Nice find. I bought one in for my brother a whiel back. Ran a 12.4 with exhaust, boost at 18psi. Pretty good for an auto I think you will agree!

I know it may make some of you Nissan boys cringe, but here is my newly purchased car.

1999 Toyota Supra TT 6spd VVT-i

It has about 98,000kms on the clock.

Mods include a full body kit, 18" wheels, coilovers, a sports exhaust and 3 x DEFI gauges.

Looking forward to winding some boost in to the ol' 2JZGTE.

P.S Thanks to J-Spec for hunting down the car for me!

Damn how can u get a vspec for way under $50 k complied & regoed!?!?

This is my one bought last month. She's still in Osaka but will be on a boat soon..

1999 BNR34 Gt-R V Spec. Grade 4 / B.

I set a budget of $50k AUD or under. This car will be way under my budget when regoed so I can buy mods for it.

I'm trying to find one using the same budget too, under 50K on road for a Vspec.

Fingers crossed, had a few pop up but haven't made a bid yet after the inspection by the person in Japan.

How long did you guys wait before finding one that you liked and bid on it?

I've only been signed up for the service for almost a week now.

Kessian and mxfly, mind if I ask what you guys set as your FOB budget in Yen and how much you won at?

I hope I'm not aiming wrongly with what I set as my max FOB.

Not sure what i set FOB, i basically said exactly what mxfly said, "i have a budget of 50k all up landed on my door". Used Northshore Prestige Motors. Paid my fee, and they found be my current car that night :( . Was very lucky in some respects.

Took me about 2-3 months to win that one. I had some cars that I liked but got rejected when they were inspected. Then a couple was approved so i bidded but lost. The blue one above that I finally won was third time lucky.

FOB price was 3 mil yen. I've seen cars sold cheaper but obviously had higher kms, lower grade, repaired, etc.

Wow, thanks guys. I guess I'll just keep being patient and hopefully can find a good example of one.

I was hoping not to spend more than 3.25mil FOB, but that's my absolute maximum if I find something worth stretching that far :D

Fingers crossed!

White and silver tends to be the cheapest you can buy for some reason so 3.25 mil yen is definitely achievable.

Thanks mxfly :bunny:

I landed a winning bid on one yesterday for under my budget!

Now for the gruelling wait to get it in my hands!

    • 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!
