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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Do you know anyone in Japan that will help out? for some $$ of course.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
