Hey,

I through i post this up for wa members as i have seen alot of traders now offer to buy parts from yahoo auction, the only problem i have found is that there buyer fee is pretty high between 15 to 25%. I've got myself a dude that helps me out and has bought alot of parts for me from yahoo.

I was just wondering if anyone is interested in buying something, you could drop us a pm as i would be more than happy to help out wa members as it would work out pretty easy for me and you guys,

just for you guys to get a feel for things there are a few hks gt2540 and 2530 turbos for sale at the monent to suit rb20/25 all of them u can buy now for around $800 to $1000 (maybe cheaper depending how many people bid) then you just got to add shipping which depending on method (lets say turbo weight is 10kg) it would cost ya about $100 by boat take about 4-6weeks and about $250 by air which takes about 5 - 7days, then add the bank fees and local transport cost in jap (from auction seller to my mate) your most likly looking at getting it for around 1.5k if not under

the only problem is that you can say you never not what you are getting, it could be moring 100% or it could be a POS but again thats the risk you take, most of the ones for sale at the moment are good clean ones which have done few km one has done about 5000km i think so almost new.

again just tring to help anyone out if they want, like i said feel free to drop us a pm

cheers michael

p.s mods if there is something wrong with this thread plz delete im not tring to be a bussiness and sell stuff just tring to help other wa members out

Thanks Micheal...yes i think that sort of mark-up for a few mouse clicks was a bit hard to swallow. Will keep you in mind if i need any bits ok.

not a problem, i cant really get in big stuff like bodykits etc, but stuff like turbos, fmic, engine parts, even rims are within the size i can get (just on that note i saw 2 WORK CR-Kai rims sell for only 15,000yen just under $200 in perfect condition with perfect tyres on them, pretty good if you ask me)

I use a French guy in Japan and he charges me a flat fee after winning the bid and charges me for freight after it has left Japan, with payment it is into his Australian account so no TT fee's.

What are your friends terms.

hey Nigel,

They are the same terms as my buyer, fix fee, and i do not pay anything untill the item is on the way to australia, he also has an australia bank account so, its free to transfer the money if i go to his bank or $5 with my bank

PM me too on how it works... or just post it up?

1. You contact me me with the details of the item you wish to bid on (you can find the item yourself or you can say to me "find me a hks turbo to suit rb25" and i will look for you)

2.Once we have found an item; i will contact explain the condition of the part, current bid etc etc etc

3.Then if you wish to bid on the item, i get your MAX BID (this is the max amount you wish to spend only on the item< if you are unsure of what the tottal cost will be you can just give me the max amount of money you wish to spend on everything and i will work out your max bid from there)

4.Won we have won the auction, the item will be sent to my contact in japan, he will then contact me about the tottal cost of shipping

5.Once he have pick a shipping method (boat or air) the item will be spent

6.Then you contact me and we sent up a method for me tog et the money of you (if you wish we can do it in person, or else you can just transfer into my bank account)

7. I then send the money to my buyer in japan and we wait for the item to arrived in perth

8.Once i get the item, i will contact you, and we can set up a time and place to drop off the item or pick it up

I need to make one point very clear, there is ALWAYS a chance that the item you have bid on isnt what you wanted (e.g the condtion isnt that good); this is the risk involded in buying from a place like yahoo auction. I have found that it is better to stay away from the cheaper auction (for example a trubo which says it may have shaft or a turbo which state there is no shaft play; the price difference is not worth the risk of getting a fcuk turbo)

Also just to add, i can't get big items like bodykits,exhuast etc etc because due to the size, we must uses different shipping method and the cost is very very pricey and in the end doesnt work out to be cheaper

Some people want money up front even before bidding which is suss, the deal Gts_evilution is offering is the go.

We have bought a lot of bits and it is worth the trouble just dont rush in bidding, we have waited 3 or 4 times for the same item till we get it for the right price.

Cheers Nigel :P

I know what you mean sometimes the best option is just to sit back and wait for the right prices, it may take some times but worth it in the end for sure :D

Michael

Sounds like a good deal Michael.

Let's hope you don't bid for someone win it and have them back out.

Maybe you should charge a deposit prior to bid if you don't know the person.

I'd be interested in getting a set of coilovers and staggered wheels to suit a CPV35 Skyline.

You say you can send wheels but if they come with tyres is that too large to transport?

Cheers

Chris

What brand coilovers? with coilovers due to the weight its best to ship by boat as it will work out cheaper, rims im not sure about with tyres have to ask my buyer about that one,

send us a pm chris or email ([email protected]) with info on stuff your looking and i will have alook for ya (you dont have to buy anything as i do mine looking for parts :P)

Also with the issue of despoits, i will only buy stuff for wa people so i can get in contact with them face to face if needed, so if they pull something like no paying i can go around to say hi :D

Hey micheal...want to buy this item...see how you go.http://page12.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auct...ction/p22692517

that item can be bought now for about $320 + shipping and buyers fee; but due to the size the normal method of shipping might not allowed it; so the cost of shipping may blow out ;) but i will contact my buyer and get the info of the tottal cost of shipping

p.s sorry i didnt reply to your email it went into my bulk part of my email, and i didnt get it till now (sunday)

    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers)
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
    • A couple of notes about the TCM. Firstly, it is integrated into the valve body. If you need to replace the TCM for any reason you are following the procedure above The seppos say these fail all the time. I haven't seen or heard of one on here or locally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Finally, Ecutek are now offering tuning for the 7 speed TCM. It is basically like ECU tuning in that you have to buy a license for the computer, and then known parameters can be reset. This is all very new and at the moment they are focussing on more aggressive gear holding in sports or sports+ mode, 2 gear launches for drag racing etc. It doesn't seem to affect shift speed like you can on some transmissions. Importantly for me, by having controllable shift points you can now raise the shift point as well as the ECU rev limit, together allowing it to rev a little higher when that is useful. In manual mode, my car shifts up automatically regardless of what I do which is good (because I don't have to worry about it) but bad (because I can't choose to rev a little higher when convenient).  TCMs can only be tuned from late 2016 onwards, and mine is apparently not one of those although the car build date was August 2016 (presumably a batch of ADM cars were done together, so this will probably be the situation for most ADM cars). No idea about JDM cars, and I'm looking into importing a later model valve body I can swap in. This is the top of my TCM A couple of numbers but no part number. Amayama can't find my specific car but it does say the following for Asia-RHD (interestingly, all out of stock....): So it looks like programable TCM are probably post September 2018 for "Asia RHD". When I read my part number out from Ecutek it was 31705-75X6D which did not match Amayama for my build date (Aug-2016)
    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
