Good luck getting that translated

Its really weird. Apparently alot of the auctioneers don't write japanese, they put all their comments in english (or their idea of english) and they actually write in down on the paper with japanese letters. .. So its hard even for japanese speaking people to read..

Not to mention the scribble that is your auction sheet.. They should definately make bigger spaces for comments - considering alot of these cars are highly modified

:headspin:

well there is a few things you can tell about it without needing to read japanese. firstly, it's an accident grade car. secondly it's a 1989 model. body doesn't look too bad. some pin dents and something up with passenger side window, some sratches and possibly indicating some accident repair (not really sure). your buyer should be able to have this interpreted for you.

I can read most of it - it's definitely in japanese, LOL - the core problems with auction sheets are:

1. handwriting tends to be atrocious

2. kanji is small (often this partly to do with the size of the scan) - makes it hard to differentiate

3. they write in a 'code' - a kind of shorthand - people in 'the know' will understand it - but if you don't know the lingo/abbreviations - it can be guesswork only

If no-one transaltes it soon, I'll tell you what I can

(blacky - if you are reading this - I haven't forgotten about you, I just haven't had the time/opportunity to pass on your sheet)

Thanks for your input! =)

The details for this Auction sheet:

R33 N1 turbos

Mines modified ECU

OS twin plate clutch

Mines direct shifter

N1 headlights

Pivot tension rods

Nismo speedo

Adjustable suspension

N1 brake rotors

HKS exhaust (with front pipe)

Mines strut brace

Apexi air filter

Brake master cylinder stopper

Can the mines ecu be tuned in australia?...... And how does it compare to others like the Apexi PFC or E-manage?

:flamed:

bet he's stoked now, N1 turbos... :cheers:

Yeah i'm reading DaiOni, and thats cool, whenever u get round to it is ok. I've had a few people have a stab at it now including J exchange students and they all think its hard to read. But they all manage to get "Rigid Spacer"! .

here's part 1, I'll try to squeeze in a bit more later:

89 bnr32 GTR, gunmetal grey

* 65,710km. Km are listed as 'unclear' as the car has a nismo speedometer

* r33 rb26dett

*n1 turbos

* frontpipe (downpipe, or whatever you want to call it)

* cat-back exhaust

* mines cpu

* OS twin plate clutch

* mines 'direct shift' (??)

* rollbar

* n1 rotors

* boost meter

* lots of little scratches, including stonechip(s), and scratched rims

* there is a bit that looks like 'no factory parts' - but it's under the bit about the nismo dash (hard to tell if they are connected) - so it may be saying 'has a replacement speedo, and no original speedo' (so - can't verify kms)

I'll need to get my magnifying glass out for the rest, :)

okay, part II...

* I can't deceipher the first 'sales point' - first kanji is 'car', second appears to be 'high', I think the last is chou - which can mean condition/style. It's a total guess, but I think the inference is that this is a 'high-level car' (probably a reference to the degree of modification)

* has 17" rims

* has a 'takuu' bar (?)

* from my translation, it says "The owner has done a lot of modifications to this car, to confirm everything (on the car) come and look at it". I think, it suggests that there may be a lot more mods to the car

* pillow-ball tension rods

* oil catch can

* there's something about lock-nuts and a spare key - but not sure what (I would hope it says that they come with the car...)

* seat(s?) are worn/damaged

* the floor of the boot has been repaired

* the car has had repairs done, including dent repairs ('dent' is a very cool kanji - you learn something every day!)

* there are scratches and dents on the underbody (I'd assume there probably is surface rust too - but that is not listed)

* rear 'spo' (I'm guessing that is an abbrev. form of 'spoiler'...) has a scratch

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
