Agents In Japan

[Ants]

Ok, I would like to buy a crate engine from japan (Mines Nur spec) and would like to know how I could do this considering that I'm in Aust. and the engine's in Japan. Is there an agent, if so who and what are the costs?

BTW has anyone ever purchased a crate engine from Mines and shipped it to Oz?

Powerplay could probably set this up for you. Tosh and Jo are on the forums. Contact www.powerplayimports.com.au or Tosh.

Theres 2 stages of Mines complete RB26DETT engines you can choose from:

Stage 1 with R34 GT-R N1 turbos: $15,375

Stage 2 with GT2530 turbos: $21,288

Seriously, dropping that kind of money on Mines and they'll sort out the shipping for you, it's up to you to negotiate a cheap rate... but you're getting reamed for the engine so what's an extra $1000 or two for shipping.

Edit: just saw sewid's post, so if you want to get someone else to organise it for you then discard what I posted.

While I would love a crate engine, the cost of one is hard to justify for me compared against what I could have built here.

Anyway, you could also try Just Jap, they ship something like 400 containers yearly, and Steve is in Japan every other month so they might be able to assist if Mines cant organise everything for you

I can most definitely arrange the engine and freight for you. I am based on the Gold Coast too, so you would save freight internally within Australia.

Ok thanks mate, I will be in touch with you.

BTW REZZ, are you sure that Mines stage 1 and 2 come with turbos, as I was looking at this too but was told that only block and head were supplied.

I'm not sure really, I just read their Japanese homepage (which doesn't specifically say 'without turbos') and they've got a corresponding pic of a Mines complete engine out of car with two turbos hanging off (a la Tomei complete engine).

Usually omitting turbos or other critical part they tell you so up front, but I could be wrong.

Hell for that much I better get shipping, my dishes washed and house cleaned and a reach around.
