hello, just looking for any feedback on king buyer in Chiba, especially from people who have had any dealings with them, have found a vehicle on their site that i am thinking of importing to australia however just wanted to find out first if they are a respected company in japan, i have been told their prices are generally a little more expensive and the vehicle i am looking at probably does fit that measure, any feedback positive or negative would be appreciated, cheers guys!

I wouldn't go by king buyer's website either, for some stupid reason the cars they list are usually sold by the time you get a response out of them. They also have a fair few hidden costs when buying stuff. They make their cars look good to the newbies and everyone has a toss over their pics, and they speak good english, but they hardly ever list a decent car with a decent price that's still available by the time the regular public see it on the website. They do send out cars a couple of weeks before hand to import agents n stuff though.

We've imported 2 cars I think for our clients because they were adament they wanted "king buyer cars with goodies" but we prefer to avoid them.

    • Maybe it's time for a M3 F80 LCI, and leave it stock.  Drive it to a shop, sip on your latte with nutmeg whilst it gets serviced and on the way home swing by and grab some chai mix for the evening.
    • Great work! Thanks for documenting the process.
    • How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.
    • yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
