Well Yahoo have gone and turned away more customer's with their bizzare policies. They no longer accept foreign credit cards to sign up for new auction accounts and old auction accounts can not change to foreign credit cards either.

Making it harder on Aussies.

but 90% of the auctions dont ship international, so even if you sign up, what is the point?

not exactly revolutionary... you'll have to match or better rates that other ex-pats offer... and rinkya. the margins are so low these days its usually not worth the headaches.

that and when the retarded AUD does shit like this it sure doesnt help either...

LOL at the current rate being well off the bottom of the graph!

still if you do some research and make some contacts you can see how much margin rinkya, nengun and greenline have and can undercut them.

Is a personal import from japan into Australia permissible for any car.

Or put another wa,y will DOTRS in Canberra issue an import certificate for any car, eg diesal/petrol.

Can I stay in Japan but send the vehicle to oz ,or must I arrive before the vehicle?

I am sure the link with ebay will fall to bits due to people without money to pay for items winning them. It is the main problem I have had dealing with Australians. It is easy to spot an overseas buyer as they usually have a lot of bad feedback with cancellations. My record is clean so far but I had a number of "headaches" from SAU members who seemed to think that I was running a layby scheme under the bonnet of their cars.

It is interesting that a number of auctions now specifically say "if you are foreign or can't speak Japanese don't bid"

Had to sign up to get the info... :banana:

Import Monsters fee – Minimum 2500yen, then 25% of the purchase price up to a maximum of 25000yen. So even if you bid 500000yen, the maximum fee you will pay is 25000yen

its good... if you dont like money! LOL

I guess they have a lot of ppl to pay so that kind of operation would cost a lot to run, not hard to undercut them by a fair margin though.

Well here it is... my first ever bilingual auction!

I am not sure how I can find it through eBay but it had a seperate part for an English description.

http://page22.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/l5001090

yea looks orite i guess, but you had to type that out in English didnt you? so it doesn't translate plain Japaneses text :banana:

unless most sellers actually start shipping internationally its still crap.

Actually it does have the option to translate the text automatically, but obviously that is limited by the quality of the translation software.

Hehe, if anyone has seen your car Streeter they will know you really should charge more... :banana:

      R34 Diff oil

      By Duncan · Posted

      Only thing I'd add...is on recommendation from a good diff shop, I've used mineral oil in my diff including the race car for years. The synthetics can be too slippery and glaze the gears

      75W90 GL5 is fine. If you aren't sure about the type get one with LSD additive.

      Short shifter r34

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Because you're effectively rushing the shift and forcing it to go in - with greater leverage against parts that don't _want_ to go together. Short shift = forcing the gear in harder. Also Redline Heavy Shockproof actively says not to use it in anything with Synchros. Well, it says "not recommended" which is basically as far as anyone will ever say in a product statement to "Do not use" Generally the Redline makes the gearbox feel great... until it fails faster. https://www.redlineoil.com/heavy-shockproof

      R34 Diff oil

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      99.9% of them are viscous diffs. The 0.01% are helicals. They were only option-able in the series 2, as well. I have redline heavy shockproof in my helical. It seems... fine? I don't think anyone is ever going to know until something really breaks and at that point I'm not sure anyone will blame the oil. I just chose it because it's extremely heavy duty and my car will see not-road-legal duty for it. I've also had sadness with various diff oils in the past sweating out everywhere and/or other 'fun' things, with clutch diffs. Given you have a 1.5 way on the shelf, I'd not even bother with the diff in the car and just get to tinkering with it. I would spend the $90 on oil toward the labor of someone else putting the diff in if time poor even lol.

      R34 Diff oil

      By drifter17a · Posted

      I believe mine is helical and not clutch type. During drifting one wheel was spining as if it was open diff so bought kazz 1.5 way and has sat on my shelf for the past 5 years as I want to learn shiming process and do it myself   in meantime thought I change the diff oil hence post here. So any 75-90?   i am pretty sure r34 are helical not clutch lsd as standard . That is gtt ones
