Hey Guys..

Well i've been here for a while now, and im starting to get ideas (dangerous ones). I'm thinking about buying and then bringing a car home.. Its really at an initial (if not premature) stage, but im interested in know whats involved. First things like where to buy (auctions/yards/etc?) and then owning, and finally the most difficult part, bringing it home. Can anyone add some insight to this? Any and all information is welcome!

And im looking for a rotor, preferably series 6 or higher.

Thanks!

Pete

I've just been through this process about a month ago (but to New Zealand).

If you're looking for an Auction agent in Tokyo, have a talk to this company.

http://www.grahamberry2.co.jp/. In particular, Fujita-san ([email protected]) is the bloke that you're after.

Fantastic service.

PS PM me if you want more info.

I just explained this over in PF, else there should be a wealth of knowledge already here.

I'm sure most Japan members are sick to death in answering unless you have a specific question.

Sorry can't give any help for Auctions in Tokyo, but USS will be the best Auction to work with linking up all Auctions around Japan.

edit, forgot the link

    • There are black hose clamps as well if you care. Plazmaman for example sells some: https://plazmaman.com/product/black-hose-clamps-premium-quality-stainless-breeze/
    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
