, but I think I know a couple of shops over there that might do a good price on new clutches. Are you after any brand in particular?
