hey,

I was wondering if one of you fellow sau japan members would be able to help out an sau -wa member :rofl: im currently seraching for an safc II for my car; i have a buyer who can get me one (or bid on one) but they will charged me 10% on tottal cost plus there buyer in japan will charge him 10% so i will also have to pay that. now i dont really mind but if the item goes over my max bid then im out (my max bid isnt very high as i have to factor in other cost inc shipping/buyer fee etc etc)

So whats my point..? Well would one of you kind japan sau members like be my buyer :D basic u bid on the item for me (i will you max bid) once it is won i send u western union money transfer (i think its the best and safest way) then u get the item sent to you then you sent it to me

im guessing not alot of people will be up for doing such a thing as it is a timely process but if someone is plz pm me

thankyou michael

20% is bloody cheap. SAFC (new) yahoo prices are 27,900yen - so he's doing it for pretty much nothing (in my opinion). I charge a flat rate of 10,000 for just about anything I do (multiple units, okay) - not worth my time and effort otherwise. If he's charging you 20% on a 2nd hand unit - he's crazy (which is good for you).

The domestic freight is going to be around 1000yen or so.

Not sure of the weight - but, as an example, a 2kg package is going to cost around 4,500yen via standard airmail.

and, of course, there's always the chance of getting pinged for duty when it arrives...

Hey guys,

Im also VERY interested in doing the same although i'm after some new R34 GTR N1 turbo's. Would any one be keen on buying these and sending these to me? With funds transferred at your choice. There is a set on yahoo auctions now valued at 188,000 which is about the amount i'd like to pay :( I know there a little bit bigger and heavier than a SAFC or whatever so im prepared to pay what is required.

thanks

Jonathan

with 2nd hand parts - the mantra is always ノークレームノーリターン - so bear that in mind - people who buy things for you bear no responsibility for what you get

that said - I've had a fairly good experience with yahoo. A few things were a little more beat up than expected, and one product was totally wrong (16bit harness instead of 8 - for a pfc) - but all in all, not too bad. Still - it's far from risk free.

Lucien - Zac @ Slidewize Imports arranges a container regularly to Australia. His webpage also has some preset searches for the Yahoo Auctions which may help those who aren't up to scratch with their 日本語 :)

Vijay,

Yeah, I am aware of Slidewize but I don't like their fee structure: it seems uneccessarily complicated and is pricer than others.

I have no problems navigating Yahoo JP auctions. The worrying thing is I am beginning to recognise some of the characters (like Nismo's for instance) without the help of translation ;)

Really miffed.. I missed one of two items I really want: a Fujitsubo SuperTi for R32 GT-R :) :) :( Got snapped up within 24 hours before I could organise anything. DOH.

LW.

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
