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!

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
